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

"Thank you darling - a replacement fuel filler neck. Tell you what, seeing as though I drive a Fiat rollerskate, why don't you have it and I'll buy myself something?"

…When you have to slow down to below 40mph when your mobile rings, otherwise they can't hear you, and you can't hear them…

…when everyone in the car panics about the sudden loud banging that's reverberating through the whole car, but you reassure them, saying that it's only a few cats-eyes…

When the RAC recovery chap nows your first name and needs no directions to your house...... :wink:

:lmao:
 :clap:
Oh yes!

They actually work really well, and you dont have the metal clip on the belt to hit the door with when you undo them - handy when your door is painted rather than all plasticy like new cars.
I like them but didn't realise that the passenger one is starting to go a browny colour on half of it? :?

When the lid is permanently left off the big jar of Swarfega next to the sink.

When you are more knackered on a Sunday night after a weekend of working on the car than a Friday night after a week's job work.

When you have to plan guest's staying around how many parts you have in the spare bedroom at the time.

When someone sez "That cars older than you 8O "

.... when you spend the weekend cleaning and polishing it even though its SORN and its been in storage for two years....

When you lose all of your family and friends and nobody loves you anymore, not even your dogs…..You get a nasty, sweaty foot fungus that spreads slowly up your legs to your mushy flat backside due to sitting down doing nothing but post on here! I WANT MY LIFE BACK!

DREW PWEEASE WEWEASE WALT! 8O

I heard of this before but thought they told you if you call them again they will charge :dontknow: . I also know they charge if you call them out on a flat battery twice on the same car - which is fair enough in a way.
I had RAC membership for a while now and i've used it a few times but never on the mk1, (Impreza twice and the mk3 golf once)
