Well the MCS has now gone and I have the money sat in my bank burning a hole in my pocket

I originally was going to buy & still looking into them a MK5 golf GT TDI 140/170 but they are far & few between unless you want to part with quite abit of money, or your looking at around the 70k mile mark. I've set my self £7k with abit to play with should a real minter come up so looking into the Astra SRI 150 with exterior pack, any one got had one and what they like? Reason for parting with the mini is the fuel consumption. I'm off to look at the one in the link to see what i think of them, this is the spec & colour I'm after.

Now don't worry i have no intention of buying this one as it look's a shit garage and they couldn't be bothered to clean it but i just want to have a look at one and drive to see what they are like.

yes yes i no but i wasn't having to drive much when i brought it, but now have to drive alot more soon and want to save to move out so the toy's have to go & sensible car in

Just been to view one and actually love them for what they are, looked dead smart dash is a bit plain but i love the black roof lining and trim. What can you get out of them with a remap?

I have a Sport Hatch CDTI 150 with XP in Silver. No everyday drive with decent pull low down the rev range. Decent on the motorway in 6th gear. Nice and smooth. Try and get one with AFL xenons as they're one of the more desirable options.
