Now this is a very interesting question and has a very simple answer as far as I am concerned.
The cars and members in the other sections are of no real interest to me.
The guys and gals in this section provide me with all the information and support I need. They are extremely knowledgeable, are not overtly arrogant and don't have an axe to grind. I feel safe in the knowledge that they have my best interests at heart. They are also very kind and great fun.

Bit rude Am1w
A cut above the rest? Have I read that wrong or are you labelling all the other owners on the site inferior to mk6 owners?
I just think you lot stay mostly in here as you discuss issues more based around new car ownership such as finance, deals, options and lead times which don't really apply to the rest of us. Was the same with MK5 , will be the same with MK7!

To show how flexible and accepting I am or should I say we are, I'll modify my post. :kiss:
-
Some of the topics dicussed in the mk6 forum could be moved, may help them mix a bit more. :grin:

Yes agree there Phil, there are a lot of repetitive issues coming up ie tyres, alloys , lights?? Name just a few?? :smiley:

I do! :wink: :cool:

^^^^Asker you have got lots to say and are very supportive to mk6 boys, and your knowledge is invalulable to other members on the forum?? :smiley:
-
I do! :wink: :cool:
I don't because I am a bit lazy probably and find it hard enough to keep pace with the members in this section. Call me old fashioned. :wink:

Steve, you are too kind. I don't consider myself that highly and have learnt so much from you guys. I am still a bit of a novice (with too many posts, most of them rubbish probably) and once I have found my feet, will venture slowly into other sections. I will probably get shouted down as they are not used to me and my many peccadilloes as you guys are, so I am a bit wary at present.
-
Are there other sections?! ;)
On a serious note, and being a noob to this forum, I have browsed about. Thing is, if my question relates to a Mk6, then this really is the best place. You guys seem to be about all the time and it helps maintain sanity.
Maybe I should post in the Mk4 section to keep my GT TDI from taking revenge ....

Wow, now I realise why I don't come into this section very much!
Personally I find this the most boring section of the entire site, it's just a big willy waving contest over 'storage packs' and 'luggage nets', not to mention the tedious petrol vs diesel and which colour is better arguments. :rolleyes:

I don't mind where people go....I am known to spam all the boards! :laugh:
I do think the mk6 section is currently better than the old mk5 section lot who didn't venture out of the section and the got the hump and made there own forum :lipsrsealed:
-
I do go into other sections as much as this one. Some may even notice my join date is way before the mk6 even existed. :wink:

We are all very versatile and our love will blossom for one another for ever and ever 'til death do us part. :kiss: :grin:
-
I do, not got anything to say in the other mk sections but off topic is always good for a laugh and the detailing section is helpful.
-
I spend around 40% of my time in the MK6 section and the rest mooching around the other parts of the forum, There's some great stuff in the other sections no matter what your creed, car or religion.
Go mk6'ers and never look back :-)

I was being kind and considerate but fortunately or unfortunately those words struck a cord. As ever, the pen is mightier than the sword! :cool:

Having owned a mk5 I like a sneaky peek at the mk5 section..... I also have a soft spot for the looks of the ED30's.

Was it MK1 golfs are a cut above the rest or was it MK2 big bumper valver? :undecided:
-
Neither. Just the members on the Mk6 forum. You included now: Doc! :grin:

FYI I have been scouring the planet for a really nice MK2 big bumper valver and have been for some time plus have a few other "nice" VAG bits n bobs in my garage :-)

I like reading the other sections but I very rarely if ever contribute to them. In most cases I know very little about the topic (older Mks) but also because a lot of topics/posts on this site usually end up way off topic in an argument. :shocked:

Well I joined to use the Mk3 section, long before my Mk6 came along.
I still use the Mk3 section, and have a mooch at the General, Off-topic and Detailing sections...and sometimes the Mk5 section.
The rest I rarely go into because I have no direct interest...which seems pretty logical to me, and something i'm struggling to find is a problem for people.

Ess3 , it's not a problem for me I was just curious why a lot of the mk6ers don't venture out of this section ?? All I am trying to is encourage people to get out a bit :grin:

Being a relative newbie to the forum, I tend to only read the MK6 pages as they have info which is relavant to the car I drive. A lot of the guys on these forum pages appear to have owned earlier models, so is makes sense that you would follow the relevant forum section, whilst also be interested in visiting the later edition forums.
I don't think us MK6'ers are being elitist in any way :smug:. If a MK6 topics thread's back to issues pick up on the MK5, then I would follow that thread back and read it.
It seems pretty much common sense to me, then perhaps that's what makes me a MK6 owner! :tongue: :grin:

Yes you make a good point there, I spend most of my time here in too becuse i have a Mk6 also. Its nice to have new comers and a breath of fresh air with new threads :smiley:
-
I only really participate in the MK6 section although I did foray into the detailing section when I was on a bird dropping removal mission and got some help from the good folk there.
My area of knowledge is the MK6 simply because I own one so I tend to hang out here.
I help where I can and I'm pleased to say that I get help too from the other MK6 owners. I think they call it 'carma'. *reaches for coat* :grin:

Chuff, I thought Steve30's response to me was relevant and valid input to the thread :shocked:. However I can see from your forum status's that I have no experience to speak of and wouldn't question your far superior knowledge and input on the forum.
I do however think that we should look to nurture the newer forum's/members rather than scorn their input and content?? :grin:
I am however also now talking complete and utter "bo$$oc^s" and don't plan to get into an protracted off subject debate with you. However I'm sure you understand that it is important that one inputs one's penny into the proverbial p*ssing pot! :grin:

On the Chat Off Topic forum and specifically on the 'Winter Tyre' thread, I was admonished nay chastised en masse by a number of members on my purchase of winter tyres and wheels.
This is the response I provided:
'I have never laughed so much during and after this thread. You guys sound like a bunch of hysterical, chattering, frustrated housewives with a serious 'knickers in a twist' syndrome.
Fortunately, for me, £1440 is not a great deal of money. I am having fun and that's what it is all about.
The Monza Shadows cost nearly £500 each, and from what I know, are pretty impossible to fix when kerbed. As I don't like driving a car with kerbed or damaged rims and as this can be a greater possibility in harsh winter conditions, I bought a set of four VMR 710s for the princely sum of £410, delivered. I will use these with my outrageously expensive Michelin PA3 'W' rated winter tyres.
The Monza Shadows will be shod, as per my signature, with new summer wear come March. More fabulous, delightful expense. You should be pleased that I spend my money and contribute in some small way to help the pathetic economic state of our country.
So, contrary to what you all think and feel, I am undoubtedly a 'do gooder' and you should be celebrating this and attempt to desist from admonishing me for my generosity.
Happy and Prosperous New Year to all of you kind, considerate and thoughtful human beings'.
The tyres will be fitted in the UK, though not sourced through a UK company. The UK has to be grateful for small mercies. I tried for 3 months to get them here. Got fed-up with the ineffeciencies and the unacceptable wait. Eventually, the French company pneus, sourced them from Germany.
p3eps had to do the same.
Pity I could not spend all of the money here.

in all seriousness i don't feel welcomed in other forums. it remains the only common thing bonding us all together is the make and model of our motor cars and even then there is such variation within the model, eg manual/DSG etc, so in reality even amongst us we drive quite different machines
and then you got members of other forums who think the mk6 owners are probably a bunch of stuck up rich <Un+5 who think they are better than anybody else. that's partly why i avoid those other forums.
even now i feel very subordinate as most other members here seem to be hardcore enthusiasts to me so i avoid posting up silly stuff of a sarcastic nature. well sometimes. i'm happy to share my experiences, notably my recent issue regarding the driver's door that stayed shut, i think it's good to share this stuff as it relates to everybody.
on the whole though generally it's a nice atmosphere here, most guys (and gals) seem very helpful and it's nice to have such an enthusiastic community. it might even be nice to come meet some of you one day.

Mrs Doc is fine with be being on here, it's the wearing black fishnets, shiny black leather boots, crumpled black leather jacket, black cocked SS peak cap and a long black whip, whilst prancing around in delight that's got her a little confused.
I've assured her it will only last for about 74 months :grin:
