Welcome

If you haven't already, I would join www.scottishvag.net aswell as there are meets all over Scotland organised on there. There are quite a few mk1 owners on there including me.

There are also meets organised on here in Scotland. Check out the regions section http://www.vwgolfmk1.org.uk/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=5


Theres a classic car show this weekend at Glamis castle. Im going tomorrow

Hi

Thanks for the information . i tried to show the car at Glamis castle ,but they said the car was to young 1983 , a bit dissapointing ,are you showing your motor there , all going well i should be going to knockhill on the 19th with the car "classic car event" but still waiting for a reply from them as well to display the car & get in for ?5

baz

Hmm, I didnt realise that would be too young. I wasnt planning showing mine but Im taking it tomorrow. I dont know if my '80 would be accepted anyway. Are you going to glamis tomorrow?

Im going to knockhill on the 19th aswell. I might try and display mine too. Would be good to get a few mk1's on show

Do you have any pictures of yor car? Would be good to see it.

did you buy USK?? there is a svag meet in inverness on the 4th august. forres theme day on the 19th july, i have my mk1 booked in there. cheers

Hi

Yes i did buy USK ( delighted with the car ) goes well
Where is the svag meet on the 4th ? All going well i will go
Who is the contact for thr forres event? did look on Web but though it was for vintage cars only ?

Thanks
Baz

Baz,

I'm up in 'Sneck (well, Culloden) -I've seen quite a few mk1's and cabriolets recently.  I've got a blue / grey mk 1 Caddy in case you've seen that about.

You may have missed out on the Tain classic show a couple of weekends ago -there must have been 6 or 7 mk1's at that.  All very tidy -one red cabriolet was featured in the PnJ just a couple of weeks before.

If anyone's doing anything up there let us know although I'm working in Aberdeen during the week for the next 2 months or so.

HI
RST
Was at the Tain classic car show & it was brill to see golf mk1s .The show was the link to the Purchase of my Mk1

It would be great to get few Mk1s together & take them for a run to maybe ullapool or even applecross before the end of the summer.
I am on the reserve list for this years La crofterra

Looks mint in the pics

I wish I knew about the Tain show

mine was the white mk1 at tain, ill get you the forres number, its in grant park this sunday, you can follow me if you like and you will get in as a late entry its ?6 there will be 3 other mk1s G83 on here has the red sportline which was at tain.cheers

hi

i take it when you sat in mine confirmed you were buying one then??

Basically yes

All good with USK so far . after 4 years of browsing ebay at the MK1s i thought i better commit before i drive mysel crazy.
Glad i did ( the cars a pocket rocket )

i am thinking about putting the standard alloys back on the car (8 spoke) .think it might improve the way the car feels on the road !!!!its currently running on 205/15/45

aye deffo put 9 spokes back on i have a black Y reg one and i put 9 spokes on it as they suit em in black. 8)

tain was a good day,nice & hot for getting the roof down for the whole day 8)  

i saw the black mk1 for sale,very nice,hope you enjoy.

you going to forres?cheers

Hi
cant make forres - i am working all day sunday
probably take the Mk1 to work - roads are empty at 6am

Baz I didn't see you on Sunday morning did I?  I caught a black mk1 out the corner of my eye going round the Longman roundabout.  I was heading north for Evanton, the mk1 I saw was heading south on the A9?

na
wasnt me on sunday ( wonder who it was )
using the car most days at the moment though , much more fun to drive than my mk4 tdi 150 - the 1980s radio cassette & speakers have no bass un sounds a bit poor, but i am not changing it , the brakes need a good right foot as well .
cheers
