Do you flash?
But what really annoys me, is when you see a mk1 coming the other way, flash and wave like a lemon, only to find its some old bloke and a dog in a Polo wondering what they've done wrong! 8O :roll:
btw, i love it when someone flashes me, but i have to check my full beam if its not a mk1!

Most mk2 owners I see are little chavs so they probably don't even know what a mk1 is!
VW's of the aircooled variety are normally quite friendly to me, maybe I've just been lucky so far! :dontknow:

'Oh it's just a little hatchback thing' :roll:
Mind you not many bay and spilt owners wave, probably cos splitty owners are too busy looking for loose change in the seats after spending ?20grand on a resto and bay owners are still too depressed that they couldn't afford they splitty they've always dreamed of. :twisted:

Never by anything air-cooled or, funnily enough by a Mk1 cabrio.
You can sit alongside a beetle, splitty or a bay in a queue on the M5 (where most of them seem to be) and you won't get a flicker

Probably because they're wondering when their engines will start to overheat as they're not going fast enough.

in my old g40 and my 2 mk1s ill wave at nearly every vw owner out there, most are either old people who look scared, business people who give you a dirty look, and chavs who just want to race or arent impressed because there isnt 12 million inch hoops on the car and an exhaust that could suck up a school.
even on the way to dubfreeze rolling in my mates pug waving at all the transporters and buses they were just giving up dirty looks and only 1 waved back
its not as class as the old mini styles, people just dont seem that arsed

Aircooled engines when set up properly will run slightly cooler at idle than when travelling . When they aren't set up properly they overheat and end up like this!!!! ouch
I have a 73 camper and a mk1 golf, and flash mk1/2 golfs, beetles and campers no matter which one i'm in.
