Think I know what you mean . Part of the reason why I'm asking after my old  GTi s is that , back in 2001 wife bu66ers of after 17 years .
Thats bad enough but prior to her going she decides she wants a new car so like a tw-t that I am I agree to part ex my beloved mk2 for a passat 1.8t sport ..... I I only  drove it a few times before the cow bu66ered off in it . So now I left with 3 girls 12,10 & 8  and a 2.0l vento which I'm gradually ( as you have seen the pics ) changing in to hopefully  something a bit less dull !
