What is your Mk 1 for?

[hiho]

Hi everyone,

When I first got started with Mk1's they were still frequently seen out and about. Where have they all gone?? Are they on bocks at pickapart, in your garage being prepped for the track, do you only drive yours on the weekend or do you drive it daily? No doubt some of you have bought newer VW's. So if you're on this thread I assume you have or have had a Mk1. Whats yours for?

When I had it running - it was used to make me smile. Even if my day was going really bad, i'd take her for a spin and it would make everything better.

The kids taxi
Trailer donkey
Track and skidpan mobile

The wife hates it, and...

It is a source of great pleasure for me. Love it!

My MK1 will be for three wheeling and/or sump smashing.

Seriously though, it's just sitting in the back of the yard to piss off my old man.

Is there anything they cant do?

For the last 7 months ours has been towing a trailer back and forth the 300 kms to hamilton while i renovate my house. Back seat removed for extra haulage space. Always makes me smile when the 1.5D does the (metric) tonne.
