For the Golf to have outsold the beetle is a feat within itself.........overall its a testament to a brilliantly marketed and well manufactured car.........something that I'm sorry to say this country has lost the plot with :cry: And to think we started the whole VW ball rolling, post second world war :shocked:

The irony of it is the vw company is still paying out war reperations because of its nefarious investments in the government of the day.. :lipsrsealed:
