My 2nd car was a mk1 polo coupe. I lost the keys so my dad smashed the barrel off so it could be started with a screwdriver and had an oil leak which dripped straight onto the maifold. alwasy gave me a liitel smile inside when I parked it in town, Abandoned on a plume of smoke and then it looked like I was knicking it when I left [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Mk 1 Polo coupe! Wow. Really nice car. I'm a bit jealous now!

It's amazing how these things come around. it was over 15 years ago and at the time it was a throw away car bought for £100 with long mot and when MOT time came around it got thrown away. around the same time I had a running mini I bought for £15 because that was the scrap value and sold it for £50 as a running project. now you would be lucky to get any mini for under £500
