Wow, no hanging around! I'd love a MK5 R32, don't think I'd love taxing it each year though :grin:

Looks like a good un that :afro:

Tax isn't too bad  :smiley: mines before 06 meaning that the tax for a year is £275ish  :cool: after 06 its £475 :evil:

Thank you  :cool:

Well tasty.
I Can't get enough of the sound  :laugh:

Nice r32!

Thanks man, just wish i had more money to allow  for mods!! :whistle:

Funny looking blue, 3 door example...  :laugh: :grin:

Tehehe, i agree, it's a rare shade of blue, they had a mishap and went for black instead  :whistle: and the 3 door split making it 5  :grin:

Just something about black  :drool:

Very nice, looking forward to seeing what you're gonna do to it?

Well putting my carlines and air is next on my list, not sure if it will be this year or not, depends on money  :embarrassed:  :nerd:


Just a quick video for you guys  :tongue:

Next was cleaning up The R32, still have a lot of work to do.. the car came with an expensive option of paint protection to stone chips etc (a hard type of sticker) all over the front end of the car, leaving nothing on unprotected, even has it down the door sides.
