I just know how the GTI is going to get driven once you've picked it up again after a while chugging around in that thing!!  :grin:

Heh, had to get used to driving RHD again, haven't done it in a little under a year. It felt so uncomfortable haha.  It's funny I've noticed people stateside get excited over Euro things, and i've noticed euro gti owners get excited over stateside specific things. For instance I plan on getting the side markers color matched (hate the reflectors). And we also do not get that sweet "euro" lip below the front bumper (another thing I would love to get done.)

The thing is, with such a low powered car you will learn to drive properly again. You will learn to read the traffic, Not tailgate but build up your speed to then pull out and over take etc etc. Which will then make going back to the Golf more enjoyable as you would have got away from bad habbits.

Sorry to see the damage to your car  :cry:
