found this down the car boot this morning, how frikkin' cool?!?! wasn't there a driving school version that speedmans got, or am I seriously confused (again)? anyway, i'm chuffed with it, to the point of thinking about new decals for it and giving it a resto (but it doesn't rust like the real thing ;D).     unfortunatly missing the charger port for the car and the transmitter ariel, might have an acoms one that'll fit. looking at it, there maybe a rear spoiler missing too, but meh. I was going to spit, polish and ebay, but I really like it  however, its possibly the most yugo looking mk1 golf ever........ just felt like sharing  |

nearly got a lovely old record player..i got a new mini exhaust bracket too, from this old guy who made me think of this site...he had so much stuff for sale, dirt cheap but it was all for old cars...brand new stock for old rovers, fords, pugs and renaults...amongst other things.

There was definitely a driving school version with little orange cones to steer round! And it said something like "Corgi School Of Motoring".

I went to a car boot today as well, bought some 5000000 or whatever candle power torch for £6 that don't work  Then when I got back to the car I found a flat tyre  Somehow got a puncture in the sidewall  I half think it might be deliberate. So now I am driving round on the original super narrow spare Glad you had a better car booting day anyway |

I'm pretty sure my bro had one of the when we were kids, and i had a 3 series BMW european touring car from the same range.
Just typed that and remembered I had the golf and it was silver so there is more out there to be hunted!

I had a thing called a 'Smash bang Sam' or something, it was two remote control VW beetles with detachable bumpers and wings, basically you twatted them into each other till all the bits came off, then put em back on again and did it again over and over till the batteries went flat.
