You know you have a Mk2 when it doesn't go into limp mode (Roly excluded lol)

you know you have a mk2 ibiza when it spends more time in the workshop than it does on the road

you know you have a mk2 ibiza when you could have used all the money you've spent on it to buy a 3 bedroom house

you know you have a mk2 ibiza when it spends more time in the workshop than it does on the road
