* still in denail *

But there's this conspiracy theory that kept me going when in primairy (elementary?) school: that the Audi 80 and the VW Passat where actually the same car's, but that 'the world' liked it to be fooled by the automotive branch. They even renamed the Audi 80 twice: Santana, and later to Passat.. but really: it's the same car, can't you see, moron's! Same panels, doors and stuff, just that the Audi 80 didn't come in a 'stationwagon', didn't mean they wheren't the same. The Audi 50 give it away thought: that was exactly the same car as the Polo. Even I couldn't really tell where the difference was in. That's when it got clear to me, I'm living in the world of the ignorant, with people that just want to be fooled.

*but all this ofcourse in different words, as I was still in primairy On the other hand: there still was 'the cold war', the berlin wall; you could't say it wasn't the time that there could breed a 'mass-delusion-conspiracy-theory's' in a little boy's brain?

Wanted a Golf when I grew up though: local 'hero' (in my point of view) who drove a small taillight Golf. He, a hunter, with rifle's (no gun's) and stuff, used it to find (and catch) poachers. I decided I wanted such a car when I would get my drivers license, but (negative thoughts breeding anyway) I predicted that they wouldn't last another 11 or 12 years: Car's didn't get older then 8 maybe 10 years at that time... so there probably wouldn't be a Golf left in 1995 (when I would get my drivers license)..

In 1999 I finally bought my (our?) first car, being a Polo.
