Having just celebrated the new year, it’s difficult to believe that January is almost over now. It seems very true that as you get older, time flies faster – which is a good thing as far as we’re concerned as the VW show season starts even sooner!
We love the VW Mk1 Golf for its purity. Not so good is the fact that its still sharp looking body is more susceptible to rust than its Mk2 successor.
