Who else but Scotto would buy a barely functional green, mean, not at all clean 1975 VW “Swallowtail” Rabbit (which later became known in the States as the Golf)? A Big Gulp’s got more displacement than the engine but somehow the cab fits him AND Big Rich thanks to some seat modification. Props to Scotto for actually getting this to run, but will it meet Chop Master Zac’s approval?

This was such a great episode. Hearing Scotto nerd out about VW's was awesome, also him conquering his carcaine and keeping it running is nice. Zac's response to it was so great.
Also whoop whoop, more Daily Tangents - hopefully with epic wraps at the end!
Constant DT Episodes, check
Scotto nerding about vw's, check
Scotto keeping it simple, with a running car and enjoying it as-is, check.
Today was a good day
I miss the epic video wrap ups
Whoop whoop! Glad to hear DT is coming back. Definitely missed it. I think the best part is that we get to see folks that A) we don't get to see for sometimes months at a time and B) we get to see more of the folks that we don't get to see at all. As Scotto said, it gives you guys a chance to just do stupid fun stuff. We like the content, but we like you guys too. You, your personalities, are part of that content. You guys are what make this special.
And he said 3 episodes a week?!?!?! Hell yeah I can't wait!!!
We ain't juggalos here, we say HIP HIP
i don’t know fs because i haven’t really watched all their vids but it seems from the comments and stuff that they pull series’ in and out of the loop all the time ? lol
I'm so ecstatic that Zach is back, he's come back with major Floki energy and its fantastic
So glad Scotto is reviving a fallen channel so he can talk about his junk, it’s really what I was missing in my life now that I think about it!
Scotto in every car he owns:
"Did You guys do something to it?"
This is the Hoonigan I love. The fancy-shmancy polished stuff is nice but there's nothing like these natural videos of the fellas just being nerds about cars and having fun. At least with Scotto you guys know you'll never run out of obscure VAG knowledge or "Scotto projects" that are always "a week away" from being done. Now you just need to get Sh*tcar fixed...
Scotto's reaction about touching the rain tray 🤣. Looked like he literally almost had a heart attack..
Just when I thought Scotto had forgotten another channel's password... DT coming back is the best news I heard in a while.
This is legit my favorite car scotto owns. Smollow rear end, round lights, the stance, ect. God it is hitting me in the feels.
I love Grimm. His whispermercials are the only ones I don't fast forward
Going through Scottos project cars and what he envisions for them would be a cool video. Also what the crew actually does for hoonigan other than burnouts
Watching Scotto nerd out on cars is oddly satisfying........ 😆
this is what i feel. its odd but its satisfying..
Thank you Scotto we desperately need daily tangents. Three per week sounds great.
I drive a 1981 VW Rabbit D 1.6L so it's always nice seeing another rabbit roaming around on social media
Hahaha 🤣 scotto almost had a anxiety attack wen rich grab the rain tray
The feeling these mk1's give you as a driver is unmatched...
Yes finally scotto, love that swallowtail on g60 steelies. Please keep the VAGE content coming. So many details I could name
*VAG
🙂
I've got a 1981 Rabbit diesel that was purchased new by my parents when I was a kid. So much planning has to go into everything you do when driving that car. I love the simplicity of it. I'm never doing an engine swap on it - it's staying as stock as possible!
Dude I went by during your “Christmas Break” and Big Rich was there. Dude is legit as hell. He was so cool and showed us around
Ya know one of the biggest reasons I love watching Hoonigan in general is because we get to see vehicles most of us wouldn't on a regular basis and gain an appreciation for a far wider range of them. This is a perfect example of a car that I knew basically nothing about and don't believe I've ever seen before, but as soon as I see one in person next I'll recognize it and get just that little quiet dose of dopamine because I know what it is.
I once hit up Brian DM´s about a Brazilian only VW , and he replied . Long time fan, cheers from Brazil.
Had a VW rabbit diesel that I rebuilt out of junkyard parts for my first car while in high school, drove it through university. It handled great through summers and heavy snow winters. Bright red interior in amazing condition, smoking windows, automatic seatbelts. It grew on people and was beloved by my friends. Love seeing Rabbit content, but I need more!
"I have 9 sets of wheels for this car" and "maybe I'm slowly growing up" don't mix good 😂
My Mk. 1 Jetta also has the Mk. 2 16V seats. Honestly the nicest seats I've ever sat in.
91 and a half cubic inches. Even as someone who understands ltrs that's amazing. My mk1 gti was a 1.1 with chrome mirrors. 2nd best car iv ever owned. Loving the vdub audi commitment
The absolute JOY of driving an underpowered vehicle with a manual transmission! You can see it on Zach's face. Lovin' it!
“There is no plan that was, every plan still is” -Brain Scotto
lol timestamp?
"The voice of reason" LOL!!! Nice one on that insert.
Scatto: luv this car, it’s become my daily.
Zachary: immediately tries to jump the railroad
“Who’s tryna steal what!?” I love it 😂
7.38 when Scotto's face changed. You know he genuinely cares for this rabbit and it's unbroken rain tray
Happy to see that Scotto and Pumphrey never forgot their VW roots.
“Scotto wants to do a thing we do a thing” except finish his cars lol. All jokes always great content
Had two Mk1's they were built in SA up to 2009. My first one was the 5 speed 1300 Chico, then I had a British racing green GTi. 100KW on the wheels. Gas flowed head, Audi 500 2.2 throttle body and a Bro-Speed branch with 76mm Power Flow straight pipe with one muffler. I just love this era of Golf. Living in Johannesburg and the high theft of these cars is a challenge. Every now and then I look at one and have been tempted to buy a1.6i. When I move back to my city, Cape Town. I will buy one.
thanks for the content over the last view weeks. I would really enjoy a top of the week series, including the best moments of the week.
Finally! I’ve been eyeing this thing in the background for awhile! Hoping to import a MK1 to sit next to my Imola Yellow 20th soon. ✌️VW
You guys are the absolute best at what you do. You almost feel like family now, maybe because I've been watching you guys since forever, or because your content is so chill, laid back, and goofy at the same time. Keep up the good work guys.
...and whatever you do, don't axe DT. You don't even have to edit it that much, it can even be raw, just dump it here, we'll watch, religiously too.
Also, I look forward to your uploads from all your channels every day after spending the whole day doing DevOps stuff. They help me relax.
Somehow I enjoy this video more then most of the thousand horsepower sequential car videos.
Still standing up!! I’m 6’5” in a mk6 lowered Jetta. I felt that on the inside
Scotto keeping it real for all the other VW nerds. Could listen to him to talk about little details all day long.
I remember jumping my Mk 1 Scirocco over some train tracks that had just the right approach angle. So fun seeing items float out of my center console!
I remember some kids from high school jumping a van off the train tracks crashing and dying. They were also intoxicated, but none the less they died on the spot.
@@Weekendairsoftwrrior Definite buzz kill.
"Hands down, the Mk1 & Mk2 Volkswagens are some of the best project/daily drivers around".
- Says a random 23 year old guy on the internet
But really these cars are raw and real, no matter what model or engine you get you can't help but enjoy every bend and downshift in these cars. As any car enthusiast knows, when you're young and wide eyed, you dream of many cult classic automotive icons ranging from the big block muscle cars to the JDM legends and everything else in-between. These cars used to offer quite an affordable entree fee with fuel consumption that even rivals modern cars.
Though the world of classic Volkswagens can seem alluring and maybe even daunting to some, it helps to attract the real fanatics and detail oriented forum junkies that we in the community have all grown to recognize and love. It's quite refreshing to see Scotto's passion when he talks about the swallow tail and other minuet details of the car that "normal" people would just glance over and completely miss, this something we in the community can all understand and appreciate.
The only downside of content creator's and their search for new, and exciting content, finally shining the spotlight on these hidden gems is that it's suddenly opened the market to opportunistic people eager to make a quick buck. It's taken these once affordable, easy to work on cars and forced the market to skyrocket. Looking back on it I remember a time, 4-6 years ago when you could easily buy quite nice examples of these cars for no more than a couple hundred dollars or luck out on finding 3-5 of them and only spending 500$. So, it's quite sad to see rotten cars in dire need of body and structural work now selling for $5-8,000.
No disrespect to Scotto or the guys over at Hoonigan as I love to see these cars finally being talked about but it makes me sad to know that some young gear heads out there might never have the opportunity to experience or own one of these cars as prices continue to rise and resellers hoard parts or buy up what limited supplies we have left only to raise the price and own the market.
I’m glad y’all decided to keep DT around! I can’t wait to see what shenanigans the crew can get into! Also updates about everyone’s cars!
Seriously THANK YOU for doing this episode. I’m heading back to Germany and I’m itching to get another rabbit. Thanks homie! 🔥🔥
people relate with this casual content way more than some other things
I have lost count of how many mk1 Rabbits I have owned. Takes me back. Don't have any currently but I still have a 2006 GLI and a 2014 Audi S5. So still in the VAG family. Gratz on your Audi Club NA board position.
Love it! My first car was a 79 type c. It would only do 76mph. I bought it for 300 wrecked it twice and sold it for 550. I still love them!
You Should get one of those " Green Car Only " or " Reserved for Green Vehicle " Signs for Scottos Rabbit
My very first car was a 1980 vw rabbit. I've been looking for one after about 25 year. Kick ass man. I like the green and the plate rules. 420 everyday
Scotto's best car yet, so excited you guys finally made a video out of this swallowtail. Such a cool car!
We need more vw content. The mk2 episode and this were absolutely fantastic. Can't wait for daily tangents.
Always loved the steelie wheels on it! So clean a look
First car I ever drove was my parents baby blue mark I Rabbit .It was so easy to drive I loved it and the 1.6 totally did it's job. Nice to see one again Mark I's are rare now.
It feels like this video is years in the making, and it did not disappoint. Hoonigan and Scotto are above Disney/Marvel/LucasFilm in that regard. A lot of people, including myself, asked to see "that green Rabbit in the back" for quite some time. 1.5 L? I was guessing 1 L by the size of the egine. Very cool!
This was alot of fun and why I love hoonigan.
I dont daily it anymore, it sits all pretty in my garage but I have a 1.8 20v turbo swapped mk1 I daily drove for about 8 years till just before covid hit. Bought the chassis with a 1.0l engine for 20 quid and some work done at a closing scrapyard back in 2001.
VW nerds are a special bunch. Hearing him nerd out about this stuff is exactly what VW meets are like. So glad to hear he is daily driving this swallowtail.
Scotto sell me those G60 steels for my Rabbit!
My son and I built a 1992 VW Cabriolet for his first car about 4 years ago. Mama said it wasn't safe enough. So I gave him my Mk6 GTI, and took the cabby. Not sad at all about that trade! Of course this was my 12th VW, mostly MK1 and MK2's. Love MK1 VWs.
Love the V-dub! Is it an original colour? Lovely piece of kit! That whispering on headphones felt personal 😳
Scotto keep the OG paint!!! Survivor car all the way. It's young car kid spec!!!! "All I can afford is lowering springs and a low powered bone stock car but I love it more than anything" I feel like this one would lose it's magic once it becomes a money car. Keep it broke car kid and hopeful with dreams man...
Swallowtail and Bali green are what dreams are made of. My first manual car was an 83 🐇 GTI. The combination of not knowing how to drive manual and trashed shift bushings was a nightmare. Took me a week to find first reliably without accidentally starting in 3rd or stalling. The feedback you get from these things is unreal if they're set up well.
dude. My heart dropped when he reached for the rain tray 😂 my mk2 rain tray is roached after a dude was looking for rust on it and crumbled it
And it starts and drives. Awww.... Look how far he's grown.
Hell yeah I'm glad to hear DT is coming back!!!!
I just picked up my very first mk1 recently. I can’t wait to start working on it
I dig that ride. The fear that Scotto expresses is similar to when I drove my 1983 Dodge Rampage..... When I would dump the clutch the back half of my k member would repeatedly slap the ground until the wheel hop stopped. Ended up ratchet strapping the k frame up so I could drive it. Everything it was supposed to mount to was rusted away. Go Michigan!
Love it, recently upgraded my tiny 70's VW from 895 to 1272cc but with some Sorg Motorsport parts for added smiles...
That container truck behind you would make re-creating F&F drift under like the old burn yard had! 👍 just the good old days!
Best episode! Love the vw mk1 😎
Dude I love it. Scotto has dream cars but you always go back to your brand roots man I swear lol
Not gonna lie, I'm genuinely more excited for daily tangent content than most of the stuff that goes up on the main channel. Stoked a.f. that DT is back and here to stay!
The movie clips and graphics are almost the best part of these videos. Editor knows what's up!
Man that thing’s beautiful! I wish I still had my mk1 caddy 😓
Next time I’m in town, I need a ride in Scottos small green tractor. That thing is such a drivers car!
I miss my 83 Rabbit. So much fun to drive.
Super clean for the age man love the car.the Gti and rabbits are my favorite cars ever. Had 4 of them. Lol
This is the real hoonigan content i subbed for.
Well it’s back every week.
I just want to thank Scotto for being subjected to the coolest Japanese cars of all time with enough money to buy whatever he really wants.. But has stayed fairly loyal to his love of VWs.. If I ever went to California, I would love to meet Scotto just to nerd out over German shit.
I love the kinda raw cut bonus episodes
Scotto, you need to pick up a trashed VW and do a ground up restoration or something stupid like a K-swap. I love the car. Rabbit's are so fun to drive!
At first I was like "damn! so Scotto does own at least one nice clean car!" because we saw how clean the outside looked from 10ft away, nice wheel choice. But then we see the interior... And the engine bay.... Nope. True to form Scotto car.
You guys should do an elimination race on this vs that with all the guys from the crew!
*I suggest a go kart track going around the building, and through the yard. Those things sliding up, and off that incline would be fun.*
The Rabbit is something special! Love it Scotto!
I have a 1984 1.6l turbo diesel Jetta I had planned on rebuilding 7 years ago. I took it all apart, bought all my parts, but I have had cancer twice and a stem cell transplant by the time I was 22. My health has continued to deteriorating. I researched so many different things found which parts from which automaker I could cross over. The only thing I didn't get was a Giles fuel pump. These engines are capable of making some serious power if you have the time and money. I keep hoping someday I will feel good enough to build it but it just isn't reasonable to think that's going to happen.Ivwould have loved to put 6 speed Audi transmission and go rear wheel or AWD. Push the fuel pump up to 6000 rpm. Put on a 1.9l aaz head 3 inch straight pipe. I was going build a custom aluminum intake and a massive intercooler and an aluminum radiator. I would have been rolling some coal for sure. I really miss doing this stuff. You guys are awesome. Your videos are the only things that make me feel good. I'd give anything for a ride along
That VW love is so specific and special. VW is so good at mechanical parts, plastic and keeping water out..not so much.
Had a mid eighties diesel jetta as a first car. Scoto is correct, you have to anticipate everything. How fast do I have to go to make it up this hill?
Although, what was great was filling it up at the truck stop. with the firehouse of nozzle the Peterbuilts used.
The more relaxed and impromptu episodes are way better. Back to the old days of transmission.
Hell yeah proud of you Scotto for enjoying a runner.
Why is the ASMR part genuinely satisfying 😌 I don't usually like ASMR🤣🤣
I just love how excited scotto is about his mk1. I'd love to have one.
I love it !!!!!! I drive a 80 square light rabbit with a 1.6 gas dang near daily!!!
Only when we r gettin really hot weather or really bad storms I drive my other car.
Tytytytyty for ur tour of ur ride!!!
N please don't touch the RAIN TRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My brother had a mark one. I was a Honda guy. One of my dream Frankensteins is one of these with a b18 or 16 vtec
Bro why is Grim good at ASMR?😂 I genuinely enjoyed that ad
Yes! Keep the DT rolling! Any adventure and scumbaging just upload it and forget about the high quality pre meditated stuff we don’t know any better😂😂
That's suck a sick car! I got to rally a mark 2 around north idaho for a year or two in high school. Super fun cars! Definitely caught air a few times up on the prairies and gravel roads a few times!
I’m so excited DT is back. AND y’all have to go to Lufteghult 8 this year!!
So cool to see more vw mk1 lovers out there❤❤ hardly ever see them on the road. My first mk1 was a '75 swallow tail and she was 1.1L 4 speed, she was a beaut but struggled up gentle hills😂 Love her for it lol. Is that an American thing where they can in 1.5L?? Now I'm rocking a 1.5diesel😎
Great looking mk1. God i mis my mk1. In south Africa we got plenty of mk1 varieties amd you see them around every corner
That’s a nice looking Rabbit, color is fucking awesome, please don’t change it! Also just a friendly tip that you probably already know....I couldn’t tell from the video but when starting VWs with mechanical fuel pumps and carbs, especially when they’re cold, you gotta give it one or two pumps on the gas pedal before turning the key or if the carb is flooded you gotta turn the key with the gas pedal to the floor, obviously in neutral ;) hahahaha I’m looking forward to what you’re going to do with this beauty! Viel Spaß damit!
I Think Hiring a Swiss 29yo Unpro Sim Drifter, Mk3 20th Anniversary Gti & Honda 125cc Pcx Owner to change his life is the last challenge you didnt! Im a petrolhead with no luck! I now ended fluidifying the traffic in my town Thats hard but if i wanna finish my Golf one day I must keep that & use the minimal time left to try to do simdrifting videos you actually would never hear about ^^
I used to have an 20 April 1980 Vw Golf Mk1 Leader Edition.. 2 doors, military green interior, she was grey without sunroof. It was a 1.3 Gls. My Brother sold it when i went to australia, thats why im now stuck with my Mk3 but id give anything to find it back but i heard she went to Bulgaria or something.. This story is from 2013 I bought my Mk3 in 2014 and Ill never sold it! Take care Guys!
You give so much happiness to people with boring life like me! Thank you so much!
Brian as you have seen in the Dm in 8 years she is not even painted! But rare stuff is already there!
