thought i'd kick start this thread again.....

You know you drive a Mk1 when people approach you in carparks wanting to tell you about one that they once owned and how they regret selling it.

You know you drive a Mk1 when even when it's covered with dust and spluttering up the street (been sitting in the shed for a year) people on the street are still checking it out.

You know you drive a mk1 when you want to change engines because solex carbies are a piece of ****

Seriously I have been using mine for post office runs and it is growing on me to the point I have actually started to "want" to work on it

hey guys thought i would add to the list,
When you buy a mk1 and then expect it to drive 80ks back to your house, fully prepared for it to break down many times and then you only break down 7times and run out of water twice. trying to get out of the way of the traffic on the m5 doing 120 and the only place you can go is on the inside medium strip where you have to try and start the damn thing after it stalled again and try to merge back into 120k traffic in the rain at 630 in the dark.

you know you own a mk1 when you actually have 2 so you can replace the crap bits from one with another.

you know you own a mk1 diesel when you drop your formal date off after the big night and leave her in a massive puff of black smoke.

You know you drive a schmick Mk1 when you drive past pedestrians with a very loud exhaust and they smile instead of glaring at you

You know you drive a Mk1 when after talking it up to a friend in the passenger seat, it will splutter and stall on cue.

[evorobin]

You know when keeping up with a sports car it blows steam and tells you that's enough

[Mischa]

[ontarv]

[Jarred]

you know you drive a mk 1 when you finally get it started and running at 4:30 to test drive for going out to dinner that night. 10m mins down the road, it unxcpectedly stalls at the lights and has to idle at 3000 rpm to stay alive.

You know you drive a mk1 when you are approaching a roundabout and suddenly the accelerator pedal drops to the floor and you instantly know that the accelerator cable has dropped off the pedal. Without hesitating you reach under the dash and drive through the roundabaout by pulling on the cable. The surrounding traffic does not even detect any change in your behaviour so accustomed are you to such things happening.
