NEW CAR!!

Had a rather busy weekend chasing down this one particular car I had my eye on (not literally) which was advertised on the Gumtree Norwich website. I've been saving up for over a year to buy a new car, but not just any old one, but an upgrade, a Vw Golf, preferably a 1.4 (cheaper to run, especially for us students!) so it's a step up from the Vw Polo.

It's done me well the Polo Mint, but felt I needed a wayy more reliable and updated mode of transport in a car form. I've basically outgrown the Polo which I had for 5 years. It's done me brilliantly, never any problems, despite the odd breaking down in the winter, but do you expect, from a 1997 model.

The Golf I found was perfect, perfect everything, so clean, great drive and, well, perfect! Myself and the step dad drove half hour away to take a look at the car, then had a test drive, and made the deal straight away, no hesitations as there were loads of others interested as we expected.. first come first serve though! Feel very licky to have it. Huge difference to the Polo, didn't think I would be so amazed by a cup holder in my life, let alone heating coming on straight away!

It's been a dream of a drive, love it. Literally only went to Tescos last night so I could drive Gerta (German female name, had to be) and all I went and bought was a bulb, yeah.

P.s The Polo is stored at my dads, awaiting for when my sister starts to drive, so I thought I could pass it down to her, as she's still perfect to drive! Huge brother points.
