after loads of messers ringing me up the past few months, the first viewer came yesterday and he loved it..

hes only from near me so will be seeing it about (if he does take it) hes had a few caddys and polos etc and brought his mate along whos had a few mk1s and they couldnt believe how solid my mk1 was..

i knew it would be going with the first viewer, he said he 100% wants it and is coming around the weekend with the cash..

be sad to see it go but i just cant afford a daily car to keep this for the summer months (and before people say i would love to use the mk1 daily but its just not ideal)

stressing me out because i just dont have any idea what so ever on the car i want next..

its 27years old, takes a little while to warm up, heaters aint the best etc

glad i took it off the road when i did with the shite weather we have had..

it could be used everyday, i didnt say it couldnt its just not an ideal car..

even the guy understood and said he would only use it for the summer etc like he did with his caddy..

luke- its a manual choke but being 27years old it just takes about 5mins to warm up before you can drive it, really wish i could keep it and get a cheap daily but i just cant afford it

you just cant beat a corsa for the price they cost, for example, 1.4 sport (air con, all electrics, pas etc etc)

but ive had 3 now so i really need to have a good think about it tbh..

well the guy brought the deposit around yesterday, coming with all the cash monday, so i need to think what car im going to get next..

spend it all on 1 car

or

buy a cheap daily and put alot of cash away

any ideas?

5 mins to warm up before you can drive the golf :O

my mk1 was fine, fired up straight away and you could go.

mine fires up first time, pull the choke out, leave it to warm up then your off..

i think the choke needs to be adjusted tbh, i wouldnt even say its 5mins tbh, more 3 mins to warm up then thats it, but with the very cold weather lately i would say it would take 5mins...

I always warm my cars up anyway before i even drive them so that would make no difference to me
