QUOTE FROM  FRED FLINTSONE:

Before I delete my membership from this forum, I just wish to comment on the total lack of interest in anything to do with Stock Hatch.  This section is supposed to be dedicated to motor sport.  We are racing the ONLY VW GOLF in Stock Hatch and have started several topics regarding this effort.  We are competing with modern French 106s Saxos, and various Ford cars with some success.  Why is nobody interested?  Are you all just boy racers with trick paint jobs or are there any serious enthusiasts out there.   The lack of interest on this GolfGTI forum is a mystery.  Is nobody aware that the Stock Hatch Championship is THE most entertaining track sport event in the country.  I give up!!!

ARE THE 'GolfGTI.co.uk-Forum' REALLY NOT INTERESTEAD IN VWs RACING AGAINST OTHER HOT HATCHES ?      SURELY NOT??  

ARE PEOPLE MORE INTERESTED IN THE 'TBH' BO--OCKS

THIS WAS HIS FIRST POST I THINK ;

General / Track days and motorsport / Stock Hatch Championship  on: May 24, 2005, 04:57 
As an opening comment from a new member, my son Keith Smith is racing the only MK1 Golf in the Stock Hatch Championship this year.  Our next meeting is Round 6 at Brands Hatch on 19th June.  Anyone is welcome to come and support us as most of the competition is French or Ford.  If you wish to see more details or join our forum also, please use this link:-
www.keith.grone.co.uk

In car video footage of the last 3 rounds can also be downloaded from the site.  From a spectator point of view it is without doubt the most exiting championship to watch this year.

I never saw the post either, but can vouch for most members being VW enthusiasts, just becuase we have a sense of humour does not mean we are not serious about our cars, or are boy racers.

The "TBH" in nonsence was a bit of fun between quite a few hardcore members of this site (myself included), and after all we did post in the "NONSENCE" section.

Rant over.

Hope you have 2nd thoughts mate and stay with us

DON'T GET ME WRONG WE ALL NEED A GOOD LAUGH I AGREE IT WAS JUST THAT HE DID SEVERAL POSTS AND NO-ONE (AND I INCLUDE MYSELF ) SEEMED TO RESPOND

I FOR ONE FOUND IT A BIT EMBARRASSING THIS BEING THE 'Golf GTI Forum ' :embarassed:

[mrwotto]

I agree with you, but this is a GTI Forum, not a motorsport forum, I love my v-dubs, have done for over 10 years, and dedicate a lot of my time to both the forum and to my cars, but I am not really interested in motorsport.

The only motorsport that I enjoy watching is the RWYB sessions at bug jam, which is vw Racing.

This forum is more laid back than any other vw forum that I have used, and people here are very helpfull and friendly, and enjoy to go to meetings etc, so maybe it could be a possibility that we could go to a meeting at one of the rounds of the championship that fred-flintstone races in.

But meets take a lot of organisation, as I am finding out with the newark meet, so will need time and effort by an individual to arrange.

PS turn the CAPS OFF

yeah but i've just read his posts and it seems that unless people want to know what his son is up to he doesn't want to be a part of this forum. i mean good luck to him and his son, its good that people do the whole trackday/racing thing but at the end of the day not everyone has the time, money, knowhow or interest in putting their pride and joy on the track.
it may be they enjoy owning a golf for how it looks but that doesn't mean that they are any less of an entheusiast. what did he want?!?!?!
he started a post about springs? what sort of replies did he want? and half the posts are only a few days old so in a less popular section of the site he can't expect a huge amount of response when the simple fact is most people on here build a car to drive around on the roads and enjoy it that way.

not sure why you found it embarressing, i read his post and thought he was a bit childish to be honest, like wotto said its not a dedicated motorsport site and its not like golfs were designed for racing on tracks. he should get over it or go back to his clubgti, we've taken so many of their members its good to give something back!

I have 3 VW's, none of which are perfect, but I love them all. Just because I don't want to thrash them round a track this means I am not as hardcore as someone who does??

f**k off does it!! f**king twit.

What a f**king narrow minded post to make in the first place. Tbh

So long, and thanks for all the fish... tbh.

As said above, this is a golfgti forum not a motorsport forum... i'd rather drive than watch.

Can't please everyone I suppose. The guy obviously never made the effort to get involved in the forum at all if he thinks we're all a bunch of chavs..
