Hiya

Hiya, you'll probably get sick of saying hello, but im new.
Looking for a mk1, absolutley love them  8)

Fancy hooking up for a drink somtime  :pray:

Im from Yorkshire, im 20, female obviously, and ive got a strange obsession with VW's    I think its my dads influence. Ive had a mk1 before but it smelt of petrol and was falling apart a bit.

i'm 21 vw mad also, once had a 79' that stunk of petrol too :wink:
so with got alot in common i see
how much you looking to spend my lass :wink:

if you 2 ever get together and get married please use the following mk1 limo on the wedding day      

Oi! Do i not get any props for showing u this forum?! tssh!

the right place for advice n stuff on mk1's!

My golf used to smell of petrol, and sometimes still does, but i like it!

yeah thanks chaps

Yay another 20yr old! I'm not the only kid on there then!! 8O

   

Welcome!

Hiya vwlass! I'm a lass in her early 20's too! And my dad got me into mk1's aswell. Good luck with the search, you're in the right place! Keep an eye out in the For Sale section  :wink:

hello there.

i think i am one of the youngest mk1 gti owners on here at the tender (and very impressionable) age of 18.  ops:

I pride myself in the knowledge that I will be preserving my (imo) immaculate specimen.  Hope you are not a "slam on 20' spinners" youngster too.

I am 21

but nearly 22!

How did u manage to get insured on a gti at 18?!

Being one of the more mature contributors on this forum I have to say how pleasing it is to see so many young uns taking up 'Golf' and staying clear of the usual Corsa's, Saxo's etc. I always thought young people got brand new cars these days and wouldn't be seen dead in a 2nd hand one. It's good to see. Keep it up !    :clap:  :dance:  :cheer:

the exact same reason i bought a golf, cos the "normal" thing to do is buy a new / nearly new car…..After driving a 306 for three years i wanted something different, fun,  and that i can fix myself!

How did I get insured on a Gti at 18?  

Well, you see it wasnt that hard to be honest.  I am with admiral, for ?1200 TPFT.  I am very happy with this price, but to be honest, I am really worried that something is going to happen to my car and the insurers will give me market value (?500).

My car is immaculate, and it currently in for a full engine rebuild (i have had it 5 weeks and it has been in for 4 weeks   ) so should be worth about ?5000 in my opinion, but my policy is not an agreed value one.

Glad to hear that there are other young drivers out there who look to preserve the timeless classic of the mk1.  I am just a lucky one who can afford the gti, they are all mk1s.  

Andrew

haha, im younger than ya'all :mrgreen: just 17! 18 in a couple o months, ill try for a GTI. Andrew,its not a question of affording the car, its the insurance, i have no idea how u got it for that! :? my mk1 wee engined beasties cost more than that!

vwlass, good luck with the search, u live fairly close to me so ill give ya a shout if i see anything in the area :wink:

yeah, sorry that came out wrong, i meant to say that you have to have dedication and realise that you have to spend ALL your money on a Gti if you are really young.  Luckily I have always wanted one and so have all my savings to put towards mine.  I would be equally happy to have had a mk1 or any kind though.

VWlass, good luck with the hunt!

Regards, Andrew

i got an agreed value of ?4k on mine
