    Yeah - you know that you're driving a MkI when you try to punch a hole
    in the floor of a Honda Civic the first time you go for the clutch

    You know that you're driving a MkI when everyone else whinges about
    how heavy the steering is

    You know that you're driving a MkI when everyone else whinges about how the gearbox is like drawing straws

    You know that you're driving a MkI when you turn in 10 metres too early after jumping in any other car with powersteering

      you know you drive a mk1 when you dont neeed power steering!

      you knwo you drive a mk1 when all the other cars you drive have a clutch thats too fiddly and crap

      you know you drive a mk1 when you appreciate the feel and involvement of no power steering more than you could the ability to park without effort.

                            you know your driving a mk1 when u deliberately drop it back to second in the tunnel and mash the loud pedal to the floor just to hear that engine roar over and over again.

                            You know your driving a mk1 when you realise that you may have to actually slow down before the end of the tunnel to avoid the radar but your pedal is still on the floor from that last big stop 5 minutes ago.

                            You know your driving a mk1 when all the bogans mates in his v8ss laugh at him when he got smashed by a VOLKSEE

                            You know you love driving a mk1 when you keep 6 derelict mk1's under cover at the work shop as fixer uppers and refuse to part with them for any price
