...distinct lack of acknowledgement from other gti owners :embarassed: it's just me flashing or waving hello - nothing back today from 3 owners - miserable gits :laugh:
-
Haven't had mine long enough to know yet.
Will see how many people ignore me next week :grin:
I know with certain makes/models such as mx5's they never let you pass without a wave.

I only tend to flash at the modded ones as you know they are more than likely enthusiasts. The rest are generally reps. I'll always give a flash or a wave if someone says hello though.
I tend to get much more acknowledgment in the Cabby, even from people in other makes.

oh i really feel sorry for you having try drive an RS4, must be hell of a drag! :grin:
got loads of dubbers daan saff (frome) and i always get a wave and flash, suppose its got to be bred into you.
-
try driving an aircooled VW then you never stop waving at people :rolleyes: :laugh:
-
I don't usually offer the initial wave, but i'm always on the lookout for other GTIs incase someone else appreciates them like I do.
I'll tell you what is more disappointing, is when I see a nice GTI and think oh cool lets see what they look like or I wonder if they fancy a quick squirt, or merely just a nod, only to pull up next to what can only be described as a granny driving. Unbelievable, so many middle aged / old women driving them its sad, the cars clearly never seen 4,000 revs in its life, what a waste. :angry :lipsrsealed:
I also came across a lovely blue R32 in slow dual carriageway traffic. alongside thinking the other bloke might look across too for some sort of mutual respect but othing. just an old boring git completely oblivious to everything. :cry:
i say stick these fools in peugeot's and be done with it. only sell the GTI to those that appreciate it!

iv only been a VW owner for 2 weeks and was unaware of the "raise of hand/ flash of the lights" but have noticed i have recieved a few!! Thought i had a light out at first!! I think its quite cool, i had a VW camper flash on the way to work, looked like a specimen to! VW secret code!!
-
yup, dubbers code!
-
ive had several face to face encounters with admirers of the car, always saying "nice motor mate" especially if i visit a friends car valet centre for its weekly brush up, always get other punters saying what a great looking car the Edition30 is.(very good for the ego)
Get long stares from R32 owners, and always see GTi owners clock me as i drive past, but dont icknowledge with any hand gestures!.(ie waves :wink:)
Only from a couple of candy white ed30's that ive seen have i had the thumbs up from.

waving and flashing is reserved for old school cars.

There was a cirtian wave that was old school and its two middle fingers down and little finger and next to your thub up :wink:

Yeah I would agree that it should be for older, and rarer cars!

Perhaps what I wrote came out wrong!
I'm all for GTI's flashing / waving to eachother definitely! But I guess it would feel more special if one owned a really really rare car that you only see another one once in a blue moon!
-
u want to own an old beetle fella your hand is never on the wheel for all the flashing and waves u do :rolleyes: its best on the way to a show :laugh:
-
Iv had several head nods and flashes from aother MK5 drivers and one from a MK2 driver. I got diddly squwat when driving my old MK4.

Sorry Sharpie, I think Phil was obviously speaking to you in language that he thought you understood best. Judging by your recent posts I would say that your IQ is no more than 9 and none of us would have realised that you have a double digit IQ. Well done mate, you obviously learned something at school, but then again, still not enough otherwise you'd be driving a Mk5 GTI and not be so bitter.

SHUT UP, YOU'RE BORING!
and errr no he doesn't look silly. however you infact look like a complete goon! now go and scoff off your nerdy friends. you bring precisely nothing of value. you try n be 'funny' and 'smart' with your infant comments displaying illyun's accurate analysis of you're IQ, but you're not, at all, ever will be...ever!

The more you gents bite back at him, the more he laughs at you.......
Ignore him, and then what can he reply back to....nothing!
-
Why would someone have such animosity to fellow GTi owners on a forum dedicated to all things GTi? Are we not here for the same reason? That reason being the love of all things GTi?
Tis the time for peace and harmony.

you've got it, but please don't ruin my fun :)

Guys, guys, guys. FFS, talk about taking the bait. Can't believe some of you are so quick to respond to this fella sharpie. Obviously here to wind you up (and succeeding from what I can see).

looks like there is sum past there i have missed
-
yeah, a nice recap like they do on tv shows would be cool.

TBH I was a bit confused by his response as it didn't make sense... but then I read what I said about his IQ and it made perfect sense. As for him trying to wind people around here up, its obvious what he is doing and I am surprised that he can get away as I would have thought his behaviour in contravention of forum rules. We're all here as we love the GTI - some of us even love the Mk3 :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: - and its a shame that some jealous saddo has to behave so obnoxiously.
