When you don't have to slow for certain bends that others slow for (eg the bend over the bridge outside the zoo - 50km/h no worries, though the back end wants to skip a little).

When you drive it with engine braking because with 100% working brakes your avin ah laff...

When you dare to open the glove box, then it won't stay shut and loudly pops open going over every bump. Grrrrrrrr.

Its broken for a couple of weeks and when you get it back its just a great feeling to be on the road again, although was annoyed yesterday, car spotlessly clean and then the dust storm mate it look like a farmers field runabout !

50? Pshh! ...I mean, 'Hey that's a 40 zone!'.

Nah a 50 zone. I don't speed. And just the other side of the bridge is an intersection so wouldn't want to come on to it too fast in case some fool cuts you off.

Actually tonight I was behind other cars that didn't slow for that corner either so.... it's just fun in a MK1.

(A few years ago some lads took that corner way too fast and ended up in the river with fatal consequences.)
