The one who pulled a hissy fit about his opinion that tints are for "homo's"?
Nice car mind. I reckon those aerials are obviously nicked off Hondas (most Honda's have the same aerials on them).

Yeah this was mentioned before I think because I bought one a while back and I'm almost positive it was this advert I saw. It is nice looking though

Yeah it's Phils old GTi, the seller asked me for a pic of mine with the aerial on as well after I fitted it.
Although you could actually see the aerial in the pic I sent him.

Slightly off subject but it's still a spotted members old car
I believe I saw your Polo at Bluewater to Ollie_R
Take it you sold it as it was?
... you did sell it right?

Yeah, that was me
I haven't sold it yet; there's not much interest for it as it is, so I'm starting the process of parting it out.

Think he was the guy who sold his GTi "to give the money to his mum"...
Then a bought an Audi A3 or something a week later?

Yeah that was him. Then binned the A3 off after a month or two complaining it wasn't fast enough or some such codswallop!

Nah, he was alright, he had a good taste in cars and everything. He seemed a bit arrogant at times, i.e. when he had the hissy fit over tints.
Actually it's quite funny when people take their opinions a bit too far.

what happened? i tried searching for something but didnt find anything. I only found a thread of him asking for pics of a car with tints cos he fancied it?

f*****g chill out, i was just kidding, i guess im too used to club polo, and forgot how offended people get on here.
Apologies.
To be fair, he apologised though. He edited his original post on that thread from "They look gay, tints are for homos" or something to "They look nice".
It was a bit out of order for him to say that people get offended on here, opposed to CP. At least we have an club house, I'd imagine it must get boring on there; talking about cars all the time.

Having met and dealt with Phil in the past (I have his Eibach springs on my car) and also spoke to him a lot, I'd defend the fact he's a decent guy.
Also the comment he made shown above (quite a while ago now) about here and Club Polo, I can kind of see the context behind it. On here, if people don't like what you've done to your car I believe that they're unlikely to say anything, whereas on Club Polo they're more likely to tell you "that looks crap" "I don't like it" etc.
Overall I'd say there's a fine line between arrogance and opinion, and that it comes down to personal interpretation a lot of the time.
