PT. 1 – The Rabbit
In a meet-up set up by Chico, an Mk1 driver since 1996, we learn how The Rabbit came into our country. Well, sort of. We unpack the love they have for The Icon at a carwash – a place where many of these nicknames are born. While the grootmans school the young ones, the new Golf makes an appearance. Watch as the gents experience it for the first time.

PT. 3 – The Vura
One thing about the Vura? It has many nicknames from all over South Ah. In some hoods, you call it iPhupho Lethu (our dream), AKA Voroso ya R6, AKA Veronica With the 6 Kids, AKA Vur Vai, AKA Vaairus. It’s that “one day is one day” car, that young boys – now grown men – dreamed of owning. Watch as Lucky tells us when his love for the Mk3 began.

The Mk4 came along and despite how the R32 didn’t come into the country, South Africans began to nickname the car after it. And when the world saw the name of an engine, we saw a price tag – and called the Golf 4 32 Rand. Watch as how Darian speaks about his love for his whip and why he calls it The Black Sheep.
