The Golf+ Magazine 2011 Awards were published in March 2012. The Mk1 Golf Owners Club website was voted based national VW Forum. The quote 'for being an all round nice place to be' was well deserved we feel as a lot of work goes into keeping the site friendly and clean - a concept true to the original idea when it was set up.
Like the car - you can't spoil a good idea!!!!!!
