Title: All Golf owners must flash or wave!!
Post by: Godzilla on 16 September 2011, 14:27
Since owning Golf's for years and years now (Showing my age!)  I have noticed within the past few years it is becoming more like a trend to get flashed or waved at.....Really gives off that friendly Dub ownership  :smiley:

I do it to all Golf GTI's, VR6's, Raddo's....Some wave or flash back others look as if to say 'Who the bloody 'ell is that!'

I think we should all do it!!  Who else flashes or waves at another Golf GTI?

I see a lot of pedestrians who wave at me when I'm driving about in the Passat.

I always wave back.

It seems to make some of them quite angry, but then they are walking and I'm driving.  :huh:

corrado owners are the friendliest, you don't see another very often but get a thumbs up or wave every time. mk2's get a bit of love and mk4's get none whatsoever

Would you wave at me Alan?  :grin:

Post by: Seanl on 17 September 2011, 12:37
It's just down to the fact that no one really interested in cars would buy the oldies like mk1/2/3 and raddos or roccos. Mk4 onwards are just normal everyday drivers on the daily hack, and not enthusiasts like us. :smiley:

This. It's making me seriously consider defecting if it weren't for the difficulty of getting hold of parts.
