Length of ownership

Just curious!  How long have you owned your mk4?  Or for those no longer with a mk4, how long did you own it for?

For anyone who's has more than one, you can't put the total, just length of ownership of the one you had for the longest.

Just over a year, the longest I've ever owned a car for is 18 months and that was the Mk3. I'm getting bored of the Mk4 but can't afford/be arsed to change it at the moment.

I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...
