MK5 gti drivers.
« on: 04 May 2007, 15:43 »
I'm really sorry as i'm sure there are plenty of nice people driving MK5 gti's....
I just have never met one. All the people driving them around our way seem to be complete idiots who obviously have gone to the dealership with too much money and asked for the best spec and been sold one.
Some spastic middle aged power woman nearly ran into my girlfriend in a car park then accused her of being at fault, i barely escaped some mid-life crisis lane-changing baffoon who couldn't drive for sh!t.
Doe's anyone else have similar experiences or perhaps there are just plenty of chumps around the south east with too much money who want to buy in to the gti thing??

it seems that they never want to associate with people who own the older golfs, not generalising but thats just the impression i get.

for eg i was in a traffic jam and there was this tornado red mark 5 gti going the opposite way, i looked at him he looked at me so i nodded as if to say, nice car. just blanked me. :sad:

exactly, i am unsure what to do with mark 3 owners, coz when i used to have a mark 2, mark 3 owners never responded.

i think with the case of most gti owners, they just have a gti because they have been given it, or they have bought it cheap. Rather than having a high interest in gti's and so don't look out for other VAG cars. if i see a nice looking car then I will give a nod but 9 times out of 10 I get nothing back

they're are two other mk2 big bumper tornado red 8v gti's around my way and they both wave and i have also been known to *ahem* race a little with them :cool:


I don't think a semi will give the same results

its not only mk5s though, i find that i rarely get any response from most mk5, mk4 & mk3 drivers and usually get ignored by most aircooled stuff too (which surprises me as you must be an enthusiast to own a beetle or camper etc, i love aircooled but always get the impression that they dont like watercooled very much). This is just usually tho, there are exceptions.

The majority of mk1's mk2s and Rado's flash or wave.
