Title: So i was driving past my local dealers
Post by: Top Cat on 12 January 2010, 13:27
So i was driving past my local dealers and there was a transporter there trying to park. I had a quick look at its load and spotted 2 shiny new R's  :kiss:

So i slammed on the anchors and did a quick right turn clyde.  :tongue:

One was Rising blue the other silver. Being the saddo that i am i parked up and watched them being unloaded then followed them round the back  :grin:

The rising blue is very similar to the DBP of the Mk 5 R or at least it was in the dull light, it was parked 20 yards from a DBP R and honestly there was not much in it. The new R perhaps being a few shades darker.  :nerd:

My surprise came with the silver one. I am not a fan of silver cars, never have been, its just my preference i am not hating on them.  :wink:

But the silver one was gorgeous  :kiss: especially the back end, there are a lot more slabs of colour and bodywork compared to a Mk5 and it suited silver in my opinion.
The wheels on both were the 18" variety and they looked quite small to my eye, i believe 19" would fill the arches better. :drool:
Overall though both looked the shizzle.  :cool: You guys who are willing to pay for them wont be disappointed me thinks.   :drool: :drool: :drool:

Nice one, TC.

Now, can you please go back to your dealer, only this time take a camera. You know what to do next.

No doubt that the R is excellent in my mind. It is strange that so many are coming in unordered with any old spec. I wonder what this means?

Could you PM me with the dealer's name, so I can take a look myself if it's nearby.

Its not near by if you live in London pal, it was Warrington's dealership.  :cry:
And i would go back with a camera but i think i would be arrested, they already thought i was a wierdo looking round the car in the private area at the back  :grin: i never introduced myself just followed the cars in.  :laugh:

Trainspotter-esque, but well done TC, it'll bring relief to many that this is now shipping.

If it's got leather, I'll take it off your hands for £30k. I'd be doing you a favour as VW are obviously struggling to sell them.

Perfectly normal behaviour, if you ask me!  :grin: :grin: :grin: :tongue:

Warrington!? Oh, well, I guess I'll have to wait until they arrive in London.

Go for it - if only to make me extremely jealous! :grin:

EDIT: Thinking about it, I've appeased myself by knowing I'll get the exact spec I want and it'll be a 10 reg.

I agree!  Even if mine did turn up tomorrow I'd be waiting until March to register it.  Its just a shame its not likely to turn up until April.  At least I get exactly the spec I want though.
