GTI

This is my gti from 1983, i newly bought it  

he he,nice to see another GTI ,looks very good  :clap:
greetings!

you had that since 83' mate?

Good on you for keeping it that long - still looks nice too, you looked after it!!!

No i just bought it, a month ago.  I have been looking for a golf mk-1 in good condition for a while, and when i found it i paid it and fly 1000 km to get it, to the very north of Sweden. The best is that in north of Sweden they don?t use salt on roads in winter which means the car is not destoyed of rust. I Have luck with this car…

Kul att en svensk till hittat hit Verkar vara en fin k?rra.

Yeayeyeyey nothing too secret just said that: fun that a fellow swede have her way to this remote corner .. looks like a fine car.

Cheers

Question: it's very cold there, I'm sure, so what is used on the roads there in winter?

PS: lovely car, congratulations on getting such a good one

The problem more south is that the weather conditions changes (below and above freezing point) and thaws the snow and then freezes up again creating a surface superb for ice skating but not for car driving . Up north the road condition is more stable and the only thing used there is sand and good winter tires (which is required in Sweden by law, at least when "winter road conditions" apply).

I'm still looking for a 1976 GTI registered on the 16th of august (my birthday) this for me would be the ultimate GTI
We could grow old together :roll:

Nice car by the way Karin and good to see them still around in other countries as well
