I have just become the proud owner of a little VW Golf Clipper, whom I am naming, "Clive". Regrettably, the Queen was unavailable for the launch of this particular craft, but my wife and I have toasted the purchase with some pleasant bubbly (the bottle of which was not ceremoniously cracked against the prow).
I have a few pictures to upload. I shall post these shortly. The files might be a bit big, until such times as I learn to be more technocratic.
For now, I am looking for advice on what sort of cover to get for young Clive as I do not yet have the benefit of a garage. I am also going to invest in a Haynes manual. The only suitable one I can find is the manual for the golf and jetta to 1984, though this does not seem to encompass the convertible. I will check the forum in more detail to see if there is a bespoke manual for the Clipper but if anyone has any comments on the best manual to buy then I shall be grateful.
Incidentally, the pics to follow suggest to me that wee Clive has been de-clippered. I think the trim is more akin to the GTi model. I don't mind owning a clipped gelding if that is the case.
Cheers to all.
Wearra.

Nice to think that I haven't bought a total nail.
I checked out your links, chriswizz: good work there. I was most impressed by the golf interior - oh, and the wee dogs!

Ah, the West of Scotland, home of the midge and semi-permanent drizzle. Days like today make me wonder why I wanted a convertible. Perhaps we'll get a summer next year. Until then I'm investing in a rainmac for my Clive.
How's sunny Montrose, jonk?

The Haynes manual you mention is worth the investment and has a fair amount of info relevant to the cabby; searching this forum is (almost) always productive of course 8)
