The Mk1 Golf Owners&#039; Club Team

Club Chairman chairman@vwgolfmk1.org.uk	Username: 36thcrazyfist Name: Simon Berry Location: Manchester Role To over see all meetings and have the casting vote in the event of a tied vote About My name's Simon, or '36thcrazyfist' on the forum, the name 36thcrazyfist comes from a band called '36 Crazyfists' who I loved when I was younger and still listen to now, I've seen them more times than I remember and even had a few beers with the guys. I joined the club in 2006 after I bought my 'sportline' - the quotes are because it's actually a replica, as it's on a D plate. This was pointed out by you lot quite quickly and since then it's affectionately been known as the 'fakeline'. I believe it was stolen back in 2006, bought by a company, where everything was transferred into an existing shell. I have owned the car for such a long time that I don't intend to part with it, back in Feb 2016 I took the plunge and started stripping him down (he's called Dudley by the way) and found a lot of rust…. I'm tinkering with it when I can, but I'm in no real rush to get it back on the road, but when it does, it'll be a different colour and have a 130 BHP PD TDi up front and some fancy pants interior (and I'll be a lot skinnier than I already am because I think I'll be starving myself to fund it!) If you're interested my build thread is here: View Topic: Project: and #DudleywantstheD - The Mk1 Golf Owners Club I currently live in Manchester, originally from Coventry, did a 5 year stint in London, I get itchy feet I think. I'm a Digital Analyst for a FTSE 250 company, with a background in web development, photographic science and a bit of engineering, makes me sound serious but I really only am when I have to be. I have a huge passion for the MK1 Golf, always have and I think I always will, there's just something about them that's made me always want one, which is why I do what I do for the club - I'm a friendly chap, so if you see me at a show come and say hello, I'm the lanky fella with the curly moustache and the silly beard.

Club Treasurer treasurer@vwgolfmk1.org.uk	Username: unityneil Name: Neil Butler Location: Nuneaton Role Manage and approve financial matters with regards to the club's costs and income About I've been into car modding since I learned to drive. My car has always given me a sense of freedom. I've owned cars in a number of scenes (Sound Off, Minitruck, Lowrider, Classic Custom) and now VW. BRO is my 1982 Bentley Gunmetal 3 door non sunroof bought in 2014 and restored and modded since then. BRO started life as a 1.1C and has had many upgrades including a 1..4 16v AFH and Bike carbs and latterly a 1.8T conversion. I try to perform the modifications myself where possible and have a pretty good understanding of Air suspension systems. I'm self-employed working in IT. The Mk1 Golf OC is the best and friendliest club I've ever been part of (and I've been in quite a few). I love the way that we can bring our daughter along to shows knowing that she will enjoy herself as much as I do.

Sadly I wrote that car off shortly after I passed my test. Since then I have owned over 30 Mk1s, 6 Mk2s, a Mk3, 2 Beetles, a Corrado and a T4. I currently own 9 Mk1s and my main interest is in the early cars particularly the GTi of course. I have been a Club Member since its inception in 2004 (prior to that the Club was "just" a basic internet forum called the "Campaign Register" concentrating on that run out model), and still remember our first "AGM" in Gaydon where we set out what the Club would be about. I took over as Chairman in 2007 from our founding member for over a year and in 2008 at Billing started what we now have as our traditional AGM weekend format. I am a regular at our regional Milton Keynes meet so if you are local come along and say hi or if you have any general questions about the Club you can email me.

Merchandise Manager merchandise@vwgolfmk1.org.uk	Username: Anton_cabrio Name: Anthony Musskett Location: Bedford Role Development and sales of Club Merchandise About My name is Anthony and I joined the club in 2016 after I bought my 1990 cabby. My cabby was a barn find that had been neglected for over 5 years so I rescued her and polished some life back into the old girl. It is an ongoing project when funds allow it to be and has come quite far in the last 3 years. Unfortunately for me the main things left for me to do is replace the roof and get a full respray but I will get there eventually. I am a floor layer by trade and live in Dunstable but my true love is modifying cars, I really cant leave anything I own standard (including my work van). Any spare time I get is usually spent cleaning one of the motors on the drive, could quite happily spend the day out on the drive polishing up the paintwork. I'm in a band called Blu Munki ( hit us up you never know you might like it) I am the drummer and have been playing the drums since I was 5 and absolutely love it. I enjoy going to car shows and meets but don't really get to enough of them so I'm hoping being part of the mk1 team will get me to more shows and involved with the car scene.
