Good Good, im sure you are mega excited! Cant wait to hear what you think about the car, especially after coming from a GTI. Can I just add, as your R is brand new you will not believe the difference in her once it is loosened up. Mine now has 20k miles on it and she is so much quicker. I know a VW dealer and he let me drive one a few weeks ago with 2k miles on it, just so I could do a good comparision. It honestly felt mine had an extra 30bhp. My point is, dont expect the rush of power you get from a turbo, just watch the speedo lol and allow the engine time to bed in.

Oh, and I drove mine to the limit from the day I got it and I believe it is now quicker for doing so.

I agree!! Its the only way to get the best from it. Once its warm... blast it!!

Bloody hell... I nearly bought a GTI from Tollbar Warwick too (they seem to get a lot of GTI's and R32s in - they should be a VW dealer!).  Apparently they had just taken over the Ferrari Maranello dealerships and the sales guys theres had full spec GTI's.  I was after a black one with a load of options - this one also had satnav too plus leather, lux, winter blah blah. The car was still at Maranello so I had no way of viewing it (but Tollbar still advertised it!) - booked the morning off work to go look at it once it was confirmed as in (115 miles from here) and I had a call saying it was sold over the phone the night before - good job I rang up to check else I would have been a bit pi$$ed if drove all that way for nothing. They did have another one but it was 5 door

I nipped in and bought the R' the day before someone was driving over from Wales to view it

To really rub salt in the wound he was only coming to see that one because they sold the 3 door silver one that he wanted the day before i got there

It's not just vw's though, my new toy was parked between a lotus exige and a 997 911 turbo, with a db9 behind it for good measure! Some top-end stuff down there.
