Admiring Glances.
« on: 08 November 2009, 21:55 »
Had my first admiring glance today. Walking back to my car today at the supermarket with my shopping trolley,  :smiley:
saw a 2007 Golf TDI circling my car giving it the once over.  :smug:

Now this got me thinking, I think the car is quite understated, and I was expecting more admiring glances, but is it just me? Or is it the new car syndrome?

Went for a run yesterday and here am I following the running in procedure and what do I see in my mirror? A Smart car right up my back side trying to overtake. “What the f**k says I. So keeping within the rev range, managed to outpace it.

Roll on 1000 miles plus.

i haven't had that many either.  it does look like a regular golf with big wheels to most members of the public.  enthusiasts can tell though of couse  :cool:


interestingly, most MkV GTI owners blank me... but then again there are a lot of non-enthusiasts in MkVs due to the sheer popularity of them.  the MkVI will be like that in a few years too.

I'd give an admiring glance if only I saw one though.  Still not seen one round my way.

Agreed a billion percent. Saw one today in the colour I would have too. I stopped in the street to watch it go by :evil:

I stare into Smart cars.
They look just like the old handicapped cars.
Try to see just who would buy them.

You obviously don't live anywhere near me then, 6.5k on the clock, remap, heavy right foot. Most people are still running theirs in.
