I've been on EastsideVW a fair bit and yes,they can come across as a bunch of wankers,but it really is only one or two on there that has a detrimental effect on the whole site.
But they believe that they are there "for the banter and if you don't like it or can't take it then f**k off" being the motto...
There used to be a fair few guys with knowledge on there,but I think they've been pissed off by the 'certain few' and are barely on there.
It is certainly one of the most clique riddled sites I've been on,but being primarily based in Aberdeenshire and most of the ones on there working in the oil industry,it's kind of understandable that there will be an old boys element in there....not to mention some of the cash being flashed by the standard of some of the motors in the members ride section.
I enjoy it in here,but I feel that for whatever reason,it has become a little stale lately.
