ive joined the club in September 2018, but this would be my first real post …
Anyways, the reason for my awakening ?
just read the history of the club, and the car ,and cant help but feeling a little nostalgic … See this cars been in the family for 12 years now and … Wow …
You hear many stories about reliability this, and reliability that ,but overall reliabilty ? That belongs to the mk 1 … My time with it has been a interesting one .. The odd hickup, NO major breakdowns , but always coming out the other end, rolling on …
The advice here is A+ , and I would just like to thank everyone for their hard work, in maintaining the tradition ,that is the mk1..
Thanks to the original 6 … You guys rock … And thank you , stock standard, all white 2003 mk1 citi , for the faith youve shown in me ….
Peace …. IMG_20181006_151951.jpg

Welcome!
It's great that you have decided to become active on the forum and share your Mk1.
Any future plans for the Citi?

Hi
Thanks …
And to answer your question ? Well, until the minister of finance (my wife) sqeezes me into the budget , no …
As ive said … Twelves years and still going strong, in standard guise, so why fiddle ?
The designs timeless, engines reliable, so the cars gonna have to start falling apart, before I budge .

Welcome along.

I have to ask, am I right in thinking these are a 1400 small block injection engined car?

Looks to have been well looked after. Hows the interior?

Welcome and I like the citi golfs.
The reason why there’s a crease at the upper quarters compared to the other golfs is because when the body panels were being stamped the press was misaligned.
