I park mine some way from my front door (to avoid the wall where the kids sit and all the overhanging trees) so it means getting all i need, trapsing over the car park, and then everyone gets really interested in you, when i get my laptop ill post some of my de-rusting pics up and you'll see what i mean, i think i had about 10 people hanging around me at one point, no joke. For a girl who knows not so much about cars its quite intimidating!
I know what you mean about lack of electrics, its more raw. But it has its down sides, like noise for example. Although i swear my engine isnt meant to be that loud.
Im quite glad i have no surplus electrics really, less can break! As lum does like to break!
What mark does that make the car your getting? MK4?
In all honesty I really wanted an MK2, I only realised that after getting the car though. I didnt really know what a polo was until it turned up on my door step!
I have now seen the light 
Mine put me back 300 but it only had 49k and almost a years MOT which is my main thing, it was in pretty good nick, the now ex who found it for me said it was worth 600, i duno about that.
Think its funny i paid the same for the wheels as i did the car! hehe
My god you can tell im at work, im foruming for england!
