Nice,were the earlier cars in South Africa ???

Mark 1 Golf & Jetta (lived there) and the 95 VR6s (in Oz) were SA built. Not me in Newmarket. City to Laidley (Lockyer Valley) via Ipswich Parkway and Warrego (Acne Highway - because of all the pockmarks on it) is the usual route.

Yes,those cars sounded very South African to me..lol.
