| a used Volkswagen Polo with my boyfriend, which we | | | | main present was a bit silly, but still perfect for a VW |
| bought a few months ago at a used VW dealership. It | | | | fan such as himself – special mats and other bits |
| was a well thought-through purchase, as we had been | | | | and pieces to go in his car. They were Volkswagen |
| hunting for months to find the perfect car. One day my | | | | branded, and I have to say they made the car look |
| boyfriend wants to own a VW Golf all by himself, but | | | | much smarter whenever you get in. Most people |
| at the moment a Polo meets his needs and manages | | | | would think this was a terrible present or just a bit silly, |
| to make him happy. You see, he has always been | | | | but he really loves them and I think it has made him |
| slightly obsessed with the Volkswagen brand, and as | | | | realise that his old used Polo is just a miniature Golf |
| such owning one of their smart little hatchbacks with | | | | and will do him perfectly well for the meantime. |
| their great engines is a little like a dream come true! | | | | Of course, this doesn’t stop a proper VW Golf |
| For his Birthday last November, therefore, I decided to | | | | obsessive from searching the used and new car sites |
| treat him to a day out. It wasn’t his whole | | | | online to see if any interesting models come up with |
| present (I’d never have been forgiven for that!) | | | | unusual engines. We found a properly pimped up one |
| with a trip to a car show in the area that featured lots | | | | last year in a remote dealership, it was a little silly but |
| of vintage VW Beetles. They were all lined up | | | | some of the professional customisations were very |
| seemingly for miles, some in a terrible state of disrepair | | | | much jealousy inducing! I think the sound system |
| and some practically gleaming. I have to say that it | | | | someone had installed in another model was exactly |
| made his day, especially as he got to take one of the | | | | what my boyfriend has always dreamed of! Thankfully |
| reconditioned models (which apparently drove like it | | | | he is pretty realistic about whether or not he will ever |
| was brand new and had never been used) off around | | | | actually have a car with all those expensive additions - |
| their little makeshift rally track. It took me a hue number | | | | and so far it seems that he will be happy with his |
| of phone calls and emails to arrange it, so I was so | | | | smart little Polo now and a decent quality |
| glad it went well! | | | | high-performance Golf GTI a few years down the line. |
| When the day was over, he just wouldn’t stop | | | | Some that is the story of a complete VW obsessive, |
| going on and on about the day, despite the fact that it | | | | and massive fan of the brand! He is madly in love and |
| wasn’t really the main part of his present. His | | | | it isn’t likely to stop any time soon! |
