just so everyone knows, havnt taken my driving test yet but it is next month so fingers crossed!

right now to the cars...

this is my second car now, did have a nissan micra which i owned for 11 months but i was never over the moon with it... long story short, my dad bought it for me to learn in pretty much but now i finally have money i have a test booked so i knew it was time to buy something i actually wanted! was searching for months for something cheap and within a close distance! as my step dad is a trader he was always involved with the BCA (british car auction) and that is where i found penny the polo she had done 43K, full service history (yet to recieve it), completely standard, body work in reasonable condition but a number of dents which are being sorted out! now for the pictures...
