  • My Mexico Beige Mk1 GLD

    Ever since laying my eyes on this car when i used to ride to work everyday for 6 months
    i knew one day id own it
    After brief 2month stint with a 190hp a3 i realise that speed and new cars wasnt the thing for me
    So after selling the a3 i finally got my hands on my dream car
    Its perfect, i have no road rage any more, have no want to go fast(not that i have a choice )
    Seriously could not be happier with my new car

    The interior is in as good condition as as a mk1 can get, before anything happens i thought i may as well post some more pics up because i know how you all love a good mk1 thread

    first plans are wheels then some other bits and pieces, This is my daily driver and plan on owning it for a longer time than ive owned any other of the previous 11 cars
    Look forward to taking it down to Nats this year

            Thanks for the pics. I have only good memories and respect for the GLD I had. Don't have to go fast in these, yet you still felt good.
            Especially liked the way I covered huge distances and the fuel gauge hardy moved. Congrats on the purchase of a good clean car.

              Definately have travelled 170km and the needle still hasn't moved yet
              Hoping some one van point me in the right direction for a 5spd box

                Hear you there. A fifth would bring the revs down and make it more soothing on a long highway run. I suppose the german engineers thought four gears were enough with the torque. They did the same with the Porsche 930 Turbo (four spd box)

                    Apart from the car itself, the photography is awesome.
