1988 VW Golf GTI 16v
Okay, did I mention that Volkswagens are addictive? VW owners are definitely a different breed of driver. Maybe some of them move to different cars, but they always have a special place for the 'dubs. Anyway, I seem to have caught the "bug" so to speak and I bought another VW (this was while I still owned the Passat). It's a 1988 Golf GTI 16v. Unfortunately I had to sell this car recently in order to use the funds towards the purchase of a home, but fret not, as it has been placed in a good VW-loving home. It was equipped as follows during my ownership:
