You know you drive a mk1 when it threatens to run out of electricity when you have the indicator, heater and headlamps on at the same time.

You know you drive a mk1 when you value simple luxuries like a working fuel gauge and dash lights.

You know you drive a mk1 4 speed when after 6 months of ownership, you STILL go for 5th on highways.

You no your driving a mk1 when you turn a corner and the horn comes on and stays on!
You no your driving a mk1 twin engine when you use a full tank of feul up in less than 100kms and you cant help but grin for the rest of the week!
You no your driving a mk1 when your mk2 seems so much more refined...
You no your driving a mk1 when it just dies at the traffic lights at the most terrible time in the worst possible place with traffic banked up behind beeping there horns!
You no your driving a mk1 when it finally starts up at the lights again and you leave the bogans in the commadore laughing next to you in your dust!!! HE HE

Pics of the twin eng are in the gallery section allready, though only when i had four down draft 40mm webbers. I am still saving up for two full sets of forged internals to handle the garrett GT 28/35r turbos that i have for it..

You know you are building a mk1 when you cant resist sneaking out to the shed to stand an look at it - even though it's -4 and everyone else, including the Malamute has gone inside.
