hi from glasgow!!

hi im andrew,im 24,i stay in glasgow and im looking at getting my first mk 1,just a couple of questions,how do they drive?heavy steering?is the power steering conversion easy?cheers

Hey Andrew!  Welcome to the site!

They drive awesome, part the brilliance is down to the feel you get from having no power steering.

The car is light (about 850kg) so power steering is only really noticeable when doing tight manouvers.

Good luck with your search.

First Scottish meet planned for the 22nd of July. Check it out

          TO THE No 1 GOLF MK1 SITE  HOPE YOUR SEARCH FOR YOUR FIRST MK1 TURNS UP A GOOD UN  AS FOR POWER STEERING THEY DON'T NEED IT HOPE TO SEE AT THE FIRST SCOTTISH MEET ON THE 22ND OF JULY    

Good man,

Welcome to the site…

Hope you fine a good car, there seems to still be a few out there.
I took the plunge 4 weeks ago & purchased a Mk1 & its the best decision I made in years….

I'm now find that when I nip out to get a pint of milk, I end up driving 20miles…

Forget the power steering, they drive better without.

If you've any questions regarding a Mk1 just post a thread, I've found that there are alot of helpful friendly people on this site.

im hoping to get one within the next month or so,i like the look of the one matt is selling in on this site and have cash saved up but i need 2 get rid of my astra coupe first as i dont have the space for 4 cars in my drive oh and i need 2 get a job aswell as i just got paid off!!but ill get one of them in a couple of days i hope :wink: oh and cheers for the welcome

Hello and welcome Andrew mate!

Where are u in Glasgow?

I lived in Southside till January when I moved to west coast.  I got my first mk1 yesterday, pictures to come soon ( i been cleaning her all day), but let me just say….do it man!

Enjoy your search.

"I'm now find that when I nip out to get a pint of milk, I end up driving 20miles…"

Man…that is so true i laughed until I cried.  I went to halfords to get some soap today…it's 10 minutes away, I was gone for over an hour.

p.s. we're having a wee meet in Stirling, if u wanna come see some Golfs and their owners?

You could come in the astra, or maybe I could give u a lift?

If you're interested, check out "Shall we have a wee meet" in the Regional Events section.

Cheers.
