Golf GT drivers
« on: 04 September 2009, 18:41 »
How do you GTI drivers find them? I mean the drivers more than the car.

Whenever im out in the 32 if i see a GT driver you can guarantee. 90% of the time, they will go all out to get passed you! Undercutting, revving and dangerous driving to try an show me i made the wrong choice and should have gotten a GT  :rolleyes:
Im not knocking all owners as you get the few who give a nod of respect (something ill always return) but the majority feel they need to show you something....im not sure what, but they try all the same  :laugh:

Do you get any other cars?
MK4 gti's (usually modified in some way with young drivers) are just as bad, im guessing they have had a map and think they will av me lol

Just to add i dont bite to these cars, i let them get on with it. Im just unsure why they do it?

The problem is that the 1.4 is already bloody quick for a 1400.

Remapped must be insane  :laugh:

Dont worry about diesels, remember thats peak power which lasts for about 300rpms in a diesel  :laugh: You can see em hit their peak as they gain a bit then tail off as they have run out of puff, always makes me chuckle on the motorway  :grin:

The funniest thing is sitting behind the 3.6 Litre Merc C Class on a mountain pass.

Besides the entire rear end of the car being dark brown and the rest sparkling clean it also lets out little puffs whenever it gears down and when he floors it you just see black and that stench.

I would rather drive a 1.4  :lipsrsealed:

No exactly what you mean Jules, although having said that my 61 year old mum has a 57 plate GT and I don't think she tends to behave like this. Having said that she was quite the girl racer in her day, remember being in the car with her when I was about 9 in her XR3i cabriolet getting pulled for speeding!

Other ones I find a pain are underpowered BMW's, normally in M Sport guise. Seem to think the badge and M Styling adds about 50 bhp  :laugh:
