Thought since I've got a new Pug, I better make a new post 
Found online for me by Jamie (puglove) and I picked it up the next day for the resonable sum of £1450. 2005 model with all extra's and only 53000 on the clock. Sadly it was previously a Category C write off, but as far as I can tell this was for a side smash which ended up with a banged in door and front wing. Pah! I've had worse accidents than that making breakfast!
First impressions are good, don't know why everyone hates them so much! Sure, they are not as fast as a Gti6, and the gearbox and ride are pretty poor, but they are nippy and have decent handling. The seats are lovely too. Going through a bit of a documentation nightmare with the DVLA at the moment regarding Tax, but have been assured it will be fixed within a couple of weeks.
Looking forward to seeing the club during the show season, and hope to get on the Track a fair bit and see what shes made of! Noticed last week (after I bought it) that It has brand new Michelin Pilot Exalto 2's. So about £380's worth of good gripping tyre to play with!
Anyway, here she is . I'll grab some better pictures when the weather gets better.
