I used to be a die-hard Bug fan who never wanted a Golf.

I "apologize" for helping to get you hooked. :-)

S'okay. :-) I even thought about getting a winter beater
to protect the GTI from the elements. But then I bought the
GTI as a winter beater to protect the airhowlers from the
elements, so I gave up on this project.

Especially so because history has taught me that winter
beaters can and do become cars I feel affectionate about.
If it can happen with an A2 Golf, which here in Germany is
about the prototypical boring normal old car, then it can
happen with anything. ;-) And I don't really need a, say,
Skoda Octavia or Citroen Xantia to feel affection for too.
The Golf needs enough of it as is. (As in, "whew that repair
sure took a lot of affection out of my bank account."

Cars do tend to have a lot of affection for bank accounts.

That'll be interesting... probably worth it in 10 years when you get
around to it. :-)

Next Veteranen Treffen in Bad Camberg due in 2007. If not that one,
then the one in 2011 - for the Golf, not the Bug. :-)
