You've now got both of the only Golfs I like. Jack and his mate had a White one last year which they did up for resale. Lovely car, real character to it.

I love the fact that when you had the mkV polo you had the mk3 polo
And now you've got the mkV Golf you've got a mk2 Golf too!!

Yeah as Tim said, most people tend to keep the old one for fun and run the newer more reliable one for a daily.

Its a good idea though alex, keeping the miles off the edition is only going to help it keeps it's value high.

So......RM's and ABF..?! ;-)
