I grew up around cars, but luckily I didn't get sucked in to my dad's fetish for English cars (oh god...).
When I turned 17 I figured it was about time for a car (since I would START working on my drivers license in about a year ).
Found a 205 1.9GTI in discoball blue with a huge whale-tail and fell in love with it. Luckily, my dad made an intervention and got me a 200 guilder (100 euro) 1978 Scirocco GT... Nice car, but never really realised that back then. Even had the Recaro's with spiderwebbing in the headrests, NICE! Sold it three weeks later and bought a Mk2 GTI 16V. Oh dear.....
