Acknowledging other GTI/GTD drivers
« on: 22 July 2013, 12:44 »
When you get your shiny new GTI/GTD will you be acknowledging other GTI/GTD drivers?

I will :wink:

When I first got my Scirocco back in 2009 not many were on the roads, I used to acknowledge other Scirocco drivers with a flash of the lights or a hand up. However, after a while there were too many on the roads to make it special - so I gave up after not getting reciprocal acknowledgement.

This used to happen a lot with my mk 6 - I certainly did it and had it done to me.  When the Guilietta first came out and my missus got hers all the Alfa drivers flashed as they went by, pretty cool I think!

Fat chance for me. If there's another 2 GTI's within a 100 mile radius of me I'd be surprised  :laugh:
MK8 GTI Clubsport. Reflex silver, Estorils, and a few other bits.

I dunno...  What sort of wave do you think suits the GTI?  If it were a Bentley I could so a royal wave.  If it were Mustang I could flip the bird...

Perhaps a little salute?
