Pat Coholan shows the Irish Examiner around his 1979 VW Golf 1.5 Diesel GL

What are you currently driving?

I drive a 1979 Volkswagon Golf 1.5 Diesel GL. I have a garage in Ballinspittle, Co Cork. In 1979, I sold a new Golf to a customer and when driving it from Cork, I liked it so much I decided that this is the car for me, even though being a mechanic I thought I would never buy a new car.
