The photo was taken at Springs Branch while train spotting with my son in 1993.
The Golf Diesel is the first small family car to be released by a major manufacturer with a diesel which can compete with a similar sized petrol engine. It could averge 50 mpg. A good reliable car.

The Golf GTI was the first hot hatchback.

This was last on the road in 1999. 20 years, not a bad innings for a car

This car would still be on the road today but someone who could'nt drive hit it and it was written off D.C.

Phil Tittan is a complete foolish man, who shows incompetents.
If people like the same make of car and colour, we'd all have the same.
