Your neighbor asks if it is going to start today, then it doesn't.

You get it started go to get some lunch, and then it won't start.

You still plan on doing a road trip in the said car tomorrow to Canberra!

You drive 300km in one go and get out feeling like you have driven it in a mkv!

When the guy at the local 7-eleven says "cool car, it's a classic" and you, being the mk1 fan you are, take him seriously and give him a sincere reply which outlines the full range of key mk1 features ... then realise, with disappointment, when you're back there the next time that in fact he was just hitting on you and was probably not remotely interested in the car

Depending on your gender will make this either funny or creepy.

Anyway - I love your classic MK1!

You know your driving a Mk 1 when you blow away lardy late model Golfs

You know your driving a Mk 1 when you can run like the Flintstones through the rust in the floorpan. ( took me over 10 cars to find a good one).

When the sun shade flips down every time you floor it!

You make a start on replacing your 30 odd year old tie rod ends to discover the factory swaged the left hand one on to the steering arm.
