i was pulled up the other day and a rado pulled up in front of me, so i nodded to the bloke who drove it and he gave me a dirty look, as if to say "what the hell are you looking at?!?!". He was about 40 so thought he would have had some courtesy to notise that i was admiring his car

I only get nod's/thumbs up and such from young mk2 GTI drivers ... mk3's and above dont seem to want to be associated with anything lower :laugh:

ha ha quite pathetic really, i always try and wave although get ignored like one says by the mark 3s and above, i usually get a stare. I never bother to mark 5 owners cos they are snobs in general and i wouldnt waste my time and energy. No offence to any sound owners here.
i must buy a new car!

me and my little man do the usual ' no worries dude' to any other car that we like the look of, but having a mk3, i have to admit, its only mk1-2's that nod back

Hey you guys :shocked:

I ALWAYS let out the dub guys from side roads, never look down on anyone just because their car isn't as new as mine (in most cases they are extremely well looked after and that's what I like to see) and I do enjoy the whole VW vibe as it's more a family thing (group hug :rolleyes:) than other makes would even come close to. :smiley:

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

Fair play matey, its unfair to tar all with the same brush and as i said it really is not only or all mk5 drivers, if anything its nicer when you do get respect from someone whos car is probably worth about 10 times as much as your own but is still obviously an enthusiast rather than someone who has it just as a company car or status symbol.

Its also good when you see a new wave dub being used properly, i remember one occasion with my old mk2 turbo when i had a bit of a drag race along a long straight with an R32 & got a respectful flash and nod as i turned off!
