I drove Exeter to Penzance and back last week and hardly saw any mk5s of note despite doing a fair few miles around the Penwith area where there's often a few decent veedubs.
The only half decent one I saw was whilst emerging from the bogs at Marazion I glanced at an R32, and the lady in it regarded me with the same look as she would normally reserve for something that emerges from the back of her large dog. Story of my life!!!
