Sorry to jump on the bandwagon but yes there are some real chimps on clubgti, one of the reasons why I don't bother going to their meets, even though they are on 20 mins away.

There was a guy who was selling some bits I wanted so I pm'd him and he said he'd sort out a price for postage, 5 days later I pm him to see if he'd priced it up, only to be told he'd sold them a few days before, gave him a sarcastic non-abusive message back, only to be told I was female genetailia. No need for that I thought, and after researching his user name on other forums, it turns out he's a complete jockey.

I also posted something on there once about front wishbones for a mk2, and some queen decided to try and ridicule me. When you come on here you get a sense that if someone posts then they may have had experience, and not their 'mate did that once'.

Plus if there was a forum battle, I think there would be some surprises, especially if Mr Riley has his way!!

We are all enthusiasts with a common interest. We all enjoy our cars, the shows and generally get along. Lets not allow politics and the general running of each club/forum interfere with what we enjoy.
I think this them & us attitude is unhealthy, we all have something  to contribute to our VW world.

Go back to switzerland, hippie!  :laugh:  :grin:

Haha nah fair point rich, but at the end of the day we are all as you say enthusiasts... so you'd expect mutual respect between eachother but from what ive read on that forum it seems theres very little respect there... and when theres no mutual respect the "us and them" attitude is really all you can expect :)

only ever been a member on here and E38, found both pretty much ok, but both ave made me feel like deleting mi account at one time or another, i feel like i'm blanked a lot on here, think golf-pro's the only 1 who comments on my car (cheers phil  :wink:, or is it in mi head), yet on E38, ave had a the odd 1 trying to say i'm a chav, for mi metal-flake paint and led's for indicators, till loads jumped on him and told him to button it, inc  Sweetland, can't fault that, as for clubgti, don't know em, never been on it, nor care too.......

as for who i'd represent if mi car turns out well, there's only 1 answer (GTI.CO.UK), was 1st forum of any kind i joined, so thats where mi loyalty would be.......

I was a member of cgti for 2 years and used the forum for 3. I stopped one day and haven't been back on since. I was also the membership secretary for the club. Again told them where to stick it as i had enough of the attitude. Doesn't say much about a club does it.

I unfortunately signed up to ClubGti 1st and paid the £25.00,  for that i got an out of date magazine and a flyer with rules you wouldn't hear of in a court house,  i agree with the admin that both sites should interact but feel that this site is best by far with members been very forthright and honest,  and your not afraid to express your point of view on any topic :smug: :smug: :smug:


If it is a 90 mph per hour wind and you drive your car at 90mph downwind, if you stick your head outside would you feel the wind?

I got your back homes, I may not agree with some of the mods you've done, but who cares if I don't, thats the whole scene. My view is that some people have gained access to some of these sites to stir up the scene, just check the amount of posts they have, it's as if they want to disrupt our appreciation of other peoples hard graft.

It's amazing sometimes how 'playground' it gets sometime, but nearly every time on here the banter is good, there seems to be alot less deleted posts on here as compared to other forums.
