First post as I have just placed my order (although I owned a Mk 1 for 13 years and a Mk 5 for 5 years).  Thought you may like to view the following video to see a Spanish tester enjoying himself.

If you click on subtitles (bottom right) and choose your language you will get some very interesting translations.   :grin:
