The more time I spend with the car the more I am enjoying it very practical and comfortable but also very capable looking forward to giving it a good blast over the weekend to really see what it can do, 500 miles on the clock now taking it easy (most of the time) and moving through the rev range regularly.

The cabin is a great place to be I have a 700 mile round trip next weekend which I am looking forward to.

Get some pics posted... This thread needs more pictures!

Nice selection of Pure Grey TCR there and amazingly treated, even in photos you can see the quality of the detail - Have always liked having the signature R Lapiz and think going to similarly enjoy being able to nod to any Pure Grey Golf see coming in other direction knowing its a TCR - The set of photos in the showroom had the best light and they really show the TCR off at its best - As much as love my R October felt a long way away as looked through the photos!

Very pleased with it, am up to about 80 miles now. Will get chance to take it out in the morning but then got a mates 40th bbq and on Sunday am at really retro show with the Mk2. Then work and and away for a few days, going to have to wait to get some miles on it.

Quality of mVS detail is great, I’ve never used a detailer before though. Can’t fault the service of Joe at TL Darby or Ian the detailer. It’s only the 2nd time I’ve bought a new car, 1st being the Up Gti last year from inchcape Cheltenham. There was nothing bad about their service as such, delay was VW but had to keep chasing for any updates, whereas Joe has always been first with the contact and is a VW fan too.

Paid a quick visit to Caffeine and Machine, wonder if I was the first TCR? No prize 🤣

Think your previous corrado would have got some attention 😊

Having said that the Sat I was there mine was on R there and despite the many numbers on the roads there was surprisingly quite a bit of interest from those who had pulled up in some classic pride and joys and mainly as they were interested in R as a daily to keep their classic safely tucked away in week

I had good morning there as brekkie stop off on way for day in Stratford some good cars turned up, pleasant folk to chat to and staff + food was decent

Look forward to some more updates on how getting on though compared to other two who have theirs yours is quite a leap from the UP no matter it’s virtues

Sorry, I was making a bad joke, pretending that I thought your question "Is is as good as they say?" was referring to the Up! GTI.
