When it comes to women they always complayn about how stiff the car is and all that sh!t. When they see it the first time they co like: Is this really your car, i like it. But for real, this car aint no chick magnet. Here in Iceland it isnt. The good thing  about the stiffness is that the girls want to go some where else and you know where that leads. "Wana come to my place" :grin: :laugh:. The point is, I love it and dont care if you dont like it. :cool:

must admit I've noticed more of a chemistry with the ladies on the road since I've had the golf, keeping eye contact, stroking their hair.... might just have to register with datemyplate and cast a net out there to see what I can catch..lol ;) (...and when I say ladies of the road I mean ladies in other cars, not walking the streets looking for trade :P )

....Does such a site really exist? I wonder what they'd make of my Throbbin' Red VW05 RED! :evil:

I don't get as many looks as I used to get in my Mk 4 R32, but still get a few.  With the R32 people heard it before they saw it so turned round to see what was coming then admired the car as I drove past!

Hi

I get a lot of stares mainly by under 20's and people who have nice cars themselves.

When I first got it I liked it now it can be a bit of a pain especially if I return to the car in a car park and people are looking around it I find that a bit embarrassing.

Every time I take the car out i get people staring at it whilst i drive by...locally in Gib i think every one is used to seeing the car as it is such a small place but when i take it to spain iv seen some people do some funny stuff...iv had thumbs ups from young kids on bicycles, iv had a boy stop at a green light to tell me "Que guapo ta el coche", which means, how nice your car is, and over in Marbella, Puerto Banus where you see all kind of Ferraris, Porsches etc I had a guy taking pictures of my car...must be something about that Tornado Red  :cool:

As title, driving passed a couple of pubs today at a progressive  :cool: rate and had a few people stare, how do Gti's sound when going past you quite quick ?, sporty or diesel dog  :laugh:

Get a few looks, I think it's the 18" Monza's that initially grab a person's attention!
