Went for a meal with my girlfriends parents today, topic of the the conversation landed on my mk1 and the work that has to be done to it. My girlfriends dad said "Why don;t you sell it and get something newer with less work to be done?" I tried not to laugh loudly in his face, i honestly did try.

If only he knew how f**kin cool mk1s are. Oh and he drives a Rover 25.

I think the problem lies with the type of people that make these comments. They use a car to get from A to B.

WHERES THE FUN IN THAT!

My cars for driving not getting from a to b! Sometimes i just drive cos i want to.

Im with ya on that one, i used to come home cross country from college just so i could have some fun and take my mind off every thing.

Its the best thing to do when your felling sh!t, get in the car, find those wonderful b-roads, and put the boot in, your toubles will just fly past!

Just watch out for b!tch slow, tractors, the easiest way to test your emergancey stops!

I have to be honest I get some stick off mi mates all the time (but if they knew anything about anything they'd be dangerous!!!!) stuff like, "why do you spend your money on that when you could have a new one?" ........ simple really mate, they the grand daddy of all hot hatches n don't look like your driving some bubble wrap with wheels. I had to cringe when I went to the barbers to get the wig trimmed with my mate, we pulled up in the cab outside (nice sunny day, car looking phat!!!) when i got in the chair (mate in the chair at the side of me) the barber turned round to me and said "f***ing nice car mate, i've always wanted one of those" my mate nearly fell off his seat.    needless to say the hairdresser comments haven't stopped!!!

Still nothing looks like them and they have that retro cool look, and lets face it, they DO turn heads in the summer!!!!... suppose it's what ever lights your candle........ am toying with the idea of an Elise next (wouldn't mind something with a little more poke), or maybe in addition too 

sportline_velly> scooby chasing?? Good god you must have modded ya motor as mine just cowers at lights when there's a scooby there, there's no point even trying in mine!!!! I just reassure myself by saying that they aint built for speed... your sportline gives them a go does it??? if so NICE WORK!!!!!

Cheers guys

Same story here!

If I had a quid every time some friend or relative has said Why don't you get a new car? or 'Why do you keep throwing money at it? I would be very rich.

Firstly, I can't think of a new car that compares or looks as good and I spend money on it because it's a classic and I love it to bits. As it's already been pointed out, it will be around for years after the Saxo's of this world have disappeared.

For a car that's got its roots in a 30 year old design I still think it stands head and shoulders above the majority of today's bland offerings.

On a summers day, it's priceless.

Funny enough I've been getting the p1ss taken out of mine today, saying I'm a freak and into max power. Tried to explain, but they just didn't want to listen
