… The beginning of the spring of 1979. France has not parted with the remains of winter snowdrifts, but the March sun is already in full swing. Summer promises to be hot. Two days remain before the start of the annual automobile exhibition in St. Tropez. Several German engineers in jackets with the inscription Karmann, sweating sweaty, assemble a stand, in the center of which, on the podium, is a car wrapped in a blanket. Immediately after the official opening of the exhibition, the cover will be removed and an open version of the VW Golf mk I will appear in the eyes of the audience. Over the next fourteen years, this car will be the best-selling convertible in the world.

In the early nineties, Stas owned one of the few car services in St. Petersburg, the main profile of which was the maintenance of expensive foreign cars. The company carried huge profits, but there was enough trouble. Clients were not intelligent: some were not in the mood to pay, others, waving their fists, demanded services out of turn, while others themselves strove to “serve”, offering a dubious solution to problems at all levels, from the ministerial to the afterlife. In general, the work equally consisted of repair of cool cars and showdowns with their owners.

And once Stas realized that he was fed up. He was tired of all these showdowns and "roofs." He took - sold the business and moved out of town. And then I bought myself a new car: not expensive, but the one I had dreamed about for a long time. Without a roof. Convertible based on VW Golf mk I.

And while charging his cabrio, Stas showed a rare sense of style and, perhaps, tact. He did not intervene in the style of the car and did not increase the power of the motor. He managed to create an individual style with a minimum of expressive means - a barely noticeable overlay for the headlights, an easy refinement of the front bumper, custom moldings, tinted taillights and direction indicators. The final touches are the “fifteenth” black discs and brake calipers in body color. No more refinement was required: Golf “played”, turning from a ten-year-old sniffy modelka into a stylish weekend car.

However, Stas is not going to "cut through" evenings on Nevsky Prospekt: not solid, they say, not twenty already. However, Stas liked to listen to music in the car. Tuning continued …

A chain of audio components was formed gradually, growing in a “brick” and, finally, turned into a powerful system, almost of an extra class. Most surprisingly, the civilian “cassette” Sony, which can be found in dozens of cars whose owners are by no means music lovers, acts as the head unit. The rest of the audio product, which is packed with the Golf trunk, will impress any professional: an additional Extrem Maxima battery, a Lighttuning Audio capacitor, three amplifiers (Alpine, Eclipse, Magnat), three subwoofers (Magnat Shockwave, Velocity, IMPACT), and three-way Grundig speakers.
