1.8T mk3 AND a charged VR6 Jetta? You're living the dream mate  :grin: How is car ownership in New Zealand? Since both your cars are VRs I'm guessing tax and insurance rates are pretty good? You'd struggle to pay for one VR6 in Ireland  :grin:

Insurance is not compulsory over here so both cars are insured for less than 500 a year!!

Living the dream is pushing it a bit but yeah perry cool running cars over here is cheap as chips

Tax is virtually nothing as well and petrol is dirt cheap!

Looks like Australia or New Zealand are going on the 'places to seek employment after college' list  :grin:
