If you ask me and nobody is,  :laugh: its all down to badge snobbery.

GTD drivers simply don't want to be classed with the peasants as a lowly TDI.

Like Penguin has said, they bought the top of the range Derv which VW class in the same category as the GTI and R. So I can see their point. I would probably feel the same.  

However, they keep bleating on that the GTD and GTI are virtually the same so as such, most if not all the posts should be going in to the MK6 section as opposed to the specific TDI section. So does it really matter at the end of the day?!

Its a service with a wealth of information offered free of charge. If folk are complaining in a roundabout about way about this then its a bad day.

IMHO Everything's fine as it is, it seem's just recently it's about "GTI v GTD",  "Why are GTI drivers so rude to GTD drivers", "GTD bashing", "This forum isnt friendly to GTD owners", "The TDI section should be renamed GTD section" etc etc etc

Maybe you should have bought a GTI if you've got a chip on your shoulder with owning a GTD! :wink:

I honestly don't know what the big deal is?? Most of the drivers of other golf variants in the section of the forum have been here for quite some time now, way before there was a tdi section in here and everyone got along with a few digs here n there! A few people suggested starting one so thats what happened, why do we need to keep going on and on about it?

This is my point exactly. I'm glad someone has seen it finally.

I agree... and have said this before

I do agree with Horney that the forums in general have been a bit grumpy of late.

And further more if you think that members of the public (who have become members of the forum) having an opinion about the development of the forum is pathetic, well good luck on attracting new members. I may not assist on running or moderating the forum but I have tried to help people on here where and when I can. I appreciate the guidance, ideas and community the forum has provided and I have tried my best to repay what I have received. If you think I am a sensitive GTI owner then yes, I am. I want the forum I am invovled in to be the best it can be. And I think that starts with a bit of respect.

This has now gone majorly off topic and I apologise to the OP but I feel what I have said needed to be said.
