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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.
