But it was hardly an ideal choice for a beginner!<br \/>\nI can still remember the first time I saw my 1985 Gambia Red 1.3 Golf C, behind the old VW garage in Castleisland. Covered in specs of white paint , leaking water and with a broken door handle\u2026.! But I fell in love instantly. My dad wasn\u2019t so sure, but I soon talked him round!<\/p>\n<p>A week later \u201cCharlie\u201d (as in he \u2013 yes my car is a he not she) was delivered. I spent the evening sitting in the car, listening to the crappy radio and playing with the headlights (I was only 16 so taking him for a drive wasn\u2019t an option). Then the fun started! We stripped the car down to a bare shell, sealed, scrubbed and polished everything! After about 2 months the fun parts started arriving \u2013 Eibach anti-roll bars, Bilstein suspension kit, Goodridge stainless steel brake hoses, Ernst exhaust etc\u2026<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_892\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/firstcar2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-892\" class=\"size-full wp-image-892\" title=\"firstcar2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/firstcar2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/firstcar2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/firstcar2-300x226.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-892\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Under the bonnet<\/p><\/div>\n<p>My 17th birthday came and soon I was cruising Killarney in the driving instructors red yaris (how embarrassing) but it wasn\u2019t until 3 months later \u201cproject Golf\u201d was roadworthy. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll ever forget my first on-road journey \u2013 2 front seats, no carpets, no door cards and L plates! From that moment on my life had changed forever \u2013 weekends were now spent cleaning and polishing and my evenings were wasted trawling car magazines looking for inspiration!<\/p>\n<p>We spent the next 5 years together, touring the country from one end to the other with a few extra modifications along the way. No matter how bad a mood I was in, a quick spin in the Golf would cure it! The only bad memories I have are of a few breakdowns (inevitable really), followed by consistent weekly break-downs. As much as I hated to admit it, the 20 year old engine was in need of some serious TLC if I was to continue using it as a daily driver. Decision made, I started hunting for new wheels. In October 2005 I bought my dream, an Inca Blue Corrado G60 (1.8 Supercharged).<\/p>\n<p>But \u201cCharlie\u201d will live again \u2013 and out of all my cars is still the favorite!
