Polo pride

Is it just me or are you all more likely to forgive a polo? :lol:

I find im quite prone to road rage (although i am calming down, i think it may just be beginners excitement)

I do generally get annoyed when people jump the queue and butt in, stick their noses out of junctions, go 35 in a 50 mph zone etc...

but if its a polo i quite happily let them in queues, not just that but i'll follow them,keeping to the tyres on tarmac rule, with a slight yet evident 'its a polo' smile on my face.

i also find myself lookin at polo owners in mirrors and giving them the 'we're cool' look. 8) :lol:

Is this just me? :oops:

we're just so uber cool.. especially the ones that have the carzone body kits. i'm sure you'll find quite a few idiot polo drivers as you drive around places and your opinion will change, however it's nice to see a nicely modified polo every now and then, however i really do hate it when i see a polo gone to waste, like a gti sitting on 17s near my uni (wolfrace as well), it just doesn't go

I'm the same, but I do it with other cars, too. For example, when I gave my car a drive last Wednesday, I saw a Caterham Seven coming the other way, and I gave the owner a wave. He probably thought I was some sort of bearded loon with silly glasses, but I liked his car.

I do this when I'm driving the Mini, I always give another Mini owner a wave :mrgreen:

after reading this i though i am going to (for at least a week) only thank polo's and only let out polo's.

started earlier when i dropped my girlfriend off.

let out a polo and waved at 3.

my girlfriend said i'm an idiot :lol:



the polo i let out i slowed down from like 50 to about 20 just to let it out, i felt sorry for him as the que behind me was bad so he would've never got out - my excuse :roll:




:lol:

I'm usually like that to VAG's in general, except if there's old people behind the wheel. :lol:

I'm totally with you, have a major soft spot for polos and generally Dub's, always give them the benefit of the doubt, and sometimes follow modded polos to get a better look and show off my little beast..haha

I'm a polo stalker!

i pulled up next to a silver 3 dr 9N just today! was being driven by a 60 yr old woman, i gave her a quick wink and thumbs up whilst checking her, and the car out! :lol:

she got the idea and laughed,

...we later exchanged numbers at the next traffic lights.

Hehe I do this too, I try to be nice (on the roads) to the majority of VW's, and extra nice if it's a Polo or a GTI.
Also when im parking if it all possible i'll park next to or near to another Polo. (Not entirely sure why I do it, I just feel compelled to). Last week I got a space in a large car park right next to another Polo and when I came back to my car a third Polo had parked in the row and a Bora next to that (the row of VW badges looked well cool). Coincidence? maybe, or possibly its some kind of VW driver solidarity?

haha I did the same yesterday, I went into a fairly empty car park and sat my gti right next to a silver one...they had the heated leather lucky bastards...but my wheels were nicer :)
