Is it just the two mk2 GTI's I've owned, or is the clutch throw reallllly long?

You know your old when you park your hatch back so the tyres touch the concreet stopper!
I smashed a few lips because of thouse things.

You know you drive a MK2 when your 20 year old Golf is half the size/weight of a brand new GTI, yet still has a similar sized engine (minus a turbo and some valves

)
Honestly, look at the above photo's, those new GTI's are soooo FAT!!!

Haha i find the things in this thread so funny because driving my MK 2 is like a little piece of luxury compared to driving my pre 65 severely slammed Volkswagens. I do find that GTI's are attracted to me in carparks, always brings a smile to my face.

You know you drive a MK2 when you can't find for the life of you where that bloody rattle is coming from in the hatch area

You know you drive a MK2 when your power steering cuts out on rainy days

You know you drive a MK2 when your battery light comes on when it's wet

You know you drive a MK2 when your right front indicator keeps cutting out all the time despite nothing appearing to be wrong!!!

PS: if anyone can diagnose those problems, let me know! LOL

Hey Miss Vdub.

Yeah you can fix the power steering failing in the wet.

There is a cover that goes underneath the belts that stops water splashing up and making them slip.

Otherwise cut up an ice cream container and it will do just as well
