VW Darkside Campaign

Hi All,

Thanks for the feedback and the education about track days. The experience has clearly not been what I was hoping for.

My intention was to raise awareness and encourage others to question VW's current lobbying policy. My intention was not to wind up and upset loads of people on this forum.

Perhaps I was naïve in thinking people would come on board or maybe I underestimated how strongly some people would react. Whatever the case, I’ve decided to delete my posts rather than create more angry people.

For the record, I am not (and never have been) a member of Greenpeace. Also, until very recently, I was the proud owner of both the cars in the photo. And I still think that the Golf GTI is one of the most awesome cars ever made!

So that’s it, I haven’t changed my views but I have taken on board the way I go about sharing them. I don’t think it’s an issue that’s going to go away and my hope is that future technology (and better VW investment) will provide a solution that we’ll all be happy with. Wishing you all many years of happy motoring in the meantime, Dan

So why haven't you sold both your cars and bought a Bluemotion Polo?

Then you can have your cake and eat it.

The bottom line is that we’re running out of resources and the petrol we buy is just going to keep on getting more expensive.  My want is to see VW taking the lead in bringing in newer, cleaner, more exciting and more efficient ways of doing things, rather than spending millions (which ultimately gets passed on to us) in holding us all back.

Haters gonna hate, lobbyists gonna lobby.

You're a fool if you think VW are exceptional in this respect.  Why single them out?  Their lobby budget is only large because of the number of vehicles they produce.  If they were producing electric vehicles they would still be lobbying.

Oh and in years to come your son won't be racing at a track day - track days aren't for racing, numbnuts.

Do you even own the cars in the picture?  You're a liar and nothing but a Greenpeace lobbyist Bullsh*tter (doing his job very badly) unless we have a photo of both with a tin of custard on the roof.

Crack on with the above and maybe we'll take you seriously.

Yes custard test!

And I still won't take you seriously because I'll be long dead with no legacy in 50 years.

Safe
