Gunter on the grass...

These were taken by some good friends a few years ago.
Motorkhanas are a lot of fun and pretty easy on your car. They are pretty technical and require a good memory!

A couple more to bore you all

love it mate, great action shots and the car looks awesome!

[gtimk5]

Hey thanks Golfman. At the moment Gunter is missing a motor and gearbox. Sitting in my country shed covered in birdpoop. Must do something with it soon. Cheers mate

I cant quite believe that you would let a car that was once so pretty be covered in bird crap.. shame on you!

[gtimk5]

I know..... I need some motivation to get back into it. Even just get him on the road as a sorted road car. I was going to reshell him but time is a problem. Get him going for next years Bug In.
I was out doing things in him 20 weekends a year at least and these days I get very bored on the weekends. No preparation to do, nothing. Go on these drives (in the Mk5) they have down here.
Motivate me someone!

I've got plenty of 1.8 motor bits ,twin webers and manifold etc
Shouldn't be too hard to get 170 hp
and size 12 Blundstones to give you some extra motovation.

I am interested Golfwise, you know that. But the size 12 Blunnies? I probably need a good kick up the A to get motivated!!!
I have a car you are interested in, Do a deal??
Cheers mate

Domain Hillclimb is not far away.
Black 8v vs Green 8v

[GoLfMan]

Sounds like a great idea guys That way, we may see two racing Golfs out and about instead of none Drag him out from the shed and bring him back to life

Yeah I know Golfman, but Gunter isn't show material by any means! He's had over 6 years of everything being thrown against him (including guide posts and an out of control Lucaliar at Symmons) and he's looking a bit tired.
I built it up to protect my black Mk2 GTI door,(86gtis now) as its easier to repair or throw away than a later one. In that respect he well and truly exceeded my expectations! Will get him going again someday soon......

[gtigrl]

were those before or after you hit the post ...

[gtimk5]

Same year that we hit the 3 guide posts! About 3 months after. He was all fixed 4 days after out "off". Same with T boning the car at Symmons. Front wa shoved across a couple of inches. Stripped it on yhe monday after, sent it to be pulled straight. Golfwise kindly gave me a front panel that had been in a blackberry bush for about 6 years. Got that sandblasted, remounted it and painted it all up with new guards ect. Competed in a hillclimb 2 weeks later trying to defend my title. Didn,t win though.
Gunter, apart from a couple of times was a very low cost, low maintenance car. Over the whole time competing he owed me less than $30,000. Thats over 6 years of competition. To put that in perspective, I was talking to a local with a Porsche 930 last night who has spent $200,000 in two years!
I know he is in a different league to me but he has never beaten me in a hilllclimb yet. Will this year though, remember, no motor or gearbox!!!!! Cheers!
