Two things made me really passionate about Volkswagens,

1) The fact that in the 1970's my grandfather had a white beetle....those ones with the rear mounted air-cooled 1600cc engines
2)Chacha showing me the ad for the GTI in the TIME magazine....this was way back when TIME did not have the asian edition........I was just amazed......

In time when I could afford it I got myself a used VW Jetta.....my first ever car...sure miss it now......but then I wanted to move on...or rather move up....the automatic transmission just did not go well with me.......and then I heard about the .:R32.....

Sure I had the option of going in for a Mitsubishi EVO or a Subaru WRX Sti......I even test drove the Subaru.....but with the .:R32 it was love at first sight (and then drive)........

Just today I came across this article which gets across the emotions of a Volkswagen enthusiast.........read on.....
