Mk1s in West Sussex

Three main ones I spot are:

- the white, lightly modded 1300 Driver always around the COOP in Durrington,
- the very tidy red GTI around Littlehampton
- a metallic blue 4 dr GX(?) around the Goring area.

Any of these you? I drive the tatty faded green thing in the little picture and occasionally wave (if I'm not too busy messing around with the choke to try and get it running right).

Be interesting to know if anyone else comes on here..

Is that metallic blue one a series one?

Theres one I see in Worthing, blue with beige seats. lovely colours.

Not seen yours? I rarely go east of Worthing in mine!

Hiya m8 im in an around your neck of the woods Bognor in fact dont see many mk1s round here know of bens cab jus down road from me who be spoonin in his 20v as we speak and 1 in chichester

DUB76 - I've seen your car on the seafront in Brighton over the summer. Very very nice indeed! What engine you got in yours by the way?

I don't think the metallic Blue one is a series one, but will double check. Does have those nice beige seats.

Mine is always driving along the coast between Brighton and Littlehampton areas. I live in Lancing. Tallpete, what colour is your GTI? I'll keep a look out.

Also saw a nice Brown Cabbie out in Worthing last night. On a B plate..Anyones's?

Maybe there are enough of us to do a South Coast meet at some point?

see you arond m8 D

yeah ive seen that snot green car in bognor ah thatl be u dean lol  

Am I the snot green one or is that Dub76??! Think we both fit the description and both likely to be in Bognor… Was it shiny snot (Dub76) or dull and patchy (me!)?

Thanks for the Club GTI link Dub76. Interested in the local specialist. Do you know JMR in Rustington, and are they any good (and not too expensive!)? Not getting any time to work on mine and a bit worried about getting the head off and having it stuck on my drive…Any other good mechanics in the area would be appreciated.

Just seen a red cab on the back on a transporter in Brighton, plus a 4-dr none GTI with a white wing on the seafront. Don't think the red cab was Ben's though judging by the wheels. Either of them on here?

Did anyone else spot the two cabbies on the back of a transporter over the past month or so, parked up next to the BP garage on the seafront just East of Worthing. First a metallic blue, then a yellow one. Both looked tidy enough, but sat there for a fortnight or so, then disappeared.

Think that's enough for now! Laters,

I stuck a note on the yellow cab that was on the back of the trailer. It was a series one and it was a basket case.

I wanted the wheels, they were some flaky allycats.

Ever noticed that transporter doesn't have a company phone no. on? How weird is that.

Peter.

Mk1 golf gti campaign mars red ?800 chichester nice been sta in a garage fot 2 years leather interior anyone interested

Peter - I assume the yellow cab owner did not call you back. I obviously didn't look closely enough as well - just drove past.  Is weird that the transporter does not have a phone number on.  Hope they did not get banger raced - tho cabs seem a bit of a weird choice for that.

Ben - the campaign with leather sounds v interesting, but unfortunately I'm strapped for cash atm and have three cars to get back on the road before I take another on. Particularly gutting as I do have a garage in Littlehampton sat empty at the moment, just waiting for another MK1…

Speak soon,

h

Mate you need to sort the empty garage out for starters thats not good
ive only got 1 garage and i cant get in it at the moment for 20vt crap laying around ebrywhere

if you ever need a good mechanic give me a shout looking at doing vws as a full time job in the new year
