The mk5 golf will become the workhorse. I have my other car for weekend kicks !

You do get about fella ! how come you ended up in Germany?
I've been to Stuttgart a few times with work this year. I am a big fan of Germany. The Meilenwerk in Boeblingen is worth a visit for any car nut.
Long story short.... I am swedish, moved to Colchester in -96 and onto Cologne in 2010. Saw the 780 first time in 1985 and swore I would, eventually, buy one. Have one since 2009 which was 1 of only 2 in the UK when it was regged there. So despite driving a german, I do keep my Volvo genes alive with that

The Meilenwerk in Stuttgart is very nice and actually the last one they built. The other sites are in Berlin and Dusseldorf. Both worth a look for, as you say, car nuts.

What other car do you have?
