Failed M.O.T..Now its for the scrapper:sorry:

[#Ghost#]

Grrrrr...just got my car back from the M.O.T station and it failed due to excessive rust on the areas where the suspension fits too the car,on all four corners...it would cost me about 400-500 quid to get it right which i really cant afford...i am gonna scrap it coz i could buy another astra for that much...its dead and the guy in the garage said even if it was welded up(which it could be)then by this time next year it will be knackered again so bye bye car
I spent the last 2 hours stripping out my sound system and skirts and alloys n stuff...i cant even break it coz i have no garage for it
time to get a new one i think......damn it i hate money som much right now!!!


Bye.Bye!

i hopefully will be getting another MK3 coz i like the way they drive and look and evrything
but now i am gonna have to struggle to work and stuff coz i dont have the cash to buy another yet...
