CAR CLUB 18-30 An exclusive collection of fast, interesting, or just plain cool modern classics, that were born no later than 1995, or remained in production until 1983 Words by Dr Octane E ach month we at MotorPunk update the membership of an exclusive virtual motor club for interesting motors that were in production between 1983 and 1995. Now aged between 18 to 30 years old these modern classics can often be seen in convoy on our annual transcontinental jolly known as CarClub 18-30. It’s a bit like the Thomas Cook bonkathons of the same name, but without the naked photographs that linger on Facebook, or the wonky stitch-marks courtesy of a Greek junior doctor following a drunken moped pile-up. This month we say hello to the Caterham 21 and auf wiedersehen to VW’s iconic Hot-Hatch, the MK1 Golf GTI. 39
