Hi there guys and girls. Been on here floating around and you said that it was ok to post my car up so here she is. I share it with my twin bro. I copied this off another form im in which i down a write up for ;)

Long and behold and mostly over due, My first car. The VW Polo ;)

On Christmas Day 2011 i was completely gob smacked as my Dad surprised me and my bro with our first car. i just didnt know what to say at the time and he tought we didnt like it haha and my mum was crying lol. I dont have any pictures of when i go it but but dont a few weeks after when i washed it.

This was sat on our drive for about 5 months as we finished to pass our tests. But we did go out alot to pratice with my parents. And the added moving it around the drive a lot hahaha.

My dad brought this from manchester for £1400 i think and with 80,000 on the clock. Well just over. The people that were selling it didnt drive it for a good 6months as ended a new wheel bearing and other little bits but wanted a good £1800 for it. But hes got them down as you can see but its a 3.5k car as it is.

Spec:
Polo 9n1 'Twist' (Twist/ 9n "1" meas it had extras)

I know the bloke that's got my old MK5 GTI that's got the ED30 splitter from one of your MK5s on if that's any cancellation dude, maybe bring you a little closer to nostalgia?
