Ello everybody!
I'm a UK (North London) dub owner (have a gander at http://www.ClubGTI.com ) , just
wasting time in an internet cafe, thought i'd see if there was a Aus VW scene, i've been struggling to see them between all the hordes of modified
Rice.
My 'beast' if you can call it that, is a 1983 1.8 Mk1 Golf GTI (Mars Red).

Shame I missed the meet, would have been a good craic. Need to cultivate some links in Germany to get some good stuff...having said that a mate of
mine back home now has about 5 mk1s and counting so can always exchange bits for beer money!
to be honest I have never been to any aircooled shows in the UK, only water cooled big meets. Some Lads I know have just set up a new 'club' to
arrange meets in and around London, they managed to do the first meet as a big photoshoot and convoy around the cheesy sights right in the centre.
Have now seen a few 5-door swallowtales so i'm happy.
Now movin on up, am in Byron Bay till tomorrow then up to Surfers
have a good un....I know I am
