I don't know what it is, but I've got some kind of 6th sense that detects a cock from 500 yards away. You know, the idiot in the suped-up, but worthless car... you can see him saying "hey look, there's a new Golf GTI" to his mate. You know the kind I mean.
Well, what do they drive in the UK? Here in France, it's invariably some kind of Seat Ibiza Cupra TDI nonsense...
-
Focus ST - DayGlo orange
-
saxo VTR/VTS, corsa SRi/SXi, and then there are a few c0cks in scoobys.
-
Last night's c0ck was an N-reg Mitsi FTO that was falling apart.
Coloue: Primer gray from all the Cat-D accidents he no doubt had! :laugh:
Corsa
New drivers in 1.2's who think 85 isn't fast enough. :rolleyes:
Let 'em by then blow by them at 100+ (kph) :tongue:

Of course, I had forgotten that Chavs love Saxos in the UK. Kind of ironic really, as they don't command much street cred' here in France (where they were actually built)!

Anything driven by elderly looking fella in a trilby hat.............sorry dad :wink:
-
Any of the usual Type R's and Focus Sanitary Towels

Hate to say it... but recently its been MK3 gti's :lipsrsealed:

Good one, me too :grin:
-
I will also be on the look out for MK5 R32's.... i hate to say it but no matter how hard I push the Gti I dont think I would get close to my old car.. esp on the twisties. :lipsrsealed:
But I will be giving it a good shot anyway :evil: If not just to hear that glorious soundtrack!
-
GTIs with DSG.
Duck.....
-
At the moment I'm driving a Passat Estate - no one ever tries to race me. I feel so alone... :cry:

Offer them a reverse parking race :grin: :grin: :grin:
You will win that one hands down :laugh:

Chav barstewards in Astra SRi sporthatches. Totally do my brains in but I leave them staring at my exhaust fumes tho lol :laugh: :laugh:

Not sure if you meant weary as in faster cars or weary as in young lads in cars that are a bit 'wreckless'
If you mean faster cars I wouldnt be weary of anything much around the roads. Motorways, yep the Scooby's, some Audi's namely the RS's and S3, TTR's etc but I wouldnt seriously entertain them, I would just wind them up, will give em a less on after a remap though, as long as they aint remapped either lol.
If you mean the wreckless lads, I stay well clear of them.
-
Definately the wreckless lads, who want a GTI but their insurance quote would be £2,000+
-
i never bother with focus st's as invariably its some young (unt in a cap driving it - can't be bothered to race you mate, my car is better, more expensive and (now) quicker - so bore off.
i do enjoy mugging off the young lads in corsas/puntos/saxos on the motorways. but my favourite are the peugeot 206/306 brigade. hateful cars and you are a (unt if you drive one, particuarly if you're a bloke cause its a bird's car at best. they come up right behind me on the dual carriage way to work. i slow down. then i nail it cause i know they have the acceleration of a double decker bus. bye bye d1ckhead. :cool:
i had a 406 try to race me on the way home. bore off grandad. :grin:

Not sure if you meant weary as in faster cars or weary as in young lads in cars that are a bit 'wreckless'
Yes, I meant young idiots in sheds. Ironically, cars that are genuinely quicker than the GTI are usually driven by more sedate people.

WTF is an e34 M535i anyway? The only M535i I know of was the e28. The e34 535i put out the same hp (when new!) as the MkVI GTI, but weighed 200kg more... I rest my case.

the picture is an e28 you donut. it might have an extra kilo or two but it has a lsd and a driver that doesn't care too much if it gets scratched by the hedges. most mk6 gti owners will be driving to protect their paint.
edit wrt mgf/wheel off - at no point did a wheel come off the mgf, i pulled a tyre off the rim whilst going sideways. also NOT on a publicly owned road.

This is a very typical new car owner attitude. Dont understand history / classic cars / etc and dont know what theyre looking at half the time.
Just cos it doesnt look like its fast or cost the owner 25k + 3k a year depreciation, dont mean that it isnt any good :wink:
then again, i wouldnt expect a new audi rs4 driver to know what a rs2, URCQ is, so i guess its fair enough.
-
Some of us do know our onions :wink: I own quite a few old cars some dating back to the 50s
Im wary of chavs in there paxos, corsas and novas, BMW showoffs, mundano man, but especially Micra and Vulva drivers. Oh and mk5 GTI DSG owners who feel like they have something to proove :drool:

i'm more than appreciative of older cars. but that particular one is a piece of sh1t. in my humble opinion.

Troll - In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[2]
Do you live under a bridge??

Defo the boy racer as descibed below. (Came across this on the internet, a good description I think.)
Boy Racer
Main use for car: Driving around town centres, music blaring big bore um... boring. Sitting in local car parks. Visiting local "cruises".
Primary styling mods: Styling mods purchased with no consideration for the car's aesthetics as a whole. Stupid spoilers, bad bodykits. Bodged installation. Car says "look at me, I'm fast" but is probably sh!t.
Primary performance mods: Whatever they can get their hands on. May not be expertly installed.
Usual car models: Cheap usually low-powered models. 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 litre engines, sometimes larger if the boy racer thinks they can afford the insurance. Mods often make them look worse than standard.
Driving style: "Pedal to the metal" on public roads. Erratic driving in public car parks. Not all that much driving skill.
Car Modifier
Main use for car: "Track days", where a car is put through its paces on a race course, or normal driving.
Primary styling mods: Subtle styling blending in with the aesthetics of the car. Not too OTT. Time and care taken installing mods. Car says "if you know about cars, you know I'm nice"
Primary performance mods: Primarily safety and handling mods. Performance mods aren't used dangerously.
Usual car models: Can be any size car but usually decent cars in their own right sans modification.
Driving style: Careful on public roads, but not averse to driving fast at special events.

Why don't you set up your own forum and keep your wise a67e cracks out of ours!!!

No standard GTI's of any MK frankly, you wanna watch out for me mwahahahahaha!
Did a MKV up to 90 recently and owned one on a trackday at silverstone. :evil:
Edit: And before anyone points it out I know it doesn't really count as mine is not even close to a daily but it still makes me laugh when my 23 year old "Shed" gives them a few surprises.

I'm always wary of Golf Mk V 2.0 diesels :grin:
Had one or two young male drivers (probably company car drivers who could'nt have a GTi) trying to prove a point against my previous Gti and current R32.
They're quite quick once on the move, but are put in their place away from a standstill :laugh: :drool:

I've not got mine yet, but lately I've been thinking cars I would be wary of are definitely the kind with blue flashing lights and "POLICE" written on the side of them. I would be like "Have I any wool? Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full sir"
-
Back on topic...
Police generally :D
can't believe I got to page 6 and nobody had said it
-
I do most of my driving on rural roads.
The cars I dread are townies.
They drive so slowly, so far from the hedge, and speed up in villages.
Manchester reg saloon cars are worst.
-

When I started thinking about a new car in June, it was the ST I was attracted to first.
I'm so glad I had second thoughts. I love my Golf to bits. :smiley:

but my favourite are the peugeot 206/306 brigade. hateful cars and you are a (unt if you drive one, particuarly if you're a bloke cause its a bird's car at best. they come up right behind me on the dual carriage way to work. i slow down. then i nail it cause i know they have the acceleration of a double decker bus. bye bye d1ckhead. :cool:
Well, I'm a bird so I'll forgive you. But I loved that car. (The Peugeot 306 GTi-6 I took the scrappage deal on to buy the Golf.) :cry: :cry:
11 and a half years, 120,000 miles, and an absolute cracker.
Only the Golf GTi could reconcile me to parting with it.

That depends if you are driving them or getting chased by them! :evil:

Erm, I certainly know what came out of Zuffenhausen, :wink: and am also deeply impressed with the original Coupe Quattro. Many moons ago, one of my mates used to have a urCQ, and he'd regularly cane me in my SuperMirafiori TwinCam. :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

Oh dear, what does that say about our RedRobin? :cry:

It's great that the older GTI users on this forum are opinionated gits.
No dementia here.
The VW GTI DSG (much brisker than the clutched model in real life) is perfect for fast driving oldsters.
It's just a shame the younger never never boys are such sheep.

Well I hope it's not one of these....
http://cms.met.police.uk/news/policy_organisational_news_and_general_information/met_lamborghini_on_show
Cos if it's got DSG I think I'm gonna be totally screwed. If it hasn't got DSG I think I'll be fine. The copper will never work out how to use the clutch in that thing.... right?
*edit* they are hella cool Police cars
they use them in Italy too, which is kinda unsurprising since they are Italian cars...
