Welcome to the site! Good luck finding a MKIII! It might help if you let everybody know what will suit you in an MKIII. If you are gonna want it turbo sooner or later, my advise is SOONER. Don't get an N/A, and then have to figure out how to turbo it later. The price difference now is not that big, if you find a decent unmodified car. Then the modding is all the fun.
And for the rest of you.....It's the internet.......Most everybody here has some sort of "incedent" in their past. For all we know, he may have just gotten caught driving like we all do at times. Depending on location, the fines could have gotten pretty steep. Or, Hell, he could be an axe murderer.......but so could you!
