Intro

[wolfsburg]

Hi,
I am the proud owner of a 1977 Mk1 Golf and have been for about a year now. Actually I think it may have been owned by a member of the boards?

It is good to see an Australian forum for Golf's. I am also surprised how many members are from Tassie, do you guys get together at all?

Cheers.

She's lovely (naughty GTI badge, though!). We've been trying to organise a get together but even though Tassie's a small place, it hasn't happened yet. Maybe in the summer. Our farm has a tourist cottage that would be a possible venue.

[GoLfMan]

welcome mate... nice ride!!!

[evorobin]

Sweeeeetttt. Nice 3 door you got there mate

[el_foolio]

firstly mate, nice ride!!! shes purdy. secondly, where in hobart are you, because ive never seen your car about?? yeah, we are planning a meet, theres two options i guess. a good long drive up to brackies place, where we can stay (i think?) and then a good drive back. or the other idea is a bit of a 'club' day up at baskerville, where we could have a bbq, check out each others cars, and do a few laps. im fine with either, i spose it evens out, becase the petrol to brackies would be a bit and i think its like $80 to use baskerville? i dunno, im sure its not $80 too brackies, but you get my drift. well thats about the jist of it.

Welcome to the site!
Its good to see another Tassie member.
and yes thats one of my old cars.
Luckily it survived all these years but I guess thats because it was owned by the proverbial "lil ol lady".and rescued by me from a lowlife who had siezed the motor.
A RUN OUT TO A CLUB DAY SHORTLY IS ON THE CARDS.Maybe next Sunday!

I thought it may have been your old car Golfwise from reading the boards, we spoke on the phone? I sorted the wiper out thanks. We need to catch up and sort steering wheel.

I still get excited every time I drive this car, and park it with a smile.

Yeah Brackie this is how I got the car off of a young bloke, badge and all. I have not started to personalise her yet.

I live in Electrona el_foolio, this car is my daily driver. I work in Hobart....a day at Baskerville would be great, get some pics of cars together and teach a newcomer more about Golf's.

I heard something about the rear inner wheel lift

[Golfwise]

Old "Orange"has already posted 69 second lap times at Baskerville and thats without decent brakes.It has nice Koni /Nuespeed equip .

[wolfsburg]

Nice time, Well this car is faster than my old NA 944 Porsche. Well at least to 110KMh cannot go speeding now.

The current 40 series tyres do make for a rather rigid ride on top of the stiff suspension.

Yeah I was enquiring with Andrew on brake upgrade, maybe mk2+ discs?

I am not sure as I don't really know the best and most affordable upgrade.

If you want brakes then go for the GTI MK2 disks and rotors. They bolt straight up and are cheap.
