ITG
« on: 04 February 2011, 20:36 »
I thought this was just my imagination but no, it happened again today.

When I get behind another car (not too close - and my DRLs are off) on an open road they see the GTI badge in their mirror and just boot it, normally turbo diesel cars, sometimes standard petrol Beemers or Audis.
The diesels are the biggest giveaway as there is a sudden black cloud, no offence meant but its true.


The GTI badge must really be an icon as it is so easily recognised even back to front.

And no, I don't drive aggressively or tailgate, hence the clean licence for 25 years.

I know exactly what you mean, iconic indeed.  I get this a lot as well - usually A4 drivers or jokers in tdi Passatts who should know better to be honest!

Happens all the time and I have got used to it. Being Red, it happens more often. At least they are having fun which is a good thing. See, the GTI gives JOY. :cool:

PS: Forgive me, but what is ITG? :embarassed:

Hi Asker

GTI in the rear mirror -sorry, couldn't find the mirror/reverse text option :grin:

If anyone can tell me how to do it I'll gladly change.

Or throttle bodies. Now that would be something.

I find people carriers are the worst. I think they are over compensating.
