You know you drive a Mk1 when you tell people that you run on VW time, which is approximately 30mins to 3hours after I say I'll be there...

You know you drive a Mk1 when it starts to cough and splutter and you know exactly what's wrong, what tools you need and how long it's going to take to fix it.

You know you drive a mk1 when it leaks water on your leg in the rain, but you just smile and turn on the heater.

You know you drive a mk1 when it crackles and pops sitting at the lights, and one lady in particular shakes her head in disgust (turns out the vac line had just fallen off )

When competing in the world's slowest drag race with a fellow mk1 driver, and you can't see the cars lining up behind you due to the smoke you're both making

[sports racer]

You want the world's slowest drag race? I was sitting at the lights next to a bus and the road ahead merged into 1 lane after 100 metres.

I did him but it was real close and I think the bus driver backed off so we wouldn't hit each other. Longest 15 seconds of my life.

Mind you I was in a 1948 Wolseley 680 at the time. Can't believe the English police used them as pursuit vehicles in the 50's.
