Wanna race me?

oh my god, i swear the gti just intimidates people!

Yeah as others have said this happens frequently...but i have noticed that as soon as I put the Nurburgring sticker on the back of my car it got a hell of a lot worse!!!!!! Strange!

Ha ha... Same here.. Must be a German racing logo also..

Maybe my daily route doesn't include enough traffic lights? But I rarely get this happen. Can only think of one occasion and that ended in the obvious result

  same as me then they just take one look at the badges on the back and drive up my arse and its stupid as 9 times out of 10 i have my 19month old son in the back  .I have had everything from bmws to bloody ford mondeo's trying to have a go and most of the time i let them get on with it but once in a while i just push the throttle a little just so they know its not stock so dont even try it

I had this last night on the way back from folks house with Mrs in the car. Had a Mk2 that came sniffing just as we entered onto the DC. Just gave it a blip upto 70 and lobbed it straight in 6th and continued at 70 whilst I watched him cruise slowly by, probably thinking, "Mmmm, think i'll leave that one well alone.."

I never get this in mine, cant recall one time since I have had it where someone in a sh!tty old car has really tried to have a go, been lucky I suppose!

same, dont really get the saxo crew on my bumper, perhaps they are a little more clever up north, and know they will get p!ssed on

In a DSG GTI on a country road no one tries it on.  You just don't realise how rapid and smoothly the car flows from bend to bend.  Most manuals struggle to keep up afer a mile or so (fed up gear changing I suspect).

In town the spotty Herberts do that lurchy 1st gear acceleration thing when in front of the GTI, I love to see it.

(Audi TTs are the worst)

I think it's largely because style-wise the GTi is so low key, especially from behind.

I had a guy right on my bumper in a BMW 320Si plastered in BMW Motorsport livery. Followed me off a roundabout on to a dual carriage way, let him get alongside me, then annihilated him. It's in situations like that were the GTi feels like a very quick car, when someone in a decent bit of metal who is trying their best, simply doesn't stand a chance.

On the motorway it's very difficult to spot a GTi from a sensible gap between cars. I had some boys in an Clio pull up to me in heavy traffic on the M62 a while ago who had the audacity to flash and wave me to pullover, even though I was doing around 70mph. I stayed put until the traffic eased, gave them a wave, and disappeared. Tools.

I had an idiot in a corsa 1.2 nose to bumper on the motorway on the way back from the blackpool meet. I was in the third lane and he comes flying right up behind me with his fog lights on flashing and waving frantically. I pulled into the middle lane and let him get along side me, he tried getting past but there was no chance some skinny little chav was getting past with a cockey attitude like that. I put my foot down and left him, only for him to come flying back down  behind me again:angry:. This time i let him past and he give me the w*nker sign and then pulled infront of me cutting me up . This wound me up so i flashed him and was signalling him the pull over so i could teach him a little lesson . Obviously he was a little sh!tbag and was having none of it and got off at the next junction.
Really wish he would of pulled over
I need to start a new thread "who have you beat up in your gti?"
