Had the golf since 2002, always wanted a GTI, just never happened! Before that, Dad had the golf since 1989, when i was 4yrs, used to go to primary school in that car! Still used daily/every other day.

Nope - I joined up when my mk3 8v GTi (GTi used loosely on the 8v) had cutting out issues. As soon as a VR6 came up it was gone!  :grin:

Joined with a Mk2 1.8 GL, been through 2x Mk3s, another Mk2, 2x Polos, a terrible Alfa (my only non-VAG), an Audi A4 and now on a Skoda Octavia (based on the Mk5 chassis), which has been pretty reliable so far.
But I've been a member for quite a long time.  :whistle:

No, my Mk5 went after 3 years.  I never really liked the chubby looks.  Plus one of my staff got an S3.

Just about to put it up for sale. Absolutely love it, but need something a little more sensible. Will be sad to see it go!
