soo excited to be here..!

hi everyone! i am now the proud owner of my first mk1, and im new to this internet thingy aswell, its all new to me so please be gentle!
 not totally sure what car i have, its an '87 cabby auto. its got gti badges on but i guess they have been added on ( its an auto so cant be a real gti?) the log book says GL and it has karmann badges on front wings, but maybe its a clipper?! has a previous owner stuck  random badges on it or does this make sense to someone? (photos will be coming when i figure it out, SO much to learn!
its done 85k and altho thiers no history with it, i think this is genuine, due to the almost mint condition of the interior. im the third keeper with the old guy i bought it of being the keeper for the last 15 yrs. the body work looks like it was permantly parked in a supermarket car park! (lots of little door bangs) but no rust.
it runs like a dream and had full mot, no tax tho. it was a total impulse buy, im a mechanic/used car novice but :dontknow:
i thought it was a major bargain.  
 
im from the sheffield area, and regulary see other owners out and about, and now ive joined the club!
ive had a look round the site and there is some stunning cars,( for what its worth i love the two tone marmite car!) all of you must be very proud of your achievments, and i cant wait to have that same feeling!

again im totally starting from scratch so please be patient, but not afraid to point out if i ask some thing daft!

 cheers
