When your mates get out the car and knock off the plastic cover on the seat tilting mechanism and then you prceed to make them feel guilty even though it happens all the time!

When you realise after buying parts and spending the majority of your time VW/Audi delareaships (because your avoiding using the pricks in the Seat parts department) that your car was actually made by some spanish idiot let loose on the VW parts bin.

When your listening to your second gearbox go bang on the motorway leaving you stuck in fifth coming onto a rounabout,

When your fitting your third gearbox and clutch and buying a fourth to put on stanby,

When fitting new clutch cables,

When you have to put the window down to open the door from the outside cause the door handle snapped,

When you throtle jams wide open,

When my exhaust thumps the bottom of the car when i turn left and go straight,

When your passenger side door lossens itself,

When it turns better to the left than right,

When you are forced to follow every rut in the road,

When it leans to one side,

When my side repetors fall off,

When i cant find any alloys to fit,

When i find myself stoping at every dealership i pass looking for a new car,

When it looks so good in the sun light,

When you smoke the wee chav in the corsa.

when your front engine mount snaps causing yur starter motor to jam!
when your glove box handle snaps off in your hand!
when your climate control has a mind of its own!

you know you have a mk3 ibiza cupra when you fold the front seat forward to put something on the back seat and the seat slams back down and traps you! haha.

...when the engine management light comes on and goes off as it pleases..

...when the volume control...dont get me started! haha.
..when you are so anal about it getting dirty you can't possible park it under a tree, or anywhere near anyone else in a carpark incase they open their car door on it!

these things aside, puts a smile on my face every time i see mine!
