Anyone seen letting the side down?

[Mouse_GTI]

I'd like to think us Polo owners are a little more sensible than your boy racers in their Corsas and Saxos etc. So imagine how pissed off I was today when some arsehole in a standard Polo GTI decided to scream past me in the wrong lane and cut in front of me on purpose. Once I got round the corner I nailed it down past him and did the same to him to see how he liked it. He wasn't happy, and once we got to a set of lights and crossroads, he was sitting behind me. Lights went green and I set off normally, and he absoultely ragged it past me in front of oncoming traffic. What was the point?

yeh i know what you mean mate, had that kinda thing happen a few times.

I guess some people just don't see it in the same way, If I see another GTi I normally give them a flash or something

i can tell u y they do it........ because they think theyre big and dont like being shown up....... specially if the other person has the same car as them. they obviously have no respect for other drivers and high chance of them not having a clean licence either. if anything it makes them look stupid cause if i see someone do that i normally ask myself the same question......... wats the point? most of the time one way or another u end up being behind them at the next lights or going past them in traffic and then thinking to urself............ yea u got far didnt u... not so big now.....

i hate people that do that to but as long as no ones hurt, especially my car or me, i just let them get on with it.

Yeh exactly, and in the long run they wont get as far anyway cos you use twice your petrol driving like that

How you can condone his driving when you decided to repeat his manoeuvre is beyond me !

Like you said:

What was the point?

Hit the nail on hte head there I feel!

[Mouse_GTI]

I just get really agitated when something like this happens

Even still. It then doesn't excuse you for doing the exact same thing, just because you think it's wrong but do it anyway to "teach him a lesson".

There's no moral high ground when you stoop to the level of who you're criticising.

[Mouse_GTI]

I know and agree. I'm really bad for that. The point of my thread is more to highlight people who drive like a t**t all the time. I certainly didn't give him any encouragement in the first place

[MaxZ]

Now think about what other people on the road must be thinking of you? 2 Polos undertaking each other and racing on the open road

[Mouse_GTI]

I wasn't racing, I shot past him once because he pissed me off

[h4r1s]

this is why the general public does not diffrentiate between us and chav's

[Mouse_GTI]

So I was driving like a chav, sitting at lights then setting off for someone to almost take my bumper off? I've admitted I rose to the bait a little and shot past him once round the corner, but after that I let him get on with it, so it far from makes me a chav. I wasn't the one overtaking people at a set of traffic lights with oncoming traffic in one of Aberdeens busiest roads

[h4r1s]

sorry wasn't calling you a chav, was just saying generally. because i've seen plenty of dubbers try to race me for no reason i just carry on as i would normally

[Mouse_GTI]

That's ok then, sorry for misreading I definately never encourage this time of stuff ever, there's just no excuse, especially when driving the exact same model of car
