For the love of cars

Most of you who know me well were probably waiting for this post... YESS  a post about cars..
So most of you know i am currently fortunate enough to even own a car ,thanx to my dad . My post today is going to be about my car and the hopes of selling it :)




Cute right? nahhh i had bigger dreams for this car such as :

  • powerflow exhaust
  • lowering kit
  • white rims 
  • sunroof 
  • leather seats
  • sound to be installed 
  • new tyres
  • induction kit 
  • xenon lights 
 my dad agreed to help me out and work it in towards it being my 21st gift ,but he did not know what he was getting himself into until i gave him the prices of everything ,it added up to quite a penny. I had to make up a monthly schedule of what we would have done to the car till october and the price and contact details of everything, we were on month one ,and a week before we went to have my sound installed he told me to wait , i was obviously upset  all though his conclusion was to sell my car and get a faster one . 

For my "new" car ,same year model,just a bit faster i have looked at the polo GTI 2007 model and the Focus ST 2007 model
