The video begins with a sponsor message for Car Vertical, a service that provides historical reports for used cars. The presenter emphasizes its utility for checking a car's history, including previous owners, mileage accuracy, and accident records. He encourages viewers to use the promo code "Akram" for a 20% discount.
The main segment of the video features a young man named Théo, who is 20 years old and owns a unique Golf 2 Dutch Post. He explains that "Dutch Post" signifies a genuine former postal service vehicle from the Netherlands. He points out specific details that identify it as such, including a number on the windshield and specialized seatbelts designed to remain attached when exiting the vehicle, allowing for quick re-entry during mail delivery. He also mentions the distinctive color and the Dutch Post logo, as well as the interior, which has fewer options than a standard Golf 2, lacking a radio.
Théo acquired this Golf 2 when he was 14, sold it due to financial constraints, and then managed to reacquire it a year prior to the filming in its current state. He notes that the previous owner had already performed modifications, including the addition of a rear bench seat, which was not originally part of the Dutch Post configuration. Théo intends to find the original kit to restore it to its full Dutch Post specification, although he acknowledges the practicality of the bench seat for carrying passengers.
The car is equipped with air suspension and three-piece PGX wheels, which were originally fitted to Porsches. It also features a light engine modification, including a larger turbo and adjusted ignition timing, resulting in 108 horsepower at the dyno, an increase from the standard 80-90 horsepower for the 1.6 TD engine. Théo points out the intercooler, which is mounted on the side, a feature he notes is present on certain versions of the 1.6 TD R engine.
The presenters express surprise at the existence of such a specific variant and admire the car's excellent condition, contrasting it with newer cars that can quickly fall into disrepair. They open the hood to reveal the original engine, a 1.6 TD R with an intercooler. They also discuss the rear seat, which Théo explains is from a police car, creating a unique combination. Théo clarifies that the car is not longer than a standard Golf 2 and attributes any perceived length to the color.
The video then moves to the trunk, where Théo shows the original Volkswagen logo from that era, explaining that the modifications to the trunk area were done by the previous owner, who sourced parts from AliExpress. Despite the origin, the modifications are well-executed and functional. The presenters appreciate the attention to detail and the originality of the car.
The group then takes the Golf 2 for a drive. Théo invites Alex to sit in the back, allowing him to experience the spaciousness and unique setup. Alex comments on the surprising amount of legroom and the overall comfort, likening it to being in a "mini-bar." He is particularly intrigued by the specialized seatbelts, which he finds incredibly clever for their intended purpose of quick access and egress. He jokes about wanting to be "put in handcuffs" to fully experience the "police car" feel.
During the drive, the conversation touches upon the car's cost, with Théo stating he paid 10,000 euros for it as his daily driver, acknowledging he might have overpaid due to its sentimental value. He reveals he owns four other cars: two Golf 6 GTIs (stage 3), and a Golf 3 undergoing restoration. He confirms that the Golf 2 Dutch Post will remain largely original, with no plans for significant audio system upgrades, as he prefers to maintain its character.
The discussion then shifts to the car's durability and mileage. Despite its age and likely extensive use by the postal service, the car has a remarkably robust build. It's estimated to have well over 400,000 kilometers on the odometer, possibly even more across multiple counters. The presenters emphasize the quality of German engineering from that era, noting its longevity.
Alex shares his appreciation for the stories behind cars, and he finds the history of this former postal vehicle particularly captivating. He also expresses his excitement about the unique rear bench seat, adding another layer to the car's narrative.
The video briefly mentions upcoming events. Roro, a fellow car enthusiast and content creator, announces he is organizing an event on April 12th at the Château de Peron. He also mentions attending the GR8 event near the Belgian border.
The conversation then turns to Roro's car collection and his participation in car events. He explains that he typically doesn't display his own cars at events he organizes, preferring to give space to other exhibitors. He mentions attending the GR8 event, which is a large automotive show organized by a magazine featuring supercars, hypercars, and various tuning styles. He also plans to attend the BF2 event, which is BMW-specific.
Another individual, Franin, mentions participating in GR8 and other "R nation" events, noting that at 20 years old, he is still exploring his involvement in the car scene. He discusses his current projects, including finishing his Golf 3 and planning a complete repaint and new exhaust system for the Golf 2 Dutch Post. He states that he generally keeps his cars, except for his GTIs, which he has owned multiple times and often switches out. He explains that selling some cars helps finance his other projects.
Théo shares his social media handles: "Toto du Bas édition ED35" for his personal car content and "TC_cars" for his business, which offers car wrapping and importation services.
The video concludes with expressions of gratitude between the presenters and their guests, Roro and Théo, for showcasing unique vehicles and sharing their passion for automobiles. The presenters also thank Alex for his usual presence and encourage viewers to check out their secondary channels.
