Newbie from VIC

Hey, how's it going everyone!

My name is Jeffrey, I'm from Victoria. I'm a new-found classic car lover and appreciator. I do not own a car as of yet; in fact I don't even have my license. I have, however, grown an immense interest towards the MK1 Golf and I am absolutely awed to find a forum with so many Volkswagen lovers and MK1 owners.

I'm new to the entire concept of automobiles. I don't even know the basic anatomy of one, but I try my best to do the research that I need to better understand the vehicles that interest me.

I have never really grown up with a background in cars as none of my family members specialised in any sort of profession related with automobiles and the only real experience my family members have provided me is being a passenger in their daily drivers - which, in my eyes were never of any interest.

I do hope to kindle this interest into both a passion and a hobby and I really do hope I can furthermore immerse myself with the community and fellow car lovers!

Hi Jeffrey, welcome to the forum.

There's a strong MK1 group in Melbourne and most of the guys started like you knowing very little about how to fix cars. Over the years they have learnt and now give advice and help to other Golf owners.

Don't be too scared to buy a rough MK1 although a good one will be better but more expensive. They are very easy to work on and there's always someone on this forum who will give advice and point you in the right direction.

Cheers

Paul
