In November 2025 I picked up a 1988 Golf GTi that I'd won in a prize draw (lucky so and so I hear you saying) and for the first 3 months or so drove it occasionally (including to work and back a couple of time when the modern cars lost arguments with potholes). However driving home one night I noticed the temperature guage climbing quickly so pulled into a supermarket car park, turned the engine off and watch steam coming from the front of the car. I opened the bonnet and was greeted with this...
Looks like I'm shopping for a head gasket kit and spending some time in the near future sorting out the mess...
