My New car - Not a FORD!

A month ago a Taxi driver pulled out infront of me from a stop sign and I "T" boned him on his back wheel. The result below ensured that the froggy mobil went straight to heaven.



We decided to update and as we also have a larger family car it made sense to keep with a smaller second car. Here is the result and it's a bloody nice car!



A VW Polo GTi 1.8T

    I would have liked to go with the Golf but it also had to be a GTi. The current Gen V GTi's are still in the high $20k mark and the Gen IV were similar money to the Polo although they're considerably older (and have the same drive line).

    We simply couldn't justify the extra $10k above the Polo which is a 2006 model with 45k on the clock. I'm VERY impressed with te care the previous owner took as it's like a new car without the price tag. Paint work is also of a higher quality than the Jap or local cars.

    Ouch!

    Even though you had told me previously, I hadn't seen the photos until tonight.

    The Polo is a fantastic car, everyone I know who owns one loves it to pieces!
