It's the CAR that makes me look good.
You know you've been driving a mk1 too long when there is nothing on TV (again) so you go and wash the car.
You should drink more water.
1664 is 95% water.
Drink more beer?

I have to set myself a reminder on my phone on those dark winter mornings when you set out in the dark and arrive in the light!!
… When you have two breakdown policies just incase !
… when you carry a towel in the back to cover your soaking wet seats
… when everything in the last 13 pages is true and you still can't bare to part with her!

Ah, I know your pain… post new hood on my cabbie meant a selection of towels to save my backside and two malteaser buckets to catch the drips!

You know your a (late) Mk1 (cabbie) owner when you get really irritated everytime you go to a motor factors and have to explain like this
"Its for a 1990 mk1 golf Gti Cabriolet…"
"yes it is a 1990…"
"Yes I'm absolutly sure its a 1990…"
"No… its not a mk2…"
"no its not a 16v!…"
"Ah, but they carried on making the cabriolet see…"
"No honestly, I don't care what your computer is telling you its a bloody mk1!!!…"
Then having to go back a few days later as the parts are wrong!

As a laugh, you'd think that folks would learn about the perils of running that brake bar across the bulkhead. I was looking under the bonnet of the O/H Ford Ka and low and behold… guess what system they have… and the brakes are even worse!

When you arrive somewhere after driving through dusk/dark, park the car, lock it, walk away and proudly look back at the car.
Then realise you've left the lights on and there's no warning buzzer, so you have to go back and switch them off.
SOO TRUE HAVE DONE IT DOZENS OF TIMES OVER THE YEARS LOL

Be careful if you get to drive a new car - it could give you whip lash the first try of the brakes 8O
i drove my cabby last weekend for about 250 miles, and then on monday morning when i drove the audi, it was totally different, i did have whiplash. 8O 8O 8O
