My names Alex, 20 from Cardiff.. i have had my fair share of cars, on my 8th one now, mostly old polos.. pics of them further down.. basically i have got board of old cars and have grown up and want something half decent.at the start of the year i set my eyes on a 9n3, after looking round a bit i discovered a few polo 6r's for sale in Bridgewater volkswagen.. at first i though the 6r was out of my price range but this was too good to turn down, after a phone call i was up there the next day putting pen to paper..
so i bought a 60 plate polo with my own money may i add, very happy chappy..
the model is 1.2 petrol 60 S with air con... one of the lowest models i know but im only 20 and insurance is a killer!
a few of previous cars..
and the 6r..
as soon as i got it i purchased a private plate.. my girlfriends name is Bes and my name is Alex so Be5 4lex couldnt really get a better plate.
gave it a good clean and a polish

Just a question, is that a Polo 6r GTI behind you in the picture of you washing the car?
