Really suck's!!!
Was planning to get a shitter for a few months to allow savings to build up until into next year but im getting well frustrated, feel like a prisoner in my own home.
Was meant to buy a Mk2 golf....that fell through, then meant to get my sisters old car but she's trading it in now so cant get that.
Not sure if I should just stick to plan, go without completely or just buy something now or what.

There is a wonderful thing called public transport, you could use it.
It's pretty good, full of nice respectable people, its reliable, cheap and an all round wonderful relaxing experience.

Nope, it's full of racists and is always late. Often stinking of piss.

Buses do stink of wee, I dont do buses. Taxi's soon get expensive if using them day in day out.

Yes either a 997 or a GTR early next year, get bonus in Feb so hopefully another 3 months saving plus that will give me enough to put down.

Not much on Gumtree, seen a Suzuki Jimmy for £1800 but think i'd resent paying that for one.

Don't buy a 997 yet!
With the 991 arriving soon the 997 prices will drop even more.
