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

To be fair to the MK1 one it is not her fault. I have three cars and the current call out score for this year is:

Saab 93 - 2 call outs
Renault Clio - 1 call out
Mk1 - 1 call out.

It could be worse when not too far from home I have used the Saab to tow the other two home!

4 is not that bad, a guy I used to know had a cr@ppy old B reg' @str@ and he must of had them out between 8-10 times he got charged a fair bit towards the end of the year - thing was he had a big stereo which drained the battery all the time, besides its overheating problems and general poor condition, he wasn't the AAs favorite customer :roll:

When your dash wiring loom sets itself on fire 8O  :cry:

And when you carry half you garage around inside the car, along with a spare charged battery, jump leads, and a fire extinguisher!

when you polish it all day, without having a garage , and you KNOW its going to rain and ruin it just hours later, and then you call that a day off.

I havent got myself a mk1 yet,but can not wait to have one sat outside the house,working or not!.ooh i can feel my life being taken over soon..  

ooh i can feel my life being taken over soon

You've got no idea!

Give your self over to the Dark Side…

When you sit for 30 minutes reading 8 pages of this thread and can relate to most of them

Another entry on my post count :wink:

Hello All. I find the most common problem others have with my Mk1 is when they try to get out and cant figure out how to undo the seatbelt, they can never find the release button so i end up having to do it for them. ha. Another common problem is at this time of year when the sun is going down i put my lights on and passengers think i only have my sidelights on, ha. "Im quite used to my candle lights thanyou very much" i reply. Joking aside i wouldnt swop my Mk1 for all the tea in china!!

When you arrive somewhere after driving through dusk/dark, park the car, lock it, walk away and proudly look back at the car.

Then realise you've left the lights on and there's no warning buzzer, so you have to go back and switch them off.

Too true mate,done it the other day in mc donalds. :cry:  :wink:

Say it loud!  I do the same at least once a week.

When spare parts cost more than a flaming new car!

when you spend more time in your car then at home or at work!

when as soon as you get paid from work the money goes towards MORE new parts for the golf…even if you DONT have a drivers licence and the car doesnt move (legally)
