I feel the love :grin:

To be honest they aren't too bad here in "sunny" Sheffield :smiley:

I don't usually offer the initial wave, but i'm always on the lookout for other GTIs incase someone else appreciates them like I do.

I'll tell you what is more disappointing, is when I see a nice GTI and think oh cool lets see what they look like or I wonder if they fancy a quick squirt, or merely just a nod, only to pull up next to what can only be described as a granny driving. Unbelievable, so many middle aged / old women driving them its sad, the cars clearly never seen 4,000 revs in its life, what a waste.  :angry :lipsrsealed:

I also came across a lovely blue R32 in slow dual carriageway traffic. alongside thinking the other bloke might look across too for some sort of mutual respect but othing. just an old boring git completely oblivious to everything.   :cry:

i say stick these fools in peugeot's and be done with it. only sell the GTI to those that appreciate it!

ive had several face to face encounters with admirers of the car, always saying "nice motor mate" especially if i visit a friends car valet centre for its weekly brush up, always get other punters saying what a great looking car the Edition30 is.(very good for the ego)

Get long stares from R32 owners, and always see GTi owners clock me as i drive past, but dont icknowledge with any hand gestures!.(ie waves  :wink:)
Only from a couple of candy white ed30's that ive seen have i had the thumbs up from.

waving and flashing is reserved for old school cars.
