Ok, apologies to any i've offended. I think my views, in part, stem from when i was
younger and my next door neighbour made the rear of his mk3 escort 1.6 gl look like
the xr3i and people laughed at him, well it's happening today and i'm not a fan.
Honesty is the best policy
I think you've made your point and some things you say make sense, but it's clear with your views that you are never going to like much about this particular car as it's intended to be different and far from standard! Therefore this thread isn't for you clearly and posting in it won't get you anywhere... Why not click the ignore button on this thread and save many people having to ignore your comments
In my experience its not what u say rather how u say it, for example i could say that Tommy30 was a complete idiot or i could say that tommy30 could possibly phrase his comments in a slight better way. I wouldnt dream of saying someone's car was sh1t i may however communicate that it wasnt to my liking..... I was once told that if you put yourself out there then youve gotta be able to take it so its all water of a ducks back, with the cars i build im used to it by now i
I build
MY cars the way
I want to and if people like them all's the better, if not its no big deal
Im not trying to big my self up here and I know the mk5 dont appeal to "everyone" but in my experience its liked by most, ive had everything from 12 year old boys in the street to old grannies at Tesco telling me how nice the car is. Its had 5 magazine features, 3 covers and ive still got mags banging at my door to shoot it, the impact the car had on the VW community when it broke cover was said to have been the biggest in 10 years. If im honest the only negativity ive ever experienced has came from this forum which i can understand as you guys are the core fan club (dare i say purists) for the MK5 GTI etc etc.
As i said earlier in this thread i'll be sure to keep u guys up to date with how things progress with the car
u never know it might start ticking some of "haters" boxes .....there again maybe not
