Die Volkswagen Golf GTi word dikwels as ‘n legende in die motor-industrie beskou, en ek ‘n paar dae met hom gekuier om uit te vind hoekom. Die eerste GTi uit die sewentige jare was een van die eerste “warm blitsbukse” omdat ingeneurs ‘n klein stadsmotor met ‘n hoë-verrigtingsenjin gemeng het.
The Volkswagen Golf GTi is often referred to as a legend in the motoring industry, and I got one to visit me for a few days to investigate this claim. The first GTi from the seventies was one of the first “hot hatches” because engineers troubled a city runabout with a performance engine.
Some things will never change, and the Volkswagen Scirocco is surely one of them. I fondly remember the first version of VW’s sleek two-door coupe because a school friend’s Mom used to drive a silver 1980 Scirocco around Windhoek. Probably still does.
