Mk6 just a fancy car??

Memories are priceless and aspirations essential. Without these you might as well be dead.

Glen, out of interest, what was your last car?

Technically it was a Fabia vRS that lost next to nothing over 3 years....but that was just a runabout.
The last 'good' car was a factory order Porsche 996 C4S with many options. (Speed Yellow, Aerokit, Lowered Chassis, GT3 wheels, Sports Exhaust, blah, blah..)
That bad boy cost me about £5 per mile over 5 years, all things considered.

But the memories are priceless...and I'd do it again.

If you can afford it then why the hell not! I'm pretty sure I would!

In my eyes a golf MK6 is a safe car that looks good and is built well versus it's rivals.

The price reflects the quality and strength of the car although they aint that expensive IMHO

just not painted that well 

 

My paints just fine ta love

Agreed for once  

I didn't "aspire" to a golf I just needed a car that was good on fuel, automatic and safe for day to day running around

This is why I like the car.  To a lot of people, people I don't want thinking I'm some sort of mad tearaway, it's a Golf.  To others, who understand these things, it's something else.

(On another forum, a MkIV owner described it as "that rocket sled Rolfe drives.")

I've been ferrying some friends around during the snow, thanks to the winter tyres, and it was "just a Golf".  Then the daughter of one of the friends was visiting when I picked her up.  Apparently my arrival caused major consternation, as in "Is that the person who's picking you up?  That is an amazing car."

It's all good clean fun.

Rolfe.

I don't aspire wrt cars but wrt my profession. I think this makes us slightly different for the present.
