Hi all After recently buying one of my sons a Polo for his 17th i thought it would be good to join a polo forum and get some info flowing and maybe acquire some parts rarther than Fleabaying for them So i found the Clubpolo forum and joined up along with my son.... 3 days later and i still have not had my membership approved by the Admin, i cant email the admin either as i get a returned message .. Ok i then found UK Polo and joined up My membership was approved within 24 hrs and as i could not find a 'new members' section like we have here i posted in as close a forum as i could, 24 hrs later my post was approved and viewable But since then 2 other posts have not appeared as they are being approved by an admin too .. Grr Ok the 3rd one did have me ranting about censorship and moaning i could not post So i have decided to tell my son to Join CGTI and post in this Polo section Stuff them Polo forum running communistic censorship loving nincompoops ! Slim
And people have a moan about us! we do try to listen - honest! being a polo their prob rebuilding the diff bearings, or changing the water flange lol
you wont get much help from people on clubpolo, dont get me wrong you get the odd member that offers help / advice, though most of the time its all the members that are in their own little 'click' that respond by basically saying find out for yourself etc
Yes we kinda got that Its shame as every polo forum we have visited has been the same, no one says much, certainly no advice like here Not to worry tho He may not have a GTI but i'm sure the CGTI guys wont mind steve
Steve, What Polo have you bought for your son? Year/engine? This forum should be able to answer pretty much anything relating to Polo as well as Golf vehicles. Just make sure you/he gives lots of information when asking questions
He is Savagesam on here and has posted it as his first car in this section Its a 98 6N 1.4 in Chaggal (see gross) Blue Have a look at his post Steve
Not quite sure what people expect when joining a Polo forum - it's going to be a first car for most people, so naturally it's full of 17-21 year olds! Like CGTI, Club Polo's had its fair share of forum technical issues and sadly it is running seriously out of date forum software at the moment. This means we have to approve every new account manually to avoid the forum being taken over by spambots. There are hundreds and hundreds of new account applications every day to trawl through - manually... We're still desperately searching for a web admin to upgrade the forum back-end for us to rid us of this issue, but none of the volunteers over the last 3 years have been capable. We then tried paying someone to do it for us, but he dropped out part-way through so we're back to square one! If you need any accounts activating (if they haven't been already), then PM me on here and I'll sort it. There's a wealth of information on there and a very active classifieds section too.
There are also some very good builds on there with shoehorning engines in that you would swear they wouldn't fit, plus interesting & highly power-dense 16v 1.4/1.6 hybrid motors. Yes there are a few kids there too but you get that on other Golf forums too that are a little bit more scene trendy
Well I sent two PM`s to amstrange1 asking if he could approve me on clubpolo as he suggests but both of them have gone unanswered ? I just went to logon and it now says Sorry, we could not find a member using those log in details. I give up !!
Sorry, I missed the PMs - the 'notifications' bit on here is a bit too subtle! Should now be sorted though.
In brief I got to join Club Polo, but was totally ignored when asking some newbie questions regarding buying a Polo, so I found UK-Polo.net far more helpful, which helped us buy our Polo Gti 18T, which I am more than made up with.
