my first mk2, first car even. It all came to an end yesterday.
I bought this car 3 days after i got my liscense, and it was what started the hobby for me. Even changed my life to a degree that i gave up studying economics at the university to go to a tech-school for car development. I got tired of the slow 1.3 about 2 years ago, and i decided i liked the coupe style better anyway so i bought my recent coupe.

But what do you do with your first love? you can't sell her, that would be sacriledge.... so i rented a spot in a barn to put her into storage. Hoping that one day i would get a great idea or a good opputunity to put her to good use. But as time passed i changed my mind so many times that she never got out of the barn again.

Then my friend Marc crashed his Jetta, and he needed parts for cheap, so i thought, what the hell just get them of the Golf. And piece by piece she started to get robbed of parts.

And then, about a month ago, i was given a mk1 Golf by Chris. As this will become my new project i needed the spot in the barn.

So finally i decided to put the Golf out of it's misery,.. I GAVE IT UP.
put the paperwork in an envelope and send them to Stijn. he stripped her for parts and she will leave to the junkyard in a few days.

so in a few days it will be no more Golf.
so as my tribute to her, i'm gonna make her one last picpost, so all her friends can say goodbye :laugh:
