You know you've been driving a mk1 too long when...

when u get in the other halfs car and he goes" listen to that noise"
WHAT noise? i didn't even know it was running!!

when you get in another car and turn the steering wheel slightly and end up with full lock

when you get in another car and select third before first because the gear selector is nackered in the mk1

when you get asked repeatedly why there is a clock below the dash; relay numbers through the lower dash tray

when you just know it will take them ages to work out how to undo the seatbelt

when your mate gets in and says 'bloody hell john, might aswell be sat on the road'

when you know you can scare the hell out of your boy racer mate on a double roundabout in 2nd gear, sideways

when you walk away backwards, everytime

when driving to work/the shop is no longer a chore

when your dad asks how many miles it is doing to the gallon and you tell him you are scared to know



"it actually has a cd player?!"
"why has it got danish plates?"
"it's bumpy"
"you've spent how much?!"

& when another vw driver flashes or waves and your mates ask if you know them and you just say no and smile like a cheshire cat

I moved the staff car across the work car park  the other day and hit the steering wheel HARD.  ops:

I always get the "Why do you have Dutch plates on?"

LOL

when you have to pull over through laughing when the passenger seat carrying your GF has fallen of the runner for the 3rd time in 20miles

when you stop to let out a passenger and you quickly have to wind your window up to stop them from slamming the door too hard.

I had the "Is this car registered in Germany, Sir..?"    ops:

John, so true about the seatbelts, and Wooders - especially the brakes in Skodas - yikes!  I'm fine though, I've got the steering wheel.. it's my boss who I'm taking to the train station who hits the glove compartment!!

104. When you get in a new car and when you get to a red light, think  "it probably just conked out cos I broke a bit too sharply coming up to the lights…" only to discover, it is infact still running, you just can't hear it! (for me, going 'eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee')

HAHA, going to get thrown out the library!

when every body thinks it's always broken down because you can't stop tinkering with it.

when everyone you know asks how the car is… before they ask how you and the family are.
 
well little red is THE only topic worth talking about anyway!

i've got one and i dont think its just my car.

when your mate in the back seat asks what the red light flashing on the dash is and you calmly reply "oh thats my mini disco light" or "no worries just the oil light the sensors been shot for years the buzzer will tell me when to stop"

or when you best mate rips the fabric off your rear seat because he cant find the seatbelt lock.
i never have the seats down to carry things im just playing or cleaning under it or something.

i think i've said well over half the things in this thread more than once.

when you consider the big white letters in the middle of the roadsaying SLOW, as a green light to load the right foot, as there's likely a tight bend coming.

When you start rallying on a Welsh Mountain!
