Spotted 2 Reds and I got spotted....

This afternoon between 2:00 and 3:00pm while travelling East on A35, I spotted 2 red Ed30's about half-an-hour apart travelling in opposite direction. First was on a roundabout with an attractive raven-haired lady probably in early 40's who hooted and waved back - Makes a change and her response was unexpected. Second was also a lady but short fair haired and very plain looking and she ignored my polite wave and smile. There must be something to learn from that - Beauty is from inside and the plain one is dull inside as well?

I became aware that a big white VW van following me was photographing my car. So I got spotted and photographed by someone. I opened my sunroof and waved a thumbs up. I assume he was an enthusiast. Was around Dorchester bypass on A35.

I seem to see more women driving GTI's than blokes and most of both don't wave. They're usually driven like grannies too. Why did they buy a GTI? The raven haired beauty took the roundabout enthusiastically - A lady with some character! Much more passion. I don't much like dull conservative people of either gender.

Edition30:
Im always polite and give the old wave back, some damn miserable people about in the UK.

On my way to blackpool once (when I had the Astra Sporthatch) a group of girls drove by and took it a step further and flashed us, full torso out the window and baps flapping in the wind, was quality, had to oblige and flash back  :jumping:

vwrascal:
I love it when other GTI's give you the thumbs up   :happy2:  A CW R32 waved t'other day too   :drinking:

RedRobin:
^^^^
And extra nice when it's a female! [when you are an old stag like me without a gf]



:happy2:

I think most GTIs are still in fleet ownership, and the owner doesn't really care about the scene too much.  In a few years things will be different.

I'm more discreet and give GTI drivers a nod, most smile or wave back.  I found that waving first made people think I was some kind of nutter!

Around my way, Tornado Red VWs are cop magnets so I have to drive it sensibly.  I used to get it in my Polo GT and Corrado G60 and I thought it was because I was in my late teens.  A few years have passed and all was well until I got a red GTI and I've noticed cops following me much more.  I never had a problem in my dark SEATs!
