Slow-living cardiologically challenged Fenlander trying to cram less and less into each day. I write about cars but not as much as before. Electric is my thing (EV-ing since 2013). Life-long Labour member of a centrist persuasion. English of Welsh extraction. Interested in Germany (lived there twice). US politics/CNN fan. Like cats but I don’t have one myself. Studied at Oxford and Bayes. Live in the beautiful cathedral city of Ely. Background pic: North Shore beach at Skegness. # davidsdailycar

Over the last few days, I’ve posted several air-cooled rear-engined Porsches and Volkswagens. Porsche produced air-cooled cars until 1998, and the 911 has stuck with its rear-engined layout to this day. But in the 1970s, Volkswagen knew it had to modernise fast, and nothing exemplifies the switch better than this crisply (Giugiaro) designed front-wheel drive water-cooled first-generation Golf.
