Not many 35's eh?
« on: 05 October 2012, 18:15 »
Just driving into South Wales and was saying to the wife that there are loads of Roccos on the road now but I've never seen another 35 and 30 seconds later a carbon grey 3 dr came the opposite way, any of you guys.

Nope, not yet seen a 35er on my travels yet. Seen a few Mk6 GiT's but more GTD's, out of R, 35, GiT n GTD's. Loads of standard rep-mobiles though   :sad:

so whats the etiquette for going "nice car mate" as one overtakes a similar level golf.

Flash lights? (before overtaking)....though this seems a bit rude
Honk Horn? .....ya have to work to make it sound friendly.
couple of hazard flashes?
....any others?

The day before I picked mine up I saw a red 35 with Glendales on the M25, then at the dealer I got mine saw an identical one to mine ready for pickup! Other than that though, none.

I got a wave this week from a Mk5 GTI owner coming towards me  :smiley:

I sometimes see a white ED35 on my way into the office in Cambridgeshire, but not seen any others.

Even covering around 750 miles a week a GTi is a rare site, with GTD's being popular with the business brigade.

None of that imo, a simple raise of the finger from the wheel is about the limit tbh, any more and you look like a tit! :laugh:

Glad you said from the wheel :laugh:

Used to do the flashy light thingy but agree with Jimble, a simply raise of the finger from the wheel or a nod is all its takes...
