I imagine it puts it in perspective for you when you see how lucky you are. 
Don't be such a girl, get a MK3 Golf 16v, just look out for the common faults, plenty of resources on here to make sure you know what you're looking for too, plus, you won't find a forum as homely as this one. 
Well I don't know about that, you chaps have a lot of competition from the S2Forum fellas

I will in all probability be getting a mk3 GTI don't you worry about that - anything's better than my Polo FSI and all 6 of it's horsepower

Plus I need to keep my VAG loyalty and I need something a little older to have some cash left over from selling the Polo - as mentioned in my other thread it'll help to justify it to mother when she shouts at me for getting a fourth car in less than two years.
Not that I should care! I'm a grown man, mother I can do what I want!
