    I have been here since early 2006 when I bought a new Polo GTI (which incidentally was my 6th VW). 11 more VWs since then and currently have 8 in the family (TSI Amarok the oldest at 11 years of ownership since new) .... bit tragic really. But loving it, as I am always doing something on 1 of them.

    This past weekend, I did some work on my Golf R. Fitted alloy front control arms, an aluminium sump was fitted as well, upgraded (colder) NGK spark plugs went in along with a full service completed. It's still my favourite VW ever.

    I've been around a while, 19 or so years, but really slowed down since 2013 when I let go of all my MK1.

    This used to be a real big part of my life but things changed and it is not something I have time to spend on but appreciate everyone and have made some really good mates from here too.

    I joined in 2008.

    I had a 2003 V6 4Motion Bora at that stage. Sold that a few years later (2011 or so?), bought a MY09 4Gen Liberty GT Spec.B as the family grew and outgrew the Bora (ngl, I miss the Bora still).

    Last year I landed myself in an MY22 Audi A4 45TFSI Quattro. Looking at an S4 Avant now.

    Internet Forums seem to be dying, replaced by Facebook, Reddit, etc...
    Nothing to see here...

    I joined the forum in '06, just after buying my new Mk5 Golf in Dec '05 that I still own today. My first VW ownership was
    a 1958 beetle [The first with the big back window] that I purchased in late '61 for around 500 pounds.
    I will be 81 years in a few days time with still a strong interest in VAG cars & vans. I wonder if there is anyone older than
    me on here.
    Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.

    Still here, still generally playing with old clunkers.

    My bora (first car) that got me on the page only went to scrap 2 years ago.
    Partner has been through a 6n polo, CC Passat TDI and we had an Up! on loan for the better part of a year.
    Vento is still here, Mk4 wagon is currently our beach/grocery getter/around town car and I recently added a Touareg to the mix due to the KM I was doing for work.
