You know you drive a MK1 Golf when you have to pull the top off the webbers to clean out the gunk EVERYTIME you fill up with petrol from the old Ampol servo leaving Sydney going south.

You know you drive a MK1 Golf when smoke starts coming from under the dash because of a short somewhere and while you're fixing it in heavy traffic the radio says someone has broken down on the same road you're on and blocking traffic and you look around to see where the idiot is.

You know you drive a MK1 Golf when your missus says she'll help grind the front calipers so you can fit the mags off her Gemini.

You know you drive a MK1 Golf when you're chasing an old hot Escort 2 Litre up a mountain pass and when you get to the top, while waiting for the Escort to catch up, you discover one of your rear tyres is flat and has been flat for the entire chase.

The car felt funny through right hand corners but could still be pushed hard.

Good news Robin!

That car turned out to be a rusty four door late model.

However today I purchased a tidy 78 GLD in green that I'm rather excited about. Picking it up next Sunday

Funny how a '76 2 door becomes an older 4 door

Congrats on the GLD. Golf diesels intrigue me for some reason.

you know you drive a mk1 when you miss driving it

-or when with a simple change of carby, it no longer works

-or whenever you see it in your driveway you feel guilty for NOT driving it that very second
