1989 Golf Gti 16v in Helious Blue with only 46k on clock. Should never have sold that car!!

Coxy, did you see the visitors post I left you?

I miss those early days, my first car. When I turned 17 dad "donated" the family Mk 1 Golf Diesel for my use, and to maintain, but not to own.
It didn't last, but I loved driving it, especially compared to Grandma's 1976 Chrysler Cordoba with the 318 Mopar engine and the locomotive suspension. It was cinamon metallic with orange velour interior, and when we got it 36K miles on it. Fast, Gas guzzliing disco-mobile.

lol! just read it!

last time I saw them was in 1985!!!
Not sure if seeing them now would be the same as it was over 20 years ago.
That said, I went to see Bauhaus in 2006 as it was one band I missed out on when I was going thru' the goth thing and they didn't disappoint at all!

Heh-now, heh now na now, sing this corrosion to me.

I love "Lucretia" as a song, still takes me elsewhere.

So here is a pic of a Cordoba very like the one in my last post, as well as the dreaded T-top ralley model.
