Title: My New R32
Post by: FASTEDDIE 1 on 01 May 2006, 17:34: Hi all
New to this forum !!

Always looked through the forum for advice & general knowledge, now i decided it was time to join in.

So i just sold my 1997 Golf GTI 8v (Dragon Green). Excellent car, had 7 years great driving out of it.Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â I always wanted the R32 just like most of us, & guess what - I just bought myself one & it takes my breath away everytime i jump into her. :grin:
I have to say you do get some looks when driving it around !
I'm in N.Ireland & found it very hard to pick one up in the dealers over here, so i took myself of to England & got my dream car.

Anyone got any good ideas about the spare wheel situation, or lack of it. Naturally i dont want to carry a full size wheel around in the boot. Has anyone ever used the tyre foam - if so does it do the job, or is it hopeless??
I have included a photo of my new car (Oct 03) Black, full black leather etc etc. What do you all think ????
Thanks
Eddie

I wish my insurance was as cheap as you boys over there on the Mainland!! :laugh:

Post by: FASTEDDIE 1 on 03 May 2006, 20:01: I payed Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£1025 full comp (i told u we get ripped off over here in N.Ireland). I am also 29. Full no claims driving since i was 18 etc etc!
Trust me it is well worth it.
Even for the sound of the pipes alone :grin:

I got a 3dr 4 motion in pearl black and she goes like stink so I can only imagine what your is like good work!

I shall keep mine for a year or 2 and then trade up to one me thinks, ive had 2 of each mark with the exception of MK1's and then I think it will be a MK5 GTI in Black cos they do look pretty sweet.
