I miss my mk1!

Mine's currently in the bodyshop until Saturday (getting rear tidied up and stonechips on the doors etc). I'm borrowing a brown 2000 reg Fiesta 1.25 as a courtesy car…I miss my mk1!!! This Fezza has 50,000 on the clock, but it might aswell be 150,000. The road noise is weird, the dash lights are already malfunctioning and it's generally dire!  :cry: Considering it's nearly two decades the Golf's junior it's not too good! There's even rust on the back arch. I forgive the old ladies who usually drive these for fannying about…it actually makes you drive worse!  
Rant over…roll on Saturday!  :roll:

P.S - no offence to anyone who owns a Fezza! Not many I expect.

lol I have not drove my golf for 2months!!!!! i have been driving a honda jazz or a honda Jizz as i like to call it and a new 1.4 16v golf mk4 oh sweet baby jesus they are slow!!!! I have finally, FINALLY fixed my beast so i am back on the road!! and it runs sooooooo sweet compared to all that modern stuff good to be back i say! I feel your pain diesel dubber!!!

I'm in the same boat! my car is at the garage being tuned and they've (very kindly) lent me a Rover 200 1.4 (I think) 16v.

Absolutely dire! but 1 thing it has done is made me realise just how quick my mk1 is! I was a bit fed up with the mk1 after spending countless hours on it but now I'm really looking forward to getting it back!

It'll all be worth it in the end just hang in there!

I feel for you guys, at least i have another Dub if either of mine need working on 8)  i couldnt bare the pain of driving anything else!

I dont like the fezza's either. They are crap in my opinion, know a few people to have them and not been happy.

just drove mine to get its MOT today after being off the road for 2 months nd it felt soooo good........i love my mk1!

i know what you mean, mine has been parked up since january, using a mk2 gtd as my daily but miss not using a mk1. even been known to go and sit in my mk1 with a cuppa when i need a bit of peace & quiet.

Congrats on the MOT Russ.

I've been driving my girlfriend's Pug 106 while mine's in the garage. Dare I say it, I actually enjoyed it a little bit. ops:

Very chuckable

Aaaannnd before I stir up a hornets nest of begrudged GTI drivers - I'm not knocking the golf's handling… it's just I drive a clipper and I'm scrawny as you like.  :mrgreen:

That is all.

Did you tell her you've been thrashing her beloved car about like a man possessed  :twisted:

Ha ha I did nearly buy a 106 last year (long before I got the golf)!

The car was with Tinkler Brothers in Ramsey which is near Huntingdon. Out of convenience initially because it's about 5 doors down from my house, but it turned out they're actually very very good. Really good guys, not the usual rusty spanner type at all. Always listen to what you've got to say and then offer advice rather than just diving in and charging you for stuff you didn't know you needed!

Oh and they almost always squeeze me in at short notice - got the fuel tank off and cleaned and back on in 2 days amongst all their other work. Couldn't ask for more really!

Much better than the garage I used to take my fiat to - came back with a dent in the sump made by a trolley jack no less.
