My GF is ok with my obsession. If she was not, I would change her.............................................

This man speaks the truth. I think my gf is used to all things VW now seeing as I've been into aircooled for the 4 or so years I've been with her. The mk2 is a step up to her as it has heating and doesn't reak of fuel  :grin:

She even wants a Lupo as her first motor

my mrs won't drive my mk2 because she can't get the seat close enough because of the gear stick hitting the recaro seat bolster when attempting 5th.  It was obviously designed to be a man's car!!

If I get any grief I just remind the GF that I had to see my MKV GTI to by a diesel estate when the sprog was born. Or the old "I bought it off  e-bay, it was a bargin!" some times works. At least she loves driving the MK2.

You chopped a MKV GTI for 1 sprog?  :huh: 

Jeez, with 2 kids I'd still have kept it  :grin: 

With the next one, I think a 7 seater may be on the cards  :lipsrsealed: 
Passat B5.5 2.3 V5 170, with all the extras.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

I got 2 sprogs and a dog and we have a mk4gti and a scoobie, which will soon be replaced by a mk2 gti.
4 doors and a cup holder is all that yoo need for a family car.

Sold "our" campervan and bought the MKII with the proceeds. You can imagine how popular that was!
