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!!

Nice man, old and new is a good combo!

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..?!
