The R forum is currently disabled with the following message "If I don't see you no more in this world. I'll meet you on the next one. But don't be late! 18:00 14/12/2014 :: See you soon". Have the North Koreans taken exception to some of the posts there? :undecided:

They are updating the website to a whole new look apparently. Will be back up on Sunday but under a different name. Something like www.vwroc.co.uk I think :smiley:

They are re-launching that Dicktatorship where any dissent will result in a firing squad.

Maybe they're adding a "hate" button for posts. :whistle:

That will be too tame for them. Anyway, one learns nothing from that place. Only the tuning section is of some interest.

Hope we don't lose everyone to the R forum...we need your expertise here!

Fortunately this Mk7 forum exists. It is a much nicer place and a very good source of information.

R Forum is moving to a new software platform which will be with you 18:00 14/12/2014 :: See you soon! If I don't see you no more in this world. I'll meet you on the next one. But don't be late!
BTW, even the grammar and punctuation are wrong! Such innate quality!!!

I have to say i stopped posting on there a few months back due to certain members , completely forgot about here so will give this place a go again.

It is a bit of a strange and sick place for which there seems no known cure. The virus mainly permeates from the top right down to some of the members who are so arrogant, ignorant and blinkered that for them there is no other worthwhile car but the Golf 7R.
But we can but hope that with the new owners things might improve.

Kim Jong-Un has forgiven them but seems to have stripped them of all colour. So, the R Forum is back but with a very depressingly odd and naked look.

Maybe they're experimenting with soothing graphics to stop all the radginess?

I agree it is crazy money for a shopping trolley. But would you rather buy an Aldi Hearse instead?

No but I have been trying to talk myself out of keeping the mk6, selling everything else, and buying this

The Cayman GTS is a fabulous car. Nearly did the same but saw sense due to impracticality and got the R instead.

Thats why i would keep the mk6. Its only done 12k and been a fine weather car so still like new!. 85% of the week i am in the car by myself so a car like a cayman would be fine for me. The rest of the time the practicality of the mk6 would be used, or in winter it would be used. Rather risk a 12k car in winter than a 40k car. So even if I got a mk7 R I would have something for winter use.
Anyway its like old times, off topic again....
There are some nice photos over there of mk7 Rs, looks good in red, black and blue.
Seems quite a few teenage owners.

Snoopy: I think a fair few of those teenagers are leasers on the ridiculously cheap deals. There are a few there swapping ancient Corsas and Clios for a Golf R. I have to wonder how long it'll be before a fair few of them end up in a ditch or stuck out of a tree. They'll be in for a treat while it lasts.
Their next car after the 24 month R lease will end up costing them twice as much on a monthly basis if that cheap lease deal was a one-off with the Germans tempting us car-loving Brits to get into cheaper Rs in the short term and help out their stalling economy.
A nearly new Cayman was also a real possibility for me, but as a current one car household, I talked myself into the practical option (and almost new Caymans weren't nearly as cheap as I thought they might be, was expecting 75-80% of RRP for a year old one).

Geoff (Snoopy) and Monkeyhanger:
I leased a 5 Door DSG R on a 3 year Business Lease. Got a brilliant deal from my Local VW Dealer, added nearly £3k of options and it costs me just £3.95k inc VAT per year (Total £11.85k inc VAT). Just could not resist such a deal. So not all leasers are young p!ssers who cannot p!ss straight! Hope I am forgiven for being a leaser.

Of course you are forgiven, this is not that kind of forum. :rolleyes: But there will be plenty of 18-20 year olds jumping on a cheap lease that've never had more than 100ps at their disposal jumping into an R.
If the numbers made massive sense to me and I didn't have the GTD to get rid of, i'd have leased too. As mine will be bought outright, i'm not copping for tons of interest, which helps even things up. I'd never discount the lease option by some form of snobbery. I always consider the 2/3 year cost of ownership by all means available.
I might even go for the 5 year extended warranty and keep it 4 years then sell privately with a year's warranty remaining. I really can't see anything better out there in this price bracket - i'd have to spend an extra £10k to do better, and the MK8 will be out by then (maybe even a MK4 Scirocco).

Lets see how long insurance stays low for the R if it starts costing insurance company's.

Someone's Huffed Kim Jong-Un?
This is why i like it here, the art of wit remains in tact

Just been having a look there. Now it is called the VW R owners club, or VW ROC, which makes it sound like a Scirocco forum. They also have a warning points system onboard, I have no warning points.

Zero points for me so far (not visible to other posters), though I was warned for writing a short response on the Dynaudio thread. My response to a question was short (3 words) as I was on my iPhone but it was in no way rude.
-
Interesting thread and one that surprises me.
I've been a member of VWROC for years and apart from the odd fool its a decent place.
All forums have idiots, I'm sure you've your fair share, but if you think its a bit rough then you've never been on Piston Heads......

It is a lot better now than it was pre-change, I quite enjoy going there now. One of the old mods who is no longer there was part of a group of 6 or 7 members that seemed to be out to bash all newcomers, allowing them to do so and actively participating in it himself. Some of the persecution and derision of leasers that still happens is more than a little questionable though.

Yeah the mod is question was, in retrospect, a wrong choice and 'left' the forum......
As for the other baiting, yes there is a member being goaded aka custard test etc, however the tables are turning and most members think he's a good bloke for not rising to it!! :grin:

Yes, i've done a bit of light hearted baiting of the member you are talking about, but let him know it is in jest because he keeps making it so easy.

I used to love it on here, but I left because I got an R and I was getting more model specific advice on the old R Forum.
I personally love what they've done with the rebrand and refresh on VWROC.com And since that really awful Moderator left, its been back on an even keel. To be fair he was only around for about 6 months from start to finish and managed to post about 4000 posts of utter trash. He's left now and all his posts were deleted!! Good :grin:
So in conclusion this place and VWROC are definitely my favourite places to be! :cool:

His name sounds a bit like Kim Jong Un.....But starting with a D and all one word. Say his name 3 times in front of a mirror and his spirit will come back to kill you with the VW tyre changing kit.
