As a fisherman myself, before I had the rs4 I was running around in my old mans Ford C-MAX, perfectly fine motor, and plenty around that are well within budget. Plus should be easy yo fix as Mike says.

Don't know whether it would be any use but my wife's TT is for sale.

Its a Mk1 TT 225 Quattro with 68k miles that we bought while we were putting money into house improvements (old houses don't have cost you money to jmprove).

Not at the cheap end of the spectrum and possibly too far away from you but give me a shout if your interested.

In the last year we have put in over £2k into the car with servicing and new suspension etc. Not exactly ticked the man maths box but wanted to make sure my wife was safe in the car.

After we changed the suspension I was really surprised at the turn of pace on the TT. Know they get a bad press as a bit "hairdresser" but its been a blast on the back roads.

Beggars can’t be too choosy. He reckons he’ll get all his gear in with the seats down.

I take it those are actually wheel trims, not alloys? That front wheel looks octagonal!

Yea. Thank god. Lol. I thought that they were alloys at first but a closer look and they’re hub caps.

YES! Never ever thought I've keep mine this long. Washed it twice in 2017. Swapping from winter to summer wheels tomorrow, wash if she is super lucky, although my main priority is taking the 205 for a drive on the road for the first time since October ahead of a major service in a weeks time.

Found any freebies under the seats? Found much that doesn't work? Nice little daily yours.

Don’t start me. Glove box lid broke. There’s a knocking noise started from underneath the rear which I think is the rear drop links. I was changing the battery and I dropped a brand new 10mm snap-on socket down a gap and cant find it for the life on me. Apart from that I’ve only put 40 litres of nasty juice in it and done about 300 miles and it’s still showing a 1/3 of a tank. At this rate I might just keep it and use it just to go to the truck park. I might even take up fishing just so I can abuse it some more.
