well lets see, As far back as I can remember. My Dad always had Audi's. till around 12 years ago. Now drives Japanese cars. Changes way to often.
With my Mum, she started with a MK2 Jetta, then off to another MK2 Jetta. Then to a MK3 Jetta 16v. Moved over to New Zealand with my Parent. Both my Parents no drive japanese.

All 6 of my Uncles always drove, Beetles, Split screen kombi's or later model Kombi's and most now drive golf or Audi's. My Aunt even one a brand new mk1 golf back in November 2009.
Yes brand new MK1 Production date June 2009. South Africa officially stopped VW Golf mk1 production November of 2009.

Since I could drive, I have already gone thru, 2x mk2 Jetta's (GTI 1800cc 16V and non), 2x mk VR6 golfs, 1x mk3 Jetta, 1 x MK4 GTI Golf, 1x MK5 Golf TDI, 1x MK5 Golf GTI. Soon to be possibly replaced with a mk4 Jetta (V6 4-Motion,6spd manual, supercharged)

My dad's always had the cheapest company cars he can get... A Skoda Octavia for the last 7 years... He's never been interested in cars... Nor has my mum, though she wanted a Seat Ibiza and bought a 6 month old one in 2002, which has now got just 30,000 miles on it...! None of my family are into any vehicles of any kind... Yet I've always loved motorbikes, got my licence a week after my 17th birthday, then 6 months later decided to get a car licence... I actually hated driving at first as I had to drive my mum's 1.2 Ibiza... but when I bought my mk4 Golf, I started to enjoy driving a bit more... Then when I bought my mk5 GTI I loved driving! Apparently my great grandfather loved cars and always had the latest sporty number...  :popcornsoda:

My grandma used to have a Polo back in the day, but my parents have had Ford Estates, Fords Estates and more Fords Estates when I was growing up  :sick:

Im the first one in the family to have a VW in 15 years!  :jumpmove:

Brilliant link ,  love the VW Model timeline , the Mk1 Polo is the same colour as my Dads old one - shame theres no English option , although I know enough German to get by.
