Meet Snowball.

I'm going to be totally honest here. This car is not pretty. I bought it in desperate need of a run around until the Polo was alive again, so now it's time for her to go. She is a treasure chest of parts which comes with the car. No exception to this rule, you take my junk car and its junk.

I'll start with the pros:

- She drives

- She has an MOT with no advisories (screams out dodgy to me)

- You get to keep every bit of junk inside it (there's actually some gems - couple of turbos, a gearbox, loose change, some items more valuable)

- surprisingly, the central locking actually works

- Brand new halfords advance battery!

- It's a Golf

- Electric sunroof works

- All the lights work

- A lot of car for £300

Now the cons:

- She needs revs to stay alive so you have to strictly left foot brake and take her out of gear way before a junction. Haven't bothered to look at what the issue is.

- Generally embarrassing to own and be seen driving in.

- Paint is shoddy, rust here and there.

- None of the windows work except the passenger front.

- Well, actually it just kind of falls down. I tried wedging it up with a plank of wood but to no avail.

- No headunit fascia so no tunes.

- Breaks are pretty poor.

- Only one key works; I was given spares but they don't do anything

- Front passenger indicator is wedged precariously in the wrong vent and sometimes falls out

All in all, if you could be bothered to fix it up you could probably getting something relatively okay. She needs work, for sure, but as a runaround she does the job. Open to offers for it as well. Just need it gone.

This picture makes it look way better than it actually is.
