Wave!
I used to own a mk1 - well I've had 2 actually - YDU 720X & SMU 420Y. Currently I drive an 98 Scotia White Mitsubishi Evolution V RS…. fancy getting another mk1 someday

I think they have lost the plot - the Mk4 Polo is the same size as the Mk1 Golf…

the only thing 'original' is the red trim around half the grille!
still think they should reproduce the originals (Mk1 Golf, Mk1 Ford Escort etc.etc.) with a modern engine and electrics, never gonna happen though!

I agree, there'd be a stampede! Those lucky so & so's in South Africa get brand new mk1's with all modern interior & mod cons, but the with the unchanged mk1 body! :y: I'd love one of those! :mrgreen: Wonder what kind of nightmare it would be to own/insure an imported car (and get the thing shipped over!)? Right hand drive though…I've got the brochure and everything! :read:

Would love to turbo my gti but need it to be reliable.
Imagine a GTI with a turbo on aswell…I wouldn't know what'd hit me! Should my engine ever die before the bodywork, I'll wack a 1.9 turbo diesel in, but that's as good as I'll get with mine! Would probably kick arse though for a diesel considering the weight of the mk1s! I'm getting a balljoint replaced on my Golf today so I've borrowed a Peugeot 205 1.9 turbo diesel, and I must admit it's a bit of a pocket rocket, with the impressive mpg to boot. Now where's that shoehorn…

Annoyingly enough (as mk1's are extremely rare out here) I saw a black GTI on the A170 out of Scarborough (perhaps going all the way to York?) but I wasn't in my Golf so couldn't exactly wave! :doh: Never seen it before! Tourists eh!
Was it anyone on here? Very nice lookin Golf! :clap:
