    New car for Coco

    Just signed the paperwork for Coco's next toy.....

    my "sensible" car...
    So it's 5doors, 2 litre, Silver.....

    oh and it's a Turbo, with 230bhp and a GTI badge on the back

    It's a 2008 (March 1st reg hopefully) Golf GTI Edition 30.

    The S2000 went about 6 weeks ago and I've been driving a £150 1.25 Fiesta LX since tho, so it will be nice to get back into a decent car!

    Ah, ok. The satnav unit is decent for audio apparently.

    Obviously this isn't as important to you as it was to me

    For a sensible car that's not bad... Shame it's a Golf, but hey can't win them all. (i am being won over slowly though...)

    I'd quite like a "sensible" car like that next.
