Welcome back Gt11DOD, you’ve seen the light.
No harm in exploring pastures new once in a while with cars. You live and learn. For many of us a Golf is “home” but there’s nowt wrong with an occasional holiday!
Golf R’s are fantastic by the way. I had one for 18 months and thought it was great. I’m a GTI guy at heart but would certainly have another R. Everyone should own an R at some point in their lives.
Owning a Mercedes Cab is however a crime, unless you’re a 60 something female with a fat income, but that’s a whole different story…
