If you have a '91 reg Golf cab do you class that as MK1 (which I would as it's the old shape) or a MK2 which Vix thinks it should be classed as because of the year ?

Well, its definately a MK1. It seems odd but they made two cars at the same time, the MK2, and the MK1 Cab. They continued to make MK1 Cabs until H reg i think.
-
mk1 cabs ran all the way to 93L, past the 92J start of the mk3!
-
Just what I thought, mk1 vote for me then. Sorry Vix !
It was strange that they kept on different bodies for a number of years, but I'd buy a MK1 shape cab now if they still made them and I had the cash.
-
gibby, what i say in chat and what i say here are very different things. how often do u talk sense when ur drunk. ;)
Im just sticking up for the fact that my cars a rusty y reg and i think its unfair to compare it with a 10 year+ newer model sometimes. ::)
but when we talk about what cars we like I would say a mark 1 and black gti would as an example say a mark 3. there completely different shapes and we can as golf lovers identify with that.
I wanted an original mark 1, so when I was looking I would only look at cars older than '85. these imo are the original cabs. anything newer I consider in line with the mark 2 and therefore a 'not original' mark 1 cab. but a less rusty, shinier, better improved version of the original. 8)
i hope this makes sense without causing offence, im just old fashioned at the end of the day. :P
-
;DVixter, your cab is a mk1 (whatever bits it has on or when it was made) , they didnt make a mk2 cab, also did you know that mk4 cabs are actually mk3's tarted up to look like mk4's. Seems VW only produce a cab every 2 mks, this means we should get a mk5. ;D
-
the fact vw didnt make a mark 2 cab is the point im debating with gibby about. if vw had made a mark 2 gibby might well be driving it! :P
have a look at the mark 5 section for a picture of the new mark 5 cab concept thingy. ugly bugger in my opinion but then thats why i drive a mark 1 ;D
-
I wouldn't have wanted a mark 2 cab as I like the shape of the mark 1, always have, always will.
Next time on chat Vix, me and you are going drink for drink so we are on the same level ! Hic !
-
but what if vw had made a mark 2 cab. would it be as good looking as the hard top is?
It would be more modern than the mk 1 so would that have influenced u gibby? :P
-

U know me too well. :D
I think its what we were brought up with... mk3 Golf's were around when I was at school (and the the mk4 when I was at GCSE's but they were brand new and there was shed loads of mk3's around).
Im sure it was the mk1/2 for Vix as shes only a touch older than me (shes 21 i think ;) )
and older people will appreciate the original golf mk1 (before the GTI) ...
its all about age imo ... what u were brought up with.

thanks scott, I like to think im just 21 but the birth certificate just dont lie. ::)
I dont think it is about age. I grew up admiring beetles and campers but im not that flippin old! I think with me its about making an old car look nice. I think the older cars have more character and I like things that are less common, they more likely to be admired and talked about then. 8)
while driving home today I actually counted more mark 2s then mark 3s which I thought was kinda weird. Then to confuse me more there were atleast 5 or 6 mark 2s in the scrappy and not a single mark 3. Did VW not sell many?
-
People just couldnt afford the mk3 cos it's sooo prestigious :-*
I like things that are less common, they more likely to be admired and talked about then
like modded cars? ... big ass whale tails on the XR3i's? lol
-

No, not influenced at all, always liked mark1 shape and even if there was a mark2 cab I reckon I would still go for a mark1 but that's just my opinion. Maybe age has something to do with it I dunno, I just remember always having a soft spot for all mark1 golfs, just loved the shape, can't explain why.
I like the mark1 shape and also like the mark2 shape, it's hard to imagine what a mark2 cab would look like and I think VW knew the mark1 cab would have been hard to beat so didn't bother but I'm sure there must be some mark2 cab drawings kicking about in an archive draw somewhere. How much would they be worth !

no i didnt mean modded cars although when done tastefully i think some can be real eye catchers. shame the whale didnt patent his tail though ;) :D
the mark 3 sooo prestigious hey? hmm i think 'no comment' is best for keeping the peace ::)

I think age and when you were brought up has got something to do with it, but maybe not that much.
Being born when I was, I grew up with VW's in the family from a P reg Mk1 to a Derby, to a Mk1 Jetta to a Santana (Passat saloon). So that was a major influence, but I could have quite easily become a (cough) XR2 or XR3i fan (cough, washes mouth out with soap :-X ).
So, I like the Mk2 and Mk1 (preferring them to the others), hence I have my eye open for a nice Mk1 now.
-
My mk1 is a year younger than me so I don't think its an age thing! :D
The mk3 plus is more of a family car in my opinion. The m1 & 2 are more about driving than smoothness and comfort.
Uh oh I'm gonna get a roasting he he!! :D
-
^ i'm not even goin near that roasting comment :P
i think golfgal needs to actually drive a mk3 16v or vr6.. then talk (or not..) :P
-
I've driven the 8v but most confess not the 16v. The 8v was really sluggish compared to my mk1 & 2. :P
I'd rather dive a mk3 or up on the motorways as it is a smoother drive but a lot less fun. Maybe a vr6 would be diff i dunno :D
-
well of course the 8v is sluggish.. try a proper mk3 when u can ;)
-
same sh!t different badge :D ha ha
-
alas the ignorance of youth.. ::)
:P
:-*
-
Awww u too old to handle a real car :D
:-* :-*
-
