[greasykitchen]

you know you own a mk1 when you spend more time fixing its little problems than driving it

Ha! Speak for yourself!

No, seriously, that sucks.

[thestu]

when you have pulled out and put back in your gearbox 3 times in a week has been at home more than been driven. Gay!

I had an old guy stop me in the swervo the other day, telling me old mk1 days.... First time it has happened over here in Australia, most take the piss.

Little do they know....

Anyway I washed mine last night, cleaned the rims and painted calipers. cleaned out inside, just a quick emptying of mcdonalds wrappers etc.

you know you drive a mk1 golf when the high beam is the same as the headlights

you know you drive a mk1 golf when everybody says its sweet

you know you drive a mk1 golf when nobody knows what its called

you know you drive a mk1 golf when you can't find any parts in Sydney

you know you drive a mk1 golf when a fat bloke sits in the passenger seat and the car tilts sideways

[thestu]

Your neighbor asks if it is going to start today, then it doesn't.

You get it started go to get some lunch, and then it won't start.

You still plan on doing a road trip in the said car tomorrow to Canberra!

You drive 300km in one go and get out feeling like you have driven it in a mkv!

When the guy at the local 7-eleven says "cool car, it's a classic" and you, being the mk1 fan you are, take him seriously and give him a sincere reply which outlines the full range of key mk1 features ... then realise, with disappointment, when you're back there the next time that in fact he was just hitting on you and was probably not remotely interested in the car

Depending on your gender will make this either funny or creepy.

Anyway - I love your classic MK1!

Golf Mk 1

You know your driving a Mk 1 when you blow away lardy late model Golfs

You know your driving a Mk 1 when you can run like the Flintstones through the rust in the floorpan. ( took me over 10 cars to find a good one).

[Inksta]

When the sun shade flips down every time you floor it!

You make a start on replacing your 30 odd year old tie rod ends to discover the factory swaged the left hand one on to the steering arm.
