And before anyone says it, it's a National Speed Limit road

Is that supposed to be impressive?

[Gridl0k]

Feel free to post pictures of your car spitting flames..

From under the bonnet doesn't count.

Why comment if you don't appreciate it?

Sorry, I wasn't aware that this was a "positive comments only" thread..

To be honest, the flames are weak and not really worthy of a dedicated thread..

[Gridl0k]

You're right, there is only a finite amount of space available on these forums and I apologise for using up valuable space with something you don't like.

Ha ha ha ha

WTF?

[Muzzer]

I can't believe that

a) You've gone to the effort of recording that
b) You've gone to the effort of uploading it to Youtube
c) You've started a thread on it thinking it looks good
d) You're then indignant when you received criticism

Nice looking MK2 and suits the wheels IMO, but quite a pointless video.

Sorry, thought this was the "Reader's Cars" section of PistonHeads.

Have I somehow misunderstood the meaning of this? Because I like the sound of my car, like the fact that it shoots blue flames on a gearchange and happen to have a video of both of these?

The irony of people spending time writing comments saying that I wasted my time is pretty good. There's a load of other threads that none of you have commented on that you might also not enjoy, if that helps.

Your cars nice, but the flames and video are hardly impressive.

If you'd have posted some nice photos it would have been a different set of responses.

Where are these flames of which you speak?

[Gridl0k]

Already did, months ago. Can't find the thread now. Perhaps this would have been better as a new post on that thread, but I don't see the bit that says "don't post random videos of your car unless you want a load of people criticising it because it's not their cup of tea".

They're the blue things coming out of the exhaust in the above photo.

Sorry, but I have to agree. That really was quite a pointless bit of video. My old MK2 Golf Driver used to do it occasionally before I replaced the fuel filter, which absolutely no modifications. Wasn't that impressive then either.

I think Titanic is a pointless film but I don't go to James Cameron's house and stick notes through his letterbox telling him this.

These are flames, and look pretty cool. Yours, err, doesn't.

If I can get someone to film the back of my car, ill show you some proper flames!

Fella. This is Pistonheads.

PH - 'Taking the Piss out of a really crap thread Matters'

Don't be so sensitive. Have a watch again and try to understand why no-one's impressed in any way whatsoever.

None intended (and you're probably making it worse for yourself by being a bit huffy)
