Tbh i'm not a huge fan of having a TDI section, it's something that has been done since the mk4, i think due to the amount of R owners on here now the danger would be that the main section would be completely dead! :D

 :grin:

Thanks for your response Jimble, the only one from someone who has had an R.

I think you're right.  It was just a question, probably a stupid one at that, to gauge people's thoughts, and was more aimed at the technical questions that arise from R ownership as opposed to more general stuff.  Some very valid points have been made.

We will be one homogenous group  :smiley:

All the other R owners must be over on the R Forum...... :whistle: :grin:

...I haven't even got a 7 of any description.

Yes Simon, it's time you got rid of that three pedalled Mk6 dinosaur.... :tongue:  :grin:

I know, but having lost all aspirations towards owning nice cars, I really can't be arsed to even think about it. I still have an interest in cars and like to read about other what other people are up to, but that's as far as it goes.

There could well be a caravan deal for me next week, so that's more like it. Perhaps we could have a caravan sub-section instead.

Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Fair enough, and then there's burgeoning cycling interest  :smiley: You a regular on bike forums?

Just paint a red/silver stripe across the front and through the headlights and job done!  It qualifies for this forum! :grin:

No. I would imagine they are very much like cycling clubs.

Does Neil stock hobbrite and oven cleaner?

Funny you should say that, as the intended new one has red stripes.

Yes, interaction with actual real live people, perish the thought!

Probably.  Why don't you ask him  :laugh:

Haha, well that's that then - GTI caravan sub section required.  You should PM Jimble  :tongue:

Joking aside, every other car seems to have a red stripe somewhere or other at the moment.  It's flavour of the month.  I've seen 3 in the last 2 days. They are imposters - NOT the real thing  :whistle:  :laugh:

Surely there's room for R specific info on both forums?  I wasn't suggesting setting up a rival R forum.  Simply that there are a few more people on here with R's now or getting R's, so why not ask?

The R Forum is clearly a useful resource for any R owner, but I don't see why specific tech questions shouldn't also be raised here too.  As the info often crops up in random threads and sometimes gets lost, I find my self constantly bookmarking numerous threads containing technical R info and just wondered if there was a better way and wondered what others thought. That's all.

Thanks for your valuable input.

I am trying really hard to get you to join vwroc. It does rock! Both this and vwroc are great most of the time. :kiss:

Andy is already a member but does not post. Matt is a member and posts. It will be a veritable honour to have my matron of honour on both forums!  :grin:
