That will be me :congrats:
My grandads last (of a history of sorts cars) car before he passed was a 1.9Gti 205 :notworthy:
It's in my genes :evilgrin:

MY neighbour is 76 and loves his big quick cars (his last car was a Bentley continental GT), really hope i'm still alive at 76 let alone driving a modded golf :happy2:
He had a ferrari 5-6 years back but sold it when he had back trouble and could no longer get in it (or out of it) :happy2:
He has a v8 Range Rover now :happy2:

Our decorator drives a candy white GTI and he's in his 70's. He loves it but for him it's a real tool. It continuously has a roof rack on it and is covered in paint inside. He's always talking about GTIs to me.

I disagree, the beauty of a Golf is it's versatility. The fact it packs a bit of performance is just a bonus. I don't think they should be treated like sacred objects!

I was never into cars growing up, but the only car I ever wanted was a Golf.
A guy in my street had a detached house with a quadruple garage and yard - was always filled with VeeDubs, so I'd wake up on weekends as a kid to the roar of a Beetle, campervan or Golf engine. The street would be lined with VW's...always. Tragically and ironically he died in his campervan in the 90s after leaving his portable gas heater on.
I believe the Golf is a tool that should be used - I love mine but it has car park dents, stonechips to the paint and scrapes on the interior.
I also agree with what others have stated recently, that you strike up some sort of bond with a Golf - maybe because of its history? I have never treated mine as an investment but something that I'm going to make full use and convenience out of.
What's the saying - a Golf is a car driven by both the professor and the student?

Id have given the map for free if i had been Mr APR. :happy2:

I can trump that, we have a customer that drives a Clio 182 cup that we have fitted a milltek system and a map, he's 82!
We call him old stig.

WOW ! Makes me feel like a real youngster. I expect I may be still driving my throbbin' red Mk5 GTI when I'm 76.
Is it just me who thinks he reminds you of a Meerkat?

Top marks!
