It doesn't matter how you dress it up, I can't see a single reason to join to listen to the anal rants of all and sundry whom are all mechanics with 10 second cars!
looking through all you vast amount of posts and the quality of them I cant see one single reason why this club would want you as a member any way

addicted, can you explain why you think a Jetta is closer to a Golf than a Cabriolet? Would love to understand the rationale behind that gem…
Perhaps chronologically yes, but I can't think of anything else?
Shall we just stuff it and start talking about Sciroccos too? Just cos they share the same platform, doesn't make them the same car.

from memory and I'm sure someone will either quash it or confirm it
Jetta's like Cabbys start off as a mk1 golf shell, the cabby went off to Karman and had the work done there and became a cabby, whereas the jetta has the rabbit style front end with the different lights and wings but in jetta's you can see where the hatch has been chopped off and the boot grafted on..
So then, what about Caddy's they look the same???
Scirocco's dont actually look the same, but yes they ar eont he same platform too

The other thing I don't understand about the club is that excludes the mk1 Jetta but embraces the Cabriolet and the Caddy.. when in reality the Jetta is closer in origin to the Golf than either of the aforementioned..
Dont embrace the caddy yet, at the moment its just been Cabby's!!!

Construction methods aside though, surely the simple fact is that if it's badged as a golf, it's a golf?
I don't think anyone on the forums are anti-jetta or anti-caddy or anti-scirocco, the owners just tend not to come on here and post up a lot. There's a couple of caddy builds on the forum and nobody's gone all "torch and pitchforks" about it…
You can't cater for everything though…

The other differences, as Lawsy stated, is the front panel and wings and the rear seat.
Other than that it shares everything with the Mk1 Golf we all love so much and therefore probably more than the cabriolet.. other than, and I suspect this means more to some people, the badge on the rear..

I humbly apologise for being so crass in daring to mention badging, but it's kinda the point.
There aren't any exclusionary policies on the forum, there's nothing stopping jetta owners coming on and posting questions that golf owners can probably help with.
In fact the consensus was, the last time this debate popped up with Caddies, that owners of other golf derivatives are more than welcome on the forum, though not on the club stand at shows. In fact they'd probably be warmly welcomed…
Just seems you're aiming your frustration at a general lack of resources for Jetta owners at this forum…

Back to the topic… what would make you part with ?15 to aid the sites running costs and event costs?

Ben started this thread to ask what it would take for us non members to fork out ?15 to join, my point here is that embracing the Jetta is something that could possibly entice me and others to join.
My previous point (earlier in this thread) still stands

Personally I wanted Jettas in when I suggested it, but it was not taken up.

A useful welcome pack with all the info needed for selecting, buying, owning a Mk1.
Maybe a get you home kit do's and don'ts.
Vouchers for all there always a winner, one lucky member/ winner a year ?150 voucher to one of companies you advertise.
Tester kits I believe their are some cheap tricks you can do with certain papers! Feel free to laugh at that one if I am Wrong.
Anythink that is cheap to buy bulk does not weight much and you can bung in welcome pack.
Also Home page should have a nice photo of what you get in the pack!
entice the monkey………..
