Just me or I see one of these on the road I give them a WIDE birth and go into maximum 'anticipation of imminent ******** mode'.

Happened yet again today with some kind of subaru with a scoop in the bonnet garnered the affection of a golf R who both went into RACE mode with both of them being behind cars respecting the speed limit.

My favourite golf R moment was someone launch -moding me at lights to cut me off so he can make the turn onto the dual carriageway ahead of me (I was in a sicrocco R at the time, go figure) then proceed to reverse 70-80m down the dual carriageway way to talk to his friend outside a shop.

Just me? Post your Golf R stories I want to hear them.
 
Yeh I got smoked as I'm at light waiting to turn right. He pulls up and holds revs at 3000rpm launches turns hard right in front of me when he's in the lane to go straight on over the junction.. Yes he totally smoked me as I was really trying to keep up in my FWD scirocco R. Yes it was a drag race that I lost. I forgot you were there too. Damn.

Ohhh you've really touched a nerve how ever will I go on.

I've really learnt a lesson from you thanks.
 
You should follow certidrivers on Instagram - Golf R owners who conform 100% to the stereotypes. Many examples of “interesting” driving to be found there. :p
 
the worse "I drive a scirocco R and wonder why golf R's want to race me" Thread ever , on a serious note and jokes aside Driving in and around bradford a lot i seem to get Golf R and S3's up my chuff all the time i dont usually entertain em not worth the fall out, I just shrug it off and go about my day thinking what a ****** . Have gotten into heated debates at lights with bells who have nearly smashed into me to lane jump etc
 
I think it’s more that it’s both a fast hatch and there’s more of them on the road then you can shake a stick at. With probability thrown into the mix, the chances are a fair few of them are going to be driven by ***** who think it’s the fastest thing on the road.

That, my friend, is Haldex Lyfe.

You just need a faster car.
360 bhp and an autobox that changes reasonably quickly generally does the job.

Got a 3 cylinder 1 series from work which is all shouty m badges and on 19s this seems to garner the attention of the golf R brigade


Take the jag out they don’t look twice. Which is a pity
 
I don't drive a Scirocco now I'm referring to something that happened in the past.

I still don't care if I can beat golf Rs (I can) or any car for that matter as the streets are not for racing. There are always faster cars no one is immune.

The real point of this thread was to humourously share stories about stereotypes who drive Golf Rs. As is more commonplace on these forums though the very first poster has the power to derail/get the thread blocked by mods.

Round here it’s far more commonly the teenage/twenty something Fiesta ST driver (or possibly ST line) that has “stanced” their “whip” and fitted an exhaust that makes it sound like a diesel on idle and like a flatulent elephant when being revved. 9/10 they are being driven at breakneck speed through a busy high street typically failing to stop for the zebra crossing outside of Sainsburys.
 
No they don't. Physically I can is not the same that I care. In the same way I don't care I will lose to a 918.
 
On their own, no, but when you state one right after the other, it would imply that, even if you don’t think you do, you do indeed care that you can beat it.

If you really didn’t care, you wouldn’t have needed to state you can beat it to begin with ;)
