you know it's a mk1 when you pull up at sainsbury's and have a very angry man in a mk4 r32 (who couldn't shake you no matter how hard he tried, eventually culminating in you going past him on the inside of a bend he had to brake heavily for,)demands to see what you have under the bonnet.

You know it's a 5dr 1.1 formel E when he appears to struggle to hold back tears of embarrassment when he sees the totally standard engine bay, slams his car door and storms off into the shop, avoiding you down every aisle.
