I reckon, in the summer we should organise between the two groups a Club match?
GolfGTI.co.uk vs ClubGTI.co.uk? Two popular clubs full of quick motors...
Santa Pod?
Good idea or bad?
I dont know how to enter a poll up sorry. :smiley:
-
Club gti is full of geeks!
-
Actually, thinking about it, they would prob kick our arse!! :sad:
-
Yes i think they would too! They are all still geeks though lol :grin:
-
We are not elite enough for them. Sorry to say it, but we are just too common, that is a FACT no matter who says otherwise.
Oh and they are swamped with 1.8T mk2s
-
Yeah i know, i went to a rolling road day the other day and i couldnt believe how many 1.8T Mk2's their was!!
Most pushing 200bhp + @ wheels! :shocked:
Also my mates Turbo'd G60 Raddo is there, and a few Mk2 G's aswell.
-
There are a fair few quick cars on here as well u know :laugh:
-
I'll bring my pushbike and show 'em what-for! :laugh:
-
your push bike probably has more power than my poorly mk3 at the minute mate!
surely with slicks mk2, joes tvr golf the rallyee clan, dans g60 mk1, hardcore's vr6 and the others iv left out there has to be a chance for us?

i've heard they're all a bunch of (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b113/dancinang3l/smilies/w4nker.gif)

By the summer time my Driver will be all 'Charged up' and ready to rumble! :cool:

Nah! im a professional you know! :smug: :nerd:

Hay i use clubgti quite alot, Used them before i came on this site only cos i never heard of this one. s clubgti is so big, But i prefer this one as most sound like good set of lads. Most on clubgti seem to track there cars and they are very good on tech stuff well 1 or 2 are. I use www.golfmk2.be also some of there cars are unbelieveable belgium forum.
-
If you knew half the stuff that went on there you would change your tune. Admittedly tech stuff is pretty good, but its generally only 6-7 people that help on there. The rest slate everything and are generally so up themselves they can suck their own tonsils.
-
not to be total a dweeb and be all diplomatic, but ive never even thought of it as a golfgti vs clubgit..i just know which forum and its people i prefer...and i got banned off clubgti.. :laugh:
only kidding.. :tongue: i just think golfgti is a better forum simple as.. :smiley:
Dinx :kiss:
-
I used to be on ClubGTI, but cause i had a Driver then a few arseholes there made my forum life cr@p! In the end it got so bad cuz certain people wouldnt answer my questions or made fun cuz i didnt have a 'GTI'...
Booo Hooo.. W@nkers!  :angry:
-
Well nice to know what you yhink off me :cry: :cry: :grin:.
Club GTi is about to relaunch and hopefully get rid of some of the people that Alex(Slick) talks about :undecided:
There will be a new site and a new forum at the end of March.
I do prefer this forum tho as I believe that the sections are divided better, esp for different Mk's of vehicle :cool:

we love ya tho gaz....

Aw, thanks han :wink:

(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b113/dancinang3l/smilies/spaz.gif)
we're not all that bad ya know...
-
I agree with all the comments too. I went over to the dark side once. Put up 1 post and all i got back was attitude! So i thought sod that and came running back to good old golfgti.co.uk where all the nice people are. They maybe are not as technical but we get there in the end!
-
But you lot have me and I can take em ALL of the road in just one shot down the strip :smug:
ask rich
-
I am interested to see what they're all like, to be honest, sound like a complete set of bar stewards to me though!
-
Hmm all this seems really strange and tribal to me... I am a member of Club GTI and Mk1 Owners Club but I use this forum as much as the other two where I am a member. I know sod all about mechanicals - theory yes, but practical no because my job means I am too busy to spend time on my cars - but does enable me to buy nice examples :grin:. I have a Mk1 Campaign with 62k, a Mk2 16v with 56k and a Mk2 G60 Syncro - Mk5 GTI on the way which means the Sycnro may have to go. I just enjoy the cars and don't bother with all the political rubbish which I am sure does go on. They are only cars at the end of the day and if people from either forum have a religious attitude to all this they need to get a life.. :drool:
-
if we use say 1 of everykind of gti, 8v vs 8v (joe), Rallye vs rallye (topher, his was most powerful dont b!tch), G60 vs G60 (yours truly) 1.8t vs 1.8t (diz oubviously!) we can kane em
-
sounds like a plan jord!
-
Sorry to jump on the bandwagon but yes there are some real chimps on clubgti, one of the reasons why I don't bother going to their meets, even though they are on 20 mins away.
There was a guy who was selling some bits I wanted so I pm'd him and he said he'd sort out a price for postage, 5 days later I pm him to see if he'd priced it up, only to be told he'd sold them a few days before, gave him a sarcastic non-abusive message back, only to be told I was female genetailia. No need for that I thought, and after researching his user name on other forums, it turns out he's a complete jockey.
I also posted something on there once about front wishbones for a mk2, and some queen decided to try and ridicule me. When you come on here you get a sense that if someone posts then they may have had experience, and not their 'mate did that once'.
Plus if there was a forum battle, I think there would be some surprises, especially if Mr Riley has his way!!

We are all enthusiasts with a common interest. We all enjoy our cars, the shows and generally get along. Lets not allow politics and the general running of each club/forum interfere with what we enjoy.
I think this them & us attitude is unhealthy, we all have something to contribute to our VW world.

Rich is as bloody neutral as ever :grin: :laugh: :laugh:
-
Go back to switzerland, hippie! :laugh: :grin:
Haha nah fair point rich, but at the end of the day we are all as you say enthusiasts... so you'd expect mutual respect between eachother but from what ive read on that forum it seems theres very little respect there... and when theres no mutual respect the "us and them" attitude is really all you can expect :)

only ever been a member on here and E38, found both pretty much ok, but both ave made me feel like deleting mi account at one time or another, i feel like i'm blanked a lot on here, think golf-pro's the only 1 who comments on my car (cheers phil :wink:, or is it in mi head), yet on E38, ave had a the odd 1 trying to say i'm a chav, for mi metal-flake paint and led's for indicators, till loads jumped on him and told him to button it, inc Sweetland, can't fault that, as for clubgti, don't know em, never been on it, nor care too.......
as for who i'd represent if mi car turns out well, there's only 1 answer (GTI.CO.UK), was 1st forum of any kind i joined, so thats where mi loyalty would be.......
-
I was a member of cgti for 2 years and used the forum for 3. I stopped one day and haven't been back on since. I was also the membership secretary for the club. Again told them where to stick it as i had enough of the attitude. Doesn't say much about a club does it.
-
I unfortunately signed up to ClubGti 1st and paid the £25.00,  for that i got an out of date magazine and a flyer with rules you wouldn't hear of in a court house,  i agree with the admin that both sites should interact but feel that this site is best by far with members been very forthright and honest,  and your not afraid to express your point of view on any topic :smug: :smug: :smug:

I got your back homes, I may not agree with some of the mods you've done, but who cares if I don't, thats the whole scene. My view is that some people have gained access to some of these sites to stir up the scene, just check the amount of posts they have, it's as if they want to disrupt our appreciation of other peoples hard graft.

It's amazing sometimes how 'playground' it gets sometime, but nearly every time on here the banter is good, there seems to be alot less deleted posts on here as compared to other forums.
-
yeah, shytot really did have a boner for me, his only posts were givin me sh!t, it was probably some @rse-less moron hiding in another name, but yeah, don't expect my car to be to everyone's taste, but that's all they need to say, rather than be a total @rsehole........... :huh:
-
From my experience, some people on clubgti thought they were alot better than they really were :rolleyes:
-
i'm not a competitive person, but i'll give anybody off any forum a go at building the nicest cheapest car possible, doing all the work, and i mean all the work (am only paying sum1 else to spray it cuss of lack of premises), including body mods, engine mods paint and i can even cut mi own graphix.....
if any of em off other forums wanna slate me or my car, GOOD, look at the face, am i bovered, am i, look, face, bothered.....NOT!!
find Something better for the same money, and i'll get mi nuts out in "woolworths"......
-
i do like to comment on your car mate coz i appreciate everything youv done to it and cant wait to see it finished.  I love it when iv done something new to mine, i post it up here and get comments about things, good or bad.
I would feel stupid on a forum like e38 or cgti with my 1.4. They seem very elitist when it comes to engines but on here it just seems to be more about the ppl and their passion than their egos. I love vws and i have learnt so much since being on here, thanks to every1 for that. I know where il be staying put!

The fleck paint isnt to my taste, But im reserving judgement until i see it finished and im guessing it may just surprise me! besides.. if we all had the same paintjob it'd be boring wouldnt it? :)
I've been followin your threads closely actually, just not posted in em! Gettin me really agitated now making me want to go rob a bank and get started on my mk1 project  :laugh: Got it all planned out what i wanna do to it.. and it should look sweet when its finished... but its just out of reach at the moment! But will defenitly be ready for shows at the start of next year :)

'vwman' on e38 has got to be the most miserable sod.

you'd be surprised mate, i had a good reception, n i consider mine a bag of sh!t tbh, i can't compete with any big players, mines been done on the budget it has because i'm peppermint, if i had the cash available to me then who know's????.

this is it, at the end of the day, we all love our cars, i'm doin it the way i am, so as not to follow trends, ie Mk4 look lights, audi/merc rims etc, etc, if you mod your car to please every1 else, then you really need to get some freinds, i do mine how i like, if ya like it good, if ya don't fair enough, if ya wanna slate it fair enough, i'm happy i wont lose any sleep, and i'll still own the fattest golf in the local area....
-
i think we get on fine, and those of you's whom i met at e38, i love ya all! not even looked anywhere else.. im a on forum girly, cos you guys have been good to me! and put up with me in my times of stupdity!
and jv... good to see someone setting the standard! :rolleyes: :laugh: :kiss:
-
I must apologise to Lewy's nan. I was the shock of vwman saying that a red Rallye on bbs lm's was 'sh!te'.
:grin:
-
he did keep his mouth shut about what he drives tho JV, did ya notice that, probaby a clio boy.......
-
despite bein a 1.4 and blatenly havin drum breaks on the back i still get ppl ask if its an anni edition, what wolfsberg edition is it, is it an 8 or 16 valve or even a vr6. Does it really matter a toss? I am me, thats my car, i love it, and somehow we hav ended up talkin over this interweb thingy.

I Agree with both of these comments, the rivalry thing is pointless, the forums/clubs are just different that's all.

I don't see the point of boasting that you can change all 4 discs and pads on a golf in one hour, no-one can, but thats what some people are like on clubgti. It doesn't impress anyone that works on their own car.

Oh yeah, I can bugger up all four brand new coilovers on my car in seconds - I snapped the top adjuster off within minutes of fitting them, had to send it back leaving the car suspension less!!!
Each to their own, and thats that!!

I guess the original post of this thread about having a shoot out on the 1/4 mile has somehow turned into a "Why I dont like ClubGTI" thread. :shocked: People will go where ever they feel welcome and I think on the whole this forum welcomes everyone.
I've been to a few shows over the past couple of years and you'd be surprised how many people dont know that this place exists. :cool:
HARDCOR3: I have commented on what you've done to your car, only a couple of times I admit and certainly no where near as many times as Phil has. :tongue: I think people should give comments (both positive and/or constructive) more to people who take the time and effort to post pics and give us updates on what they're doing. Point taken and noted. :wink:
-
ok well you all do it and I will stand in teh middle and judge!!!
I write on this vw forum only but I am a regional host for club gti!!
But can't be doing with there forum.
