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.
The first folding-metal-roof cars were not the Germans of ten or fifteen years ago, but Peugeot in the 1930’s. Why everybody took so long to bring this brilliant concept back is beyond me.
As ‘n mens van veilige gesinsmotors praat sal dit nie lank vat voordat iemand die handelsmerk Volvo noem nie. Dié vervaardiger geniet ‘n trotse geskiedenis propvol motors wat goeie kwaliteit met veiligheid en verrigting gekombineer het.
Should a dinner conversation ever turn to the subject of safe family cars it won’t take very long until the name Volvo creeps into focus. This manufacturer has a proud heritage of quality cars that combined safety with performance.
