Sounds a bit heavy weight for tracking...

Why?, it is faster than the Clubsport S on the Ring ;)..

This is a pretty nice track tool and daily car  :grin:

I'm sure you'll have lots of fun no matter what is fitted to the car or how much it weighs.

But please don't forget to keep us updated with pics   :smiley:

Congrats Wide.
Can’t go wrong with white and black combo.

Sounds a nice car, some luxuries for daily use and some more performance orientated stuff for ‘business’ :afro:

Yes!, drive a lot of trackdays!. But 99% is just a going around town as a daily. So a hardcore like a Clubsport S is not a option for me :)
And the Car that is tested that did 4,4 in wet with wintertires. Was fully loaded with heavy leather seats e.g. Mine will be lighter that that one! ;)

Yes a lot of pic and movies will come, posting every day on my instagram some content with the cars.. :whistle:

I think there is still a little hesitancy over here. It's caused by these things

The bad vibes everyone seems to have about the mk8 (which I'd say are actually not based on reality, just Internet noise), the price (in the UK it attracts an unwelcome "luxury car tax" for five years), a global pandemic and up until yesterday a fear that ten percent import duty was about to be added on top.

I should think maybe later in 2021 some of the other things will be resolved too.

Yes you have a ruff time in England with Brexit and the pandemic  :sad:..

But i got a sick deal on my car, so it was much more Expensive than a GTI.. :whistle:

Although the configuration I would want on a Golf R MK8 would be a bit too expensive even for my palette, I am still seriously tempted, and supect I might end up getting one later in to next year (2021) once I know more about whether the Edition 45 is too good to miss out on or not, what is going on with the Pandemic and how things go after brexit has been around for a while.  Our prime minister seems to be focussed on bumbling around and completely wrecking all that was OK or good about the UK.
