A man after my own heart. First car was a 205 GTI 1.6, then a 306 GTI6 (what a car that was!!! Still miss it now!) and then onto a 205 GTI 1.9.
One of my fondest memories was starting work at 6am with me and a Golf GTI "spirited driving" (on private roads of course) for an absolute age, him getting past on the straights and me getting back on the roundabouts.
