Ah yes, the joys of owning a small car and having everyone else constantly trying to run you off the road. :grin:

Yep, that literally happens every day to me at the moment, and I've been there and done that when I was younger - I don't want to go back!  Also, it's the not being able to do anything about it and submissively moving out of the way to sh!te cars that gets me!  :grin:

Thanks guys. Also does the media system require te SD card to be formatted in a certain way like the audi RNS-e system used to require.

I can't say for the GTI/GTD, but I didn't have to do any formatting for it to work in the mk 7 Golf I have currently - there's no reason why the GTI/GTD should be any different.

Did you ever post any pictures of your current courtesy ride Mark? :evil:

I didn't - but only because A. It's embarrassing driving a 1.2 Golf S with 85bhp  :laugh: and B. No one in their right mind would want to see pictures of said car!  :grin:

It has no redeeming features other than its a Golf (so well made) and the album artwork on screen is cool!  So what I'll do is double the amount of pictures of my GTI to make up for it - that's if it ever arrives (11 days at Emden car park and counting....  :rolleyes:)

Must be broken... My mk5 1.4s was much quicker than my GTI!! :lipsrsealed:

Especially if you add a few extra badges to them.  Like an M badge nicked from an M3 you saw in the local tesco car park for example:



On the A421 in Bedfordshire there used to be this chap in a paint stained polo shirt, a sideways baseball cap and with his seat leaning back at about a 60° angle who would zoom his rusty white astra van past the mile long rush hour queue as if he was going to turn right at the roundabout and then would aggressively force his way into the queue at the other side.

Total wayne kerr.  Drove like a complete asshole too, all over the road, tailgating, reving, dangerous overtaking, blaring music... everything you could possibly do that is wrong this guy would be doing it.  I once got so sick of him I followed him to his home/work (hard to tell) in Kempston and snapped a few photos with the intention of forwarding them to the fuzz.  I didn't bother in the end as he'd been driving like this for years and its clear the police didn't give a damn.

Of topic again... my bad.

The biggest risk with a site like that anyone might browse through and find themselves amongst pics on there.

I go out of my way to try and stop people jumping queues like that, sometimes it seems a bit of a risk when they are determined to find a gap smaller than the space between 2 sheets of paper.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

I do the same.  If there's 2 lanes of traffic going into 1 and you can see everyone queuing politely in the left lane then some ar$ehole speeds up the outside, I'll pull into the middle to block him off.  To be fair a lot of people do this and I applaud it! 

Usually BMW drivers cutting the queue.....  :lipsrsealed: :laugh:
