Congrats on your imminent retirement Watts!
Keep the TCR as there’s literally nothing significantly better out there at almost any price.
Spend your millions on some pottery instead.

What could you replace the TCR with Watts?
I am in a similar position and keep the CS as the sensible car. It's a good excuse to buy that historic classic (no tax, mot or ulez) to run alongside your reliable Golf.
When your London travel pass arrives, that should cut down on local miles put on the Golf too.

Cheers! I never spend money on pottery :whistle:

Ideally I'd keep the TCR and get a toy too but circumstances don't currently support that. No millions here though, only a low grade (un)civil servant...

I'd like a small cheeky convertible but as above, I can't keep both and a small cheeky convertible won't fit a lot of my driving needs. It will be a fair few years before I qualify for free travel but I hate going on buses, you have to sit next to people like me :laugh:

Or as James May came to the conclusion in 'Cars of the People' - the VW Golf was the "perfect people's car" - and all the car you could ever need.

Even Ben Collins (the Stig) said that out of all of the GTI's he would have either a Mk5 or a Mk7.

Fitted my new TCR front splitter to compliment the side skirts and rear diffuser I’d previously fitted

that looks great, always think gloss black on white is the best option.

TCR splitter looks great. Genuine or pattern part?
