Loving the Golf, in white that’s got to be the ultimate Q-Car. One of my brother’s wrote his wife’s ( blue ) one off at Christmas. He spent 4 months looking for something as fast and practical, even when he added money to the insurance payout, looked at Macans, RS Audis , AMGs etc etc ended up with...
