Hello from N00B1E
Hello everyone,
I'm seriously thinking about a Mk 1 Cabby or GTi tin top as a second car/project car; so thought this would be a good place to start!
Already looked at a few in and around the Southampton area (where I'm from) - a bit cr*ppy so far, but I'm in no rush.
What are the auto boxes like in the Cabbys? Or should I steer clear and stick to a manual?
:dontknow:

Welcome! Auto boxes suit the non-injected Cabrios as a cruising machine. Cheaper to buy but higher fuel consumption.

On the Portsmouth side of Southampton (but with a Southampton post code LOL)
the auto cab sold before I made up my mind - kinda glad in a way, because although I'm not planning huge mileage I don't want something that's going to drink fuel!
