When you slam too hard on the brake and you heel disappears through the floorpan!
Slight bit of welding this weekend!

Pull into the drive again, notice a little steem coming from the bonnet, pop the hood find a tiny leak of coolant spraying straight up into the air from the middle bottom water pump hose. Doh.. new coolant hoses are in order! Probably got a blockage somewhere..

When the car is in the garage and the whole house smells like fuel!

[ByronRichesMk1]

When you continuously, and unnoticeably drive around using only your low beams in your daily because they're the Golfs equivalents of high beams! (If you're lucky haha)

When you drive it, you just cant help but grin!

[gldgti]

When you have to take one for a drive, because you feel depressed about cutting one up for parts

[Ducky]

You know you drive a MK1 when you rip the sump plug out of the sump on a bitumen back road cause the suspension is stuffed. At least the smell of engine oil on the exhaust saved the motor.
