Title: Tailgated by other GOLFS!!!
Post by: mboon on 07 August 2010, 19:18
today I went on a 10 mile drive and had three golfs all right up my ass, one must of been no more than 6 inchs away when he turned off!

Had two MK2's and one MK4 all right up my back box!!! What do they achieve by it! Do they really want to race and prove whos thingy is bigger or something?

Anyone else get this?

They can't catch up to me, plus I drive in the middle the road with no lights upto a bollard then swarve at the last minutes "I love the smell of burning rubber and brakes in the morning"  :evil:

little tab of the left foot braking, just to freak them out. Or failing that a full on emergency stop for that "child that darted out".
They sh!t themselves either way you achieve the desired result. If they run into you, it's their fault, free respray. :cool:

Or don't drive like an old lady.

true, there is driving like an old lady and driving sensible.
When the time is right the car will be driven hard, but when your stuck behind someone going slow and no where safe to overtake you have to just stay put.

I dont get why golfs tailgate another golf? do they want to try and prove who has the quickest golf or something?

Absolutely, however if you look above that you'll see the reference to dab of brakes usually reminds people of their braking distances. Short of being drunk and reversing into someone you them if they go into the back of you, it's their fault. Obviously you can't legistlate for all the knob heads on the road but I doubt it has much to do with driving a Golf and more to do with them being knobheads.

See most people with Golfs don't tail me as they know they'll probs get schooled!. Done my mates Mk4 1.8T GTi without a struggle so mainly only get stupid nippers in Corsa sat up my ass.. I just go real slow round a corner then hammer it away and then they don't bother. Best thing to do cos you don't need to go over 60 to lose them ;)

I doubt it... It's a 2.2 Turbo... so 0-30 is crap... 30-50 is blistering quick

Performance S2 Coupe (In Stock 230BHP)  Mines Been Chipped and is pushing 280BHP
0-50 mph 4.2
0-62 mph (0-100 km/h), s 5.9
0-70 mph, s 7.5
30-50 mph (3rd gear), s 3.8
30-50 mph (4th gear), s 5.0
50-70 mph (3rd gear), s 3.6
50-70 mph (4th gear), s 4.1
50-70 mph (5th gear), s 4.8

Could be but I've never heard that quote before...

Problem with turbo cars is the turbo dont kick in till 2.5k RPM by which time you are nearly doing 30 anyway....
