That's weird....I drive my paprika red Scala from Newhaven to Lewes every day! How come we haven't spotted each other? 8-)

Got my hopes up for a moment there as Banbury is my neck of the woods. Alas, mine is a H reg GTII
Not been on here till last couple of weeks so late response but that's me :)

I live near Stratford but I'm always around Banbury/Leamington too. Nice to know there are other owners locally! Never seem to see them about
As far as I know, there's at least 3 near Banbury. Mine is a red GTII as mentioned and there's 2 black/dark grey ones too. I think one of them belongs to a member on here too.
I have a k reg in metallic grey gt2 on outskirts of Banbury ;-)

Saw a grey MK2 this afternoon about 4pm on the A24 near Dorking, Surrey. I was waving erratically out of the sunroof... I was too far away to see a reg.

Is yours the one with the 5 spoke wheels that are quite dished? Kind of like these:

If so, I'm quite fond of that one.


Banbury is becoming quite a good place for older watercooled VWs. I keep spotting a MK1 Golf around, loads of nice MK2 and MK3 Golfs and a really nice saloon, but I can't for the life of me figure out what it is. Possibly a Santana? I think I actually see more nice watercooled ones than aircooled now. Or maybe I'm just noticing them my route to work now goes through town.

That should have said the A43. I was too far away from the roundabout to see the numberplate that day.

Spotted you on there this morning though heading towards Kettering, was in my Golf waiting to cross over towards Sywell.

I knew what you meant. I really should pay attention when driving, the amount of people who say they see me or flash me and I have no idea. Just in my own little world!!
