New boy
« on: 24 November 2021, 08:40 »

Hi all,

New here, but not to the VAG family.
I'm a Manc that has been living in Penzance for the last 27 years. I'm 54 and retired around 18 months ago... woohoo!

I've just bought myself a big bumper '90 GTI in white, as a replacement for a '65 Notchback.

My first car was an '89 Golf GTI, although had many Audi's and Volkswagen's since then.

Thanks for redaing this blather

Cheers, Al.

Thank you.

Yes I'm very lucky. I'm off over to Pendeen in the morning, just by coincidence... And to talk about old cars too!
