Title: Volkswagens....lets have a little respect...
Post by: Speedydub on 31 December 2003, 15:28
Hmmmm.....Now, I have has six cars, all VW's, and have had a licence since 1997. In all that time I have never cut up, gesticulated or anything else at another VW driver. Cos that would be disrespectful, innit?

So yesterday, on the way to getting a new tyre, some fat bird in a lesser polo than mine cut me up on purpose TWICE. TWICE!

I dunno if she expected me to race her or what? But it peed me off no end that she did not respect my authoritahhhhhh.

So, fat bird in a 1.4 dragon green mk 4, I hope youre reading this. LEARN SOME MANNERS!!!

Occasionally I've had other mk2 gti drivers wave/nod at me.  you know giving it the 'nice one mate' respect type thing (?)

There should be more of that I reckon..

when I had a volvo 480 (the one with the pop-up lights) I used to get it all the time..  There are less of those about tho... Dare I say it? Golfs are a lot more common...(sorry)

Anyway, here's me givin out respect to all ya mk2 gti pilots.. ;)sorted ;)

when i used to be in the 'aircooled vw brigade' we always used o flash and nod or give the old 'no worries' hand gesture!!!, its nice to know your belonging to somethinggood!!, would have to be a world wide announcement to start doing something friendly to fellow 'golfers' as other wise there will be 'road rage' and 'what the f@ck you flashin/waving at' stuff lol  ::)

I always try to let VW's at junctions and stuff, even if Im driving my shoddy work van.
I used to drive a Beetle and it was cool when other air cooled dubs waved at you.
It would be good if GTI drivers would do the same!
Lets try and start it, wave to every GTI you see and see what happens!

I use to give a wave ir thumbs up to all VW's I met on the road. I had to narrow it down to Golfs, GTI, Polos, Cabs, and any other nice looking dubs I meet though. Had an old man in a Passat throw me the V after I waved. I don't generally cut up on any cars unless I am in a city than it's everyone for themselves it seems. lol.

When ever I'm in my mk1 Golf I always get a wave from other mk1 owners. I guess it's because the mk1 is rarer than mk2 round by me and I know most of the people who own the mk1 golfs ;D.

You sound as though she really got under your skin! Do we not like women having a bit of fun, she probably thought you was up for a little session?
I used to have a Polo (GT) & I always felt the need to push you guys a little, just one of those things a girl has to do I guess, (that is with the understanding that she is actually safe to be on the road as I find that there are so many who should not even get in a car).

But you know not all women are EVIL some are worse!

Anyhow I am sure you feel better that you have got it off your chest.

see ya!

I got a bit wave happy once.

When driving my dads land rover defender I waved at land rovers

When driving my old beetle I waved at fellow buggers.

When driving my camper I waved at all air cooleds

and I always give a nod when on my motorbike to other bikers

When I was driving a white van as a courier in London I decided the arm ache wasn't worth it

Exactly, I had a lad in a Clio revving it up next to me at traffic lights a few weeks ago.
