Once you notice this you will not stop noticing it....be warned!!!!!!!!

...is it just me who is being stalked by VW Transporter vans?

Honestly, my journey to/from work is becoming like an episode of Dr Who. They are everywhere!

10 mile trip, about 20 minutes.  Last week's record was 19; broke it Monday morning with 23 (and 20 on the way home).

Got a bit distracted by err...actually driving...this morning and forgot to count.

However, saw 5 before I'd even left my work car park this evening, and TWENTY SIX in total on the way home!!

  • You have your problems and I have mine.

    Every morning I look out from my window and I see the same cars parked in the same places.  

    They are definitely watching me and they are up to something.  I even see the same people walking to and from them.  

    Some of you may think that I am paranoid and imagining things.  But I promise you, I am not.  This is real.  These cars and people really exist.

  • PMSL! Thank you so much for making me smile :-)

  • The Doctor and her companions decided to go for a drive one day. As they were pootling along, the Doctor kept having a strange sense that something odd was going on. "What's that?" she said, "ooh, and that", "ooh, and that" as she suddenly became aware that EVERY SINGLE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THEM BESIDE THEM BEHIND THEM was a VW Transporter van.

    She turned to her companions to ask them if they knew what was happening...only to discover her companions had disappeared and had been replaced by VW Transporter vans....."Aa..." she stared to scream but was cut off as the grinning grille of a VW Transporter van devoured her in one easy bite.

    The End.

  • Everything happens for a reason. 

    What have you been doing to get on their radar? 

    1. Who have you been speaking to?
    2. What websites have you visited?
    3. Where have you been?
    4. What suspicious activity have you indulged in?

    Most importantly,  now that I have replied to this thread will the men in white coats in the back vans come after me?

  • I don't often see VW busses on the roads - I'm being stalked and harassed by Toyota Prius hybrids.  They're everywhere - all driven by a**holes.   All doing the wrong thing - wrong speed wrong lane, wrong positioning at roundabouts, poor lane discipline, inability to keep up with traffic, hesitant and sloppy.     

    Kill them all.

  • We're being over run by VW Transporter vans! 

  • You're right - I've seen 4 just scrolling down this thread!

  • Trainspotters are often Very Worrying. The movie, or the men!

  • I'm going to be counting them now next time I'm driving! Distraction by VW Transporter vans!

  • (     ...p.s. - take off a few exclamation marks from the title of the Thread, or else that is even more of a magnet for "MOD" censorship. Please leave at most Three. (e.g. - "!!!") I know this from experience.

    ...And...It took Me about 5 Minutes to hastily write and post this Reply to Myself. I am certain that at least 20% of ALL cars which passed by during my writing this... were (Black and White) Toyota Priuses. (!)     )

  • Greetings... (Oooh, No...It is ME...!) Yet Might this be the "CAR" Thread which I have often talked about starting, yet have never - dared - to do so...?

    Bagpuss7 ("That big fat furry cuddly CatPuss"7)... are You stalking all of us now, with constantly reprinting pictures of that VW Transporter...? The MODS might censor You, so beware, 'boooooo-auugh-whoooo' (& other spooky noises, etc.)...

    ...Seriously, though (!), for Me it is not that but rather SUVs, that stalk the Road upon which I "live". They Park. They have many people fussing over them, opening and closing doors and bonnets. And constantly coming in and out. But most sinisterly of all... an SUV will suddenly disgorge a HUGE amount of Manic Screaming Children...

    Yet to add more confusion to this Thread... I Myself am actually "Stalked" *neither* by VW Transporters nor by SUVs... for these always remain in one place and I can avoid them and that entire Road, though with some difficulty...

    *Ahem*...I have said before upon this Forum, that The TOYOTA PRIUS is a plague to Myself in particular... for They are everywhere, They follow Me, they park where I am, they stalk Me, and when stationary, if I walk past them they then start up, and wait to turn the same corners and slowley saunter down the same Road which I use!...

    ... & Also it is partly Electric, which makes them easier to sneak up upon Me...

    Eeeeeeeeevil!   Slight smile

    (This hot weather is making Me a bit bonkers upon here, I must admit.)

  • They do look nice... We were thinking about buying one, and hey presto we started seeing them everywhere too...

  • Yep thought as much, lol

  • Come on now everyone. Apply some ASD logic to the situation. If you start to look for a particular vehicle you will suddenly notice them whereas before you were not looking for them so did not notice them.

    As for VW Transporters, there is a good reason for spotting them. There are a lot of them and they are everywhere. We had the same scenario when buying a new car recently. Suddenly we see them everywhere and never noticed before how common they actually are.

    Don't panic or get paranoid, unless you spot the same one with the same registration following you regularly... 8)

  • Im sure that's the wagon they used in 'Homeland'...

  • Hi

    I think Im being stalked by Mercedes A class, ever since I said I liked them they are everywhere......

  • Ha ha I didn't notice this until I read this, but actually you're right! I went for a walk this evening and I saw four on my journey Slight smile .

    To be honest when I’m driving I don’t notice other vehicles, I’m too busy focusing on driving the car to notice such things. I’m a very careful driver and never lose concentration which is good. That’s why I went for my walk, so I could take some time out to see if there were lots around in my area. Which there were haha!

    By the way Bagpuss, unrelated, but growing up my dad used to watch Bagpuss with me. I loved it! Our favourite episode was The Mouse Mill Slight smile .
