Yep, happens to me as well. Usually the local 17 year olds who think that they're pretty cool revving up their 1.0 wheely-bin while doing that 'pointing at their eyes, then at you, and then down the road' thing out of rubbish action movies.

I usually just turn left while they scream off into the distance. It really pisses them off...

I've always toyed with the idea of getting a GTI and de-GTIing it. Remove radiator grille badge and red trim and rebadge the tailgate as a 1.2. I'm sure hilarity would ensue if you got into a tussle with someone :lol: Unfortunately, I do 200 miles a week and feel the TDI is better suited to me. Costs me about £25 a week in fuel.

Slightly off topic, but how many miles do you 9n3 GTI guys get from a fully brimmed tank till the light comes on? I suppose I could try a PD130 and rebadge it as an SDI...

While you're at it you could also put standard springs back on, buy some 15" steelies with 165/70 tyres and some Halfords hub caps, de-colour code the bump strips and door handles and finish it off with some 'P' plates 8) Ballin'

It works for these!
same thing happened to me lol but never crossed my mind to p*** on people lmfao

I always get jokers trying to see how close they can get to my bumper
i don't mind when im on my own i just take off 9/10 times what ever is behind me can't get near
but when the misses and kid in the car it pisses me off, i don't think people really think it's a real git iv had loads of people ask me if its real or if iv done an engine swap
