Tax on mine runs out end of October so I have just enough time to take him to the Malvern Classic in a couple of weeks. Also gives me just enough time to clear my dads garage before it goes in there over the winter.
During that time I have a 3-page list of little jobs to sort out, ranging from fixing door handles to clay-baring. Thankfully nothing too serious just yet

I run mine through rain and shine mate, not snow though . I've got another car but just can't resist driving it so will only take it off the road if I've got work to do on it.

mine sounds a bit nasty if you jack one wheel up and spin its a bit crunchy when it takes up the slop in the system. (once the slops been taken up its fine but its that inital play thats worrying)

Mines' used all year round, but not often if you know what I mean.
With a choice of van, car, motorbike and bicycle my daily transport varies. Usually it's cycle all year round, motorbike on rainy days and the Golf when i want to drive for fun

Mines on the road throughout winter. Despite being polished to death through summer, it gets used whatever the weather is.
We can hardly have a NW meet without any mk1's turning up can we?

I've met you mate and have to say you didn't look that old. :mrgreen:
I have a second car with all the toys and crap that take the fun out of driving too but just can't be without the MK1. I certainly couldn't go all winter without driving it!
