Admiring Glances.

[Saint Steve]

interestingly, most MkV GTI owners blank me...

Really??, in your oppinion of course.

I saw one today on the  motorway and he was looking at mine as i was at his Black Mk6 Gti.

He put his foot down only to try and show off, but only to get a shock of me going past him quite quickly 

I love to look at all Gti's if i spot them.

the only glances for me are from male chav's.  i parked at a warehouse to buy some stock, not busy but suddenly all the staff started to come out, some for a smoke, gradually they all came out for a gawp.  not many glances from babes as to them its just a golf.  most dont know the significance or what car it is.  i've had a few cars but the best one for glances was the audi tt, new shape when it first came out- because like the gti, i got one ready made, i got it b4 anyone else so seeing one was very very rare( only now do u see plenty of them).  well ppl would glance wherever you went.  one time i was at a drive thru, waiting at the window as u do....   chav's waiting at the carpark, drove intentionally to the exit area, waited a bit to have a gawp.  ppl eatin inside, turning there heads-  its funny, u try to look like u dont give a toss. worst thing is my bro likes to go very agressive on the throttle evrytime he passes girls or students.   for me the tt is a babe magnet, so many girls glance, not the same with a gti- all u get is blokes (18-35yr olds)(im not gay btw).  so the theory goes..... u like girls -go back in time and get a tt when it was fresh and rare...    the a4 cabriolet which i had b4 the audi tt was also a babe magnet, head turner.   
alot of it is due to being a new car, alot due to it being an audi.  gti isnt really new/ fresh as the golf has been out awhile and design is quite subtle.  also the fact that a golf in a babes perspective, "aint as sexy" , im assuming with confidence .
ppl with mark 5 gti's cant help lookin though.   they cant help but feel second rated against my  spanking new gti.

mk6s have as much presence as any other brand new car (i.e. the only people who are interested are other shallow 'brand new car' owners/aspirers.)

when you compare number of people looking at you, try a convertable down the main street with the roof down, or something that really stands out (i have felt particularly conspicious in an original beetle and a resto'd porsche 964 - and i'm someone used to driving something that stands out like a sore thumb)

How does having a new car make you shallow ?If no one buys a new car then there will be no future classics ,so not only are you poor but your also stupid.

re: shallow - did you attempt to read denyason's post? or the OP's post? as a car salesman i have a fair experience in the area (not that i would ever suggest that anyone i meet is like that; but there are two examples.)

it also means i could buy a new car any time i wanted for cost price.

and finally, don't fool yourself into thinking the mk6 will be a classic.

your also stupid.

teh irony

having something new makes u happy .  it gives u a smile , you caress it, you love and drivin is a joy.  but the older it gets, the worse u treat it.  we all like cherishing new gadgets and gizmo's.  i didnt buy the gti to pose, if i did i'd get a ferrari( 1/4 scale as i couldnt afford full wack).  the responce is to the OP. 
no one drives blind, you notice head turners, especially when u drive something new.  we do it ourselves,  who here doesnt like gawping at a porsche...... or a pretty lady or man(if u preferred) ?
u wouldnt notice any glances if u drove something old and common.  all i was commenting on was how different the glances were from the gti(mark 6) to the audi tt (mark 2)when it first came out.  i'm sure someone driving a porsche would get many glances from women and men.  but the gti is mostly blokes.  did u know the gti is the most wanted car for criminals?  so ironically "admiring glances" could backfire, maybe just maybe they want to steal it from u..
the gti is not for posing......  it makes sence, good re-sale value, good brand, great engine, practical, refined, spatious, heritage, technologically advanced, desired and so much more than for posing in.
