I've always wanted one but could never afford the one one I wanted, if you get me!
Instead I bought an XR2 and the an R5 GTX, never getting round to the Mk1.
It wasn't really love until I actually owned my first one. Then and only then could I say I fell in love.
There's something about it that you just can't put your finger on, unfortunately the same goes for the Mrs these days!

It wasnt until I saw a convertible and at a age when I could half realisticly get one.
Remember the day when saw the ad and went to see the car. The feeling when the guy opened the garage doors was a 'wow, this is actually real, im going to own this car' feeling

I was 13 walking home from school and i saw a mk1 'hoon' it round a round about sounded amazing!! and it was racing and beating an escort cosworth.
That was the moment when I though for get all those air cooled slowies and I wanted a mk1 golf I saved from that day till I was 17 and bought a Red mk1 golf was a beast unfortunatly it used more oil than it did fuel. lol So i sold it and bought a clipper, Sold that and bought a Rivage Reck! It aint a reck any more I would put a picture but I have no idea how you guys put them in a convo!!??(can anyone tell me?)
Any way I have never had any other car! I have however drove other cars as my dad own a crap yard!! And in all the years my dad has owned it I have never seen a mk1 golf in there…..NEVER!!! Now that says alot about mk1 golf!!

when i was 16, in my first job, was there for a few months when a new lad started at the same company, the owner of the purpley blue mk1 and was selling it, obviously at 16 i had no way of buying it but about 18 months later he bought it back from the girl he sold it to, kept it for a year and put it up for sale again, then it was mine
so its safe to say i bought the mk1 that made me love mk1's, back then i wouldnt have had any other mk1 golf so im glad he put it up for sale the second time when i was in a position to buy it as i was looking at mk1 escorts at the time

OMG I seriously love my golf, but I could never have traded in a fastback for one!! I'm glad you feel you did the right thing though! For me the aircooled would be the priority (says he with the beetle that's been off the road for 5 years!!) and I dream of one day adding a fastback to my fleet 'cos aside from the beetle they are my favourite aircooled VW.

Here it is looking its best. Which wasn't exactly that good! Still wouldn't mind it back though.

I'd love another GTI MK1 now, but funds are far too tight to get one and keep it on the road.. so I'd probably get a 1.3 or 1.5 as a cheap run a round - tinkering toy if i find one at right money..
