oops wrong button anyway so ive got back into the scene and been enjoying it but my main gripe is knowone i have seen driving any dub be it a gti or whatever has giving me the nod not a shows just out and about.
I have waved flashed smiled nodded shouted hello lol, all i get is blank expressions , angry stares and a couple of times i have got the finger cmon people wheres the love this dubber needs a hug so if you see me about in my mk2 grey gti give me a wave or something it will make my day.
Just thought i would share  :smiley:

i have nodded and waved at a few GiT owners

some returned the compliment  :cool:

some looked at me like i have lost the plot  :grin:

and one threw me the finger  :shocked:

Yeah, sorry about that mate  :laugh:

I never know what to do when I see another dubber!
I'm always scared to flash incase I cause some horrendous RTA
Might keep my window down so I can wave at any given time  :smiley:

dont flash - like you said - some cnut will pull out in front of you  :wink:

just a quick wave - does the job - if the dont get the Git bit - they will just think its someone who knows them  :laugh:

Maybe WGC is full of idiots?

where is WGC anyway?

i think you should plan a roadtrip covering the whole country and get as many waves as you can!

I'm quite often to shy to wave  :embarassed:

But I like it when other mk2s come park next to me  :grin:

i am a bit too shy to wave... and have noticed one mk3 dubber in wokingham that was far too cool to acknowledge me last year... well you know what buddy... mine is much nicer than yours now!

parked next to a mk3 GTi in slough AND she had a london wasps sticker in the car (dreeeam woman) and she totally didn't geddit when i waved hello... i was like... errr... wtf?  :huh:

pass another very standard mk3 gti most days and I see him looking at mine... there is a daily wave crying out to happen there!

thing is some people just drive. don't even know what their driving aslong as its a car. i usually flash mk2s that look like they are into their cars, i accidently flashed a local pikey in his mk2 and got a proper "F'You Look" :(

i drive an ex post office LDV van (through poverty rather than choice)  and one f the local gypsies has just bought one too. i am now regularly getting flashed and waved at by the piky division which i find pretty amusing!

Well done Len give yourself a gold star im not sure if i could have worked that out coming from a town full of idiots  :grin:

I've only ever had one friendly MK2 owner flash and wave to me. I get the feeling the MKIV and MKV owners down here are too up their own arses to flash or wave anyway. Just a different scene I guess. :smiley:

South west is obviously quite good for this then.... i get waves from about 50% of the mk2 GTI population  :cool:
Title: Re: Am i doing domething wrong
Post by: Benrevs on 07 March 2008, 13:30
Yea same ere, south west seems ok for it.  But on a visit to rochdale i had some chav literally almost fall out his window with enthusiasm...  If they dont flash back, blind em the next time!! :evil:

Post by: dabill on 07 March 2008, 14:10
i wave and nod genrally, and park next to other mk2's(as kittie will confirm)

might start ramming some other dubber just for some fun.
