Golf R coming soon
« on: 16 February 2023, 07:36 »
Hi all from West Wales.
I've very excited to be getting back into a golf after a long break. I previously owned a Mk11 16v 3 door which was one of the best cars I've ever had. I had it back in 1991, so you will know I'm no spring chicken! J226TPJ if anyone knows where it is now?
I'm also into my Audi's and have a couple of interesting classics including an ultra rare Nothelle S2.
Anyway, you guys seem an interesting bunch and I'm bound to need advice.  :cool:

Welcome aboard Tractor Dave  :smiley:

It looks like you’ve had some interesting cars in the time since you last had a Golf GTI.  :cool:

Do you have a build date for your R yet?

Well, picked up my Golf from Swindon VW today and thoroughly enjoyed the drive back to Wales. Very impressed with the car and the service I received from the guys at Swindon.  :cool:

Congrats Tractor Dave.
Living in Wales you’ll at least have some great roads to drive the new steed on.

It would be nice if you could post up a few photos, we don’t see many 8R’s on here which is a shame.

Thanks. Will do. Does this forum have a tapatalk link? I find that the easy way to upload pics.

No, but it’s dead easy.
Hit reply, just below the text box in blue is “add image to post” hyperlink which takes you straight through to an image uploader. Only takes a few seconds :afro:

Let’s see a few more of your collection too!  :smiley:
