now that's unfair

[dub be good to me]

Gutted.. was kinda hoping it'd last another 30yrs+ and beat the beetle!

P.S - Is it just me or does the grille on the latest Citi golf look slightly different? Looks to be on a different angle..

EDIT - Wait a minute... isn't it 35years? (1974 - 2009)!

According to the article, 25 years since the intro of Mk2 in '84 and the decision to keep producing Mk1's in Sth Efrica, man.

Sigh .... sheds a tear .... its actually been 31yrs of production at Uitenhage in South Africa ... 25yrs as the Citi Golf and 6yrs as the original Mk1 ..... its a sad day indeed ....

My family has had 4 mk1 golfs and about 10 Citi's all up ...... I'll go and have a quiet moment outside now ....
