Had my T4 while the my wifes golf got chopped in for the A3 with the intention I would get rid of the Volvo later and keep the A3 while she got her company car.

As it turned out we got rid of the Audi first for the BMW and kept the Volvo on until her new Golf company car turned up a couple of months later.

I then went to an unreliable 8L S3 (need to find pic(s)) for a short time before buying the 3.2 S-Line - rubbish pics as it currently stands (subject to conversional change!):

Before my S3 I had (in order going backwards):

Mk 4 Golf GTI 25th Anniversary 180bhp in Reflex Silver
Mk 4 Golf GTI 150bhp (not a patch on the Anni !)
Honda Accord 1.8 Sport (for 18 months and forced on me due to work - definitely not my choice lol)
Mk 2 Golf GTI 16V
Mk 1 Golf 1.6 GLS
Mk 1 Golf 1.1N (my 1st car)

As you can see, I've been a bit of a Dubber until now but still VAG!
