You mean to say you didn't get a pic?! :p
-
i was walking across the bridge and in a flash it zoomed past me :cry:
-
Out of curiosity in what direction was it going? Heading into Newcastle or Gateshead?
Zoomed on the tyne bridge that must be nearly as rare as seeing a Golf R :grin:
-
going into newcastle haha, wudnt say zoomed but doing about 40 i just caught the front in a glance then had a nice stare at the rear
-
I will keep an eye out for it. Hopefully in March there will be a Blue GTI coming out of newcastle at about that time too :smiley: Feel free to wave like a nutter if you see me :grin:
That R maybe the demo(or whatever they want to call them, intro model etc) from Benfield Silverlink.
There are quite a few from the Newcastle area on here but most seem to be waiting for there GTI/GTDs to arrive.

fellows geordies in our midst! :laugh:
i've only ever seen one mrk6 gti and it was a black 5 door like mine.
btw- i have never walked on the tyne bridge in my life, only by car- which either means you dont drive so u aint a gti connoisuer.....or your gti broke down....
-
well you obviously have never heard of the age old method of transport called walking my friend which is a much more sensible option then driving my gti 1.5 mile into work and then paying £10 a day parking in the city centre, when its probably just as quick to work considering traffiv :nerd:

^ I had thought that the mk5 black 3 door 55 plate GTI i keep seeing at around 5ish coming under the flyover onto the bridge from the newcastle side may have been yours, i guess not.

nah mate- mines a spanking new mark 6- though it dont look it- so bloody dirty, never been washed lately- weather not helping :laugh:
anyways i only wonder north of the river aka gosforth.
on topic- the bumper of the r is huge- very aggressive lookin and way better than the gti's which i feel are very subtle- bit too subtle when you compare the focus rs, vauxhall "whatsitsname"....

How many people on here from the north east?
Also anyone know if theres a Golf R in any of the local showrooms yet?
-
I live near middlesbrough and have been into Lookers VW yesterday but no sign of any MK6 GTI's let alone the Golf R
-
I'm in Whitby, my dealer is Des Winks in Scarborough but as far as I know they don't have an R yet, though they do have about 6 GTI's on 09 and 59 plates.

I'm wondering if it's the one in the carenthusiast.com review: http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=141441.0 (http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=141441.0)
At the top of the review it says they drove from London to Newcastle.
:nerd:
