ten golf hates.

My gripe is not car specific but more owners.....

I hate people with 16v Golfs who think that people with 8v Golfs are a lower life form...Not ALL 16v owners, but some! [:^(]

Seeing as they are all Golfs, there is no need for this Elitism..

I love embarassing kids in valvers who think they're gonna take a leak on my asthmatic standard 8v when they pull alongside or drive right on my tail!

Correct me if you think im wrong, but it definitely exists. The other 8v owners amongst us will relate to it im sure

 

i wouldnt really feel that embarassed about getting beat by a 2l 8v with 155bhp tho???

if it was a standard 8v and it beat me i would...

 

nice one even if mine is sick at the moment

Oh yeah another hate...... Gearbox's..

 

Its like the North/South divide.

Everyone know the North is better, the Southerers just wont admit it.

 

What about the Midlands

 

No mans land

 

washer jets with lights on

 

stereos
heaters/air con
rear seats
comfy front seats
sunroof
carpets
sound deadening
glass

and

ecotek valves
neons
obsessions with 0-60 times*
etc etc i could go on all day

*driver orientated rather than car

 

Yeah, I hate those too

 

My golf has got 5 doors,loud paint and M3 mirrors but i don't care cos i love it.
That's what it's all about aint it?

 

*deep breath*
- saxos,
- novas,
- corsas,
- chrome wheels that arent on pimp trucks,
- bedford rascals ... so unstable,
- the new mini.. what a fraud,
- tinted windows in colours other than black,
- townies in any car or walking actually
- golfs like mine that mist up all the time,
- when people allow their cars to get rusty,
- cherry bombs on any car,
- big wheels that just look bad.. generally over 18",
- smoothed tailgates,
- sunstrips,
- led washer jets,
- led tax discs,
- led gear knobs,
- comedy gearknobs like the ones with skulls on,
- smokey diesels,
- metal flake paint on crappy cars,
- roof vents on regular cars,
- alloy spoilers on hatchback roofs,
- golf headlight power,
- golf heater matrix/ valves,
- oldies driving around in fast cars,
- little t**ts that vandalise cars .. especially mine ,
- people who change lanes suddenly on dual carriageway/ motorway,
- bodykits on golfs,
- Halfords since they ripped me off!!

sorry went a bit off topic there

 

Errr, they were meant to be "Golf hates" - is a Saxo part of a golf?

 

they're what make us feel good about our golfs

 

Drive a 16v on a Saturday night in most city centres and Saxos become part of owning a Golf

 

These arent just on Golfs but I see some many of them on every car its just driving me nuts now!!

Like mentioned a lot b4

Gotta be those stoopid light up washer jets, which dont seem to come in any colour except blue

Pathetic, crap and cheap looking Lexus?? style lights

and of course... M3 bloody mirrors...

EVERYWHERE!

 

The useless design of the exhaust hangers on mk2s?

elastic bands would be just as good methinks.

 

mine hangs way too low (exhaust that is) with standard length rubbers - i had to tie my last exhaust right up to the hanger with nylon rope so that it sits higher then put on rubber for mot. gonna have to do the same with this one too...

 

wow! Talk about a thread revival

Anyway, there is one fundamental fault that I am sure we all suffer when owning a Golf GTI... Ever had that "I-am-just-popping-somewhere-and-will-take-it-easy-cause-I-wanna-chill-and-save-petrol" kinda journey, only to find that 2 seconds behind the wheel and you cant help but drive it fast and chuck it around like your Micheal Schumacher

So annoying

 

Normal cheapy crappy rubber hanger + Jubilee clip wrapped round the outside of it does the job perfectly.


Even the expensive ones from powerflex end up heating up and falling apart after heavy track use
