Remember that old vegetarian teacher from school with the 2CV who liked to show of his ability in foreign languages?

Sorry, guess I was reminded of the loud-mouth from school that wouldn't back down until he was proved utterly wrong in public.  It needed the boring, long-winded explanation to get the message through the thick skulls of some people.

If you don't like it, don't read it.

Why ?

I haven't put down Golfs, I've been thinking about getting one, this site might prove useful for research.

What do you expect when you post incorrect information ?  - that no-ones gonna correct you ?!

If I was coming on here for some crappy French vs German car argument then I'd understand your problem, but I haven't.

I suppose you'd take offence if I put an opinion on the Optimax vs Ultimate thread as well ?

" I've been thinking about getting one"

How about you go away until you have a golf?
OR
Do a sponsored shut up for children in need?
I'd give you a tenner if you encased your fingers in concrete for a week! ;)

Not really no, you are rude, arrogant and have contributed nothing to this site. If you want to contribute then just get on with it without calling anyone thick or anything else.

Pot calling the kettle black or what ?!!  :o

Compared to you I am courteous and humble !  Perhaps you should re-read your own posts, originally I only posted this stuff to try and spread a little knowledge, I've only taken a more arrogant approach since you decided to attack !

How about you stop calling people c-o-c-k boy etc. ?

@ old_boy, bit of a chicken and egg situation really mate, I wouldn't want to get a car without checking with people that already own the car to find out what it's like, and you lot won't accept anyone that hasn't already got one.  

If you'd all have let it slide and my post total would probably only be 2 or 3, but some people just can't let it go !

golfvr6 - next time your obviously wrong about something I suggest that you just act a little more maturely and accept it.

perhaps if you both stopped flirting and f?cked each other we could stop all this bickering!

 ;D

I'm all for other car owners posting on this thread - if their input is subjective.

It's when it turns into a mud slinging match it becomes boring.

So let me get thist straight, your quite happy laughing at somebody with zero technical knowledge who sticks neon lights on a Clio RSI, however when somebody actually comes up with a correct technical definition for something you laugh at them too?

This is a bad advert for VW drivers you know. Maybe we'll post this on the scooby, nissan sx forums and see what they make of you all, they'll think all this is highly amusing.
