Your (or your parents') money would be better spent on an English tutor.

I assumed as much, but my comment still stands. In Australia, poor written and spoken English is a major problem not only for migrants, but for so-called native speakers. You'll get much further in life in Australia with a solid grasp of English, even assuming your future potential employer is unprejudiced.

And although I must admit I'm a little jealous of your new toy, I question the wisdom of your parents providing such an expensive and powerful car to somebody so young. Road experience can only be learnt, and until you have more experience, learning is best done in a car that couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding. Very difficult to get into trouble in something like that. Furthermore, until you truly know the value of hard work hard, you can't fully appreciate your possessions if they are handed to you on a silver platter. Learnt early, these lessons will stay with you for life.

End statement.

wow - where do I start.. patronize much?
Half his luck I say - I wish my parents could have done the same for me when I was young.. and as for your English language comments ... well, I'll just leave those for now..

Back on topic - bought my first golf (103tdi) at 44 years of age


Great little car - delighted.

I agree with you but a bit harsh on your part I think. Let me put it this way - are you multilingual? If you are not, you wouldn't understand that it is not easy to pick up a second language once you are an adult.

Peace!

No, I'm not multilingual, I can barely handle one language. As for harsh... perhaps.... but time and time again I see very poor attempts at written English on forums and blogs, making it very difficult for other members to understand. Adrian drew the short end of the stick, I fear. However, if you read my post, I do not single out non-native speakers.

The main point of my "condescending" post was questioning the wisdom of parents giving such expensive gifts to adult children. Since Adrian responded to my needling in such a friendly manner instead of attacking the temerity of my comments, this goes some way to proving his parents must be doing a pretty good job on other fronts.
