I think the problem is that it has been suggested and tried on here a few times and failed miserably each time. When you consider the number of golf's on the road all you end up with is a million threads titled 'spotted white golf - birmingham' and no replies to them :wink:

As for people taking the p!ss, take a look at the banner at the top of the site 'help and sarcasm'. Get used to it or f*ck off  :grin:

If you want to know who is near you just get people to use the location field in their profile so that it shows in their posts.
This would be really helpful in the or sale section!

To answer seriously, there has been many spotted sections threads before and they just didn't really work. There is one in the Mk6 section but they seem to have there own rules...  :rolleyes:

There is nothing stopping you posting a thread saying you spotted a fellow forum member if you want to.

It's one of those, in theory it's great but in practise it doesn't work.

As for this, yes.

You get used to it!  :grin: :grin: :grin:

When i first joined i thought to myself with various members "You mum must have been disappointed when you were born" Then you get used to the fact it's a forum and you can't take any of it seriousy.

If i told Dom to me to f**k off when i first joined i would have been bashing my co*k on the keyboard *%$£#'"£%% now it's all sh!ts and giggles. Take every comment with a pinch of salt and give as good as you get and you will go far!  :grin: :grin:

Oh Dom - f**k off!  :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

To the OP, if you stick around you will get used to the insincere, sarcastic tw@ts who frequent on here, most of them seem ok. :afro:

By the way. I saw a grey Golf today on an 02 plate and alloy wheels in Leeds. Was it anyone on here ? :grin:

Instant sarcasm to new members.

MK5 spotted thread - http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=76069.0

MK6 spotted thread - http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=152725.0

Other MKs are clearly not worth enough of such threads :D
