    Euro trip

    Just got back from another quick trip to Europe,1 week in England and 1 week in Switzerland.Lots of Golf 3's and 4's but Corrados are getting a bit scarce now as they are to old by Euro standards.
    The Swiss Postal Service is now selling off their Yugoslav built Caddies.They are 90 to 93 models in yellow and with the fibreglass canopy on the back.Everyone that I looked at was in very good condition and not one with more than 110,000 Km's on it.
    The best part of them is they are right hand drive! This is probably the last chance to get an original Caddy, low k's,rhd,and probably pretty cheap.

    funny that, i just got back from germany (and abit of switzerland too) and i saw so many mk 2's around, they were literally everywhere!

    all the new VW passats and audi A4's are really comon in germany; they are the ones always flying past you on the autobahn doing 150+ km/h, actually, most of them are doing more like 200 kph; which of course, as many people know, adds alot more to the runnig cost of your car (petrol, tyre wear etc) and they all do it because, these passats and A4's (all wagons too) are company cars! if only we had autobahns in australia!

    ohh, and yes, VW are infact peoples cars, probably 2 in 5 cars is a VW in germany if not more! so yea, you guys would love it!

    VW: it aint just a car, its a way of life
    There are few things more satisfying in life than finding a solution to a problem and implementing it
