How often do u get stopped by admiring onlookers??
Obviously not admiring my good looks, I have taken my MK1 out on a hand full of occasions and have had 3 people go out of there way to comment and ask questions.
One guy waited in his car he said until i got back so he could have a word.
I do find it funny how people comment on it.
Does anyone else get it much and what sort of things have you been asked (keep em clean)?

Is it a 1.3, what a tool!! He must have been driving a Nova or a corsa.
I find that old blokes want to come and have a chat about when they used to own one and it got thieved, so they warn me to put an alarm on it and dont go on the rough side of town!!! Which side is that nowadays???

I'll lend you my black lab!..
We all make mistakes - i've been in your situation too and if i hadnt bothered trying things would be very different and lots of horrible things wouldnt have happened.. but let it make you stronger

i do miss going the walks, 3 miles in the morning and 5 miles on an evening , suprising how many other peple are out and about , not quite the same without a dog.
so when you bringing your lab ? got some great walks, one follows a canal which just happens to have a nice pub along the way.

We usually get a nod from other Golf drivers, normally
MK2`s / polos etc..
Slightly of subject, we have just had a vet bill for more
than my cars worth 8O (black Labrador needing an op).
Lovely dogs (I have 2) but expensive to repair.
