When you finally get to drive your car...and it just what you expect...FREAKEN AWESOME!

When you pass fellow dubbers at 170 on the freeway

When you feel good finding out the Mk1 GTI you sold 5 years ago is still on the road, looked after by someone who cares.

When you drive the golf on a hot day, park the car, run some errands and arrive back to find it has a flat battery.

Investing in a jumpstart pack later this afternoon........

[sports racer]

Wouldn't a new battery be more value?

Oh....wait......we're talking about MK1's.......yeah you're right, a jumpstart pack.

When you decide to drive it on a 38 degree day and feel like you are going to melt!

when you drive your mk1 and realise that your mk2 is some much nicer haha and then you drive your mk2 and realise your mk3 is about the same as your mk2 hahaha. but you still want to keep a mk1

[wilk]

you know you drive a Mk1 when your left hand has a cigarette while holding the wheel and the right hand has coffee while changing gears

[gldgti]

when its so low the wheels scrub the arches but you can still fit a jack under it, and you can't fit the jack under your perfectly driveable mk3

[mikinoz]

When every time you put your foot on the clutch the car stalls.

[Oneofthegreats]

Oh & it's slow!

[Brisben]

Mine is slow but very very low
