The TCR decals remind me of the blockbusters board game I had as a kid. Just saying...

Can I have a ‘P’ please Bob?   :grin:

To go with your 'R'?

All I need is an A and a C and that sums up what my R currently looks like.  :grin:

Just got replies from Volkswizard and Joe Achilles about the TCR. Apparently UK journos went to Portugal on invitation from VW UK so why would the car not be available here.

Joe added that the car should be available next week/month. He said it’s 100% coming to the UK.

Think Mat Watson sums it up pretty well (as other reviews also indicate) - if you're planning on lots of visits to the track then the TCR is the car for you. If not, get an R. Or my view is a GTI Performance will probably be as good for 95% of the time.  I certainly wouldn't want a GTI that was any less comfortable than mine.

Will be very interesting to see how sales go.. or don't go. Could well be a massive flop with the Mk8 on the horizon.
