I'm in the same age group as Warren and there were no water-cooled VW's in my youth. I did have a VW watercooled period however. For a short time I worked for a VW performance company where we cast our own 4 cylinder VW cylinder heads.
We built a lot of motors, some over 200hp. I had an 87 16V GTI which was a good runner and fun to drive. Somebody gave me a diesel pick-up which I restored and drove for years. It was a good parts truck and got 40mpg. Rust was it's biggest enemy.
