Advice (and a lift)

Was driving my car to work the morning when the head gasket blew so had to get the RAC out for a tow. Anyway, does anyone know anything about cars? The garage man said it'd probably cost ?400-500 to fix. Is that about right? Is it worth it or should I just cut my losses and buy a new one? Really annoying thing is I only had the brakes done on it last week. It's a P-reg Rover 414.

Finally - can anyone give me a lift to Norwich from York on Saturday for the game? It's looking like I'll have to get the train at the moment. Arse.
