Popped by the dealers today and got told that my car has been built and should be shipped by the end of this week! So far things look as planned so withing 6 to 8 weeks i should have my little red rocket with me :grin:
-

For some reason i knew you were gonna be the first to reply and i really hope i can keep this atleast till i get back from Uni (3/4 Years)....i think after that il move onto a nice saloon :smiley:

Ermm.... :rolleyes:
Nah im joking lol...hopefully if everything works out in Uni i can get a good enough job to support myself..ifnot il end up working with daddy and then just wait and see what happens :smiley:

Dont worry. Im torn between wether I should ask my dad for a car....
I dont think he will get me one. So will prob get a ancient delivery vehicle. But hey.
At least its something :smiley:

Mate, if you dont ask you dont get. I get stressed off with people whos parents buy them cars (dont even get me started on Manu_GTI, MK5 GTi & MK5 R32 !!!) but thats only because im jealouse that I wasnt bought one. If my parents offered id be lapping it up. Push your luck and get what you can I say.
Good news btw, bet you cant wait for that noise :D

People should be embarrassed to accept expensive cars from their parents! Ok, a sh!tty little Corsa or something when you are 17 is fine, but anything else is ridiculous!
-
I'd be embarrassed, but id soon get over it with with my MK5 GTi lol !

I would reject that kind of expensive gift from my parents, as I've always done and do and will do.
But that also would depend on how wealthy the parents are. Mine are not.
If MANU's dad is loaded, I see no reason not to accept a car from the daddy-o. At least he is honest about the fact.
And yes, I am jealous, too, because I did not get a chance to have my own car back then when I was young and restless. :cry:
I mean, Porsche is great to have any time, but much better to have it when you are young and nice ladies do not consider you an old fart with a classy vehicle. :lipsrsealed:

I am jeleous of Manu. But he is lucky to have a father who seems to be very similar to mine. (Wealth and personality from what I have read)
I will be honest. But I come from the type of school where everyone drives Bmw's and Gti's and Merc and the standard car is no older than a few years.
So I can honestly say it does not bother me. The two cars that I might get is a Ford Fiesta ST (Company vehicle but my dad wants to replace it so I might get it) or a Ford Bantam.
I highly doubt I will ever drive our GTi or use the Mitsubishi Pajero. As its my dads pride and joy.
I will ask him. But my family is a major motorbike fan (my dad has 5 bikes and my brothers also have 2 bikes) so chances are he will say get a bike. Which I will be very ungrateful and say no to.
But I think I will get a job. Get a company car. It wont be mine but it will be something. Until I can afford my own car.

bikes are dangerous
my mother tells me that if I buy a bike she will hang herself. :lipsrsealed:
So no bike for me. I think Gemballa Porsche 850 is a good enough substitute. :tongue:

Or just a small car for me :grin:

Guys...i dont want people to hate me cause im 19 and im getting a R32...at the moment i find this forum very very friendly which i like...cliosport.net was full of tossers and chavs who thought they were unique when they all had the same arctic blue 182 with stripes down the middle and turinis....Micsta...of what i can tell you about my father is yes...he has a great personality and he is respected quite well all over Gib as he is not one of these rich snobs who are only attached to their money....i really hope this forum doesnt end up hating me cause i sound very spoilt but i DO have alot of respect for people who need to work...especially those who work and end up achieving something...aswell...im not sure what background other families are from but my father didnt have the chance to have all these luxuries when he was younger so i think he wants to make sure I do...once again...thanks every one :smiley:

Iv got some carbon parts such as the front splitter and rear diffuser on its way from OSIR...apart from that nothing really...i am seriously thinking about tinting all five windows as i dont want people to see whos driving...other things such as Haldex II possible Milltek.

Get us some pics asap when it arrives. Agree that it's nice to get a nice car (and safe) when you younger, although it might mean that only higher performance cars will satisfy you in the future. :smiley:

For some reason i see that a good thing...RS4 Avant...RS6 Avant...some seriously nice cars there pushing out some serious BHP and oh yeah...BMW M5 :cool:
-
Make sure you post some pics when she arrives - not many Red MKV R32s about!
-
Yes...this is one forum i wont forget to post pics of my new car...ofcourse when i get it :)
-
Just to keep you guys posted...VW Called and said the car has indeed left Germany and is on its way to Gibraltar. Only problem is it will get here via the canary islands so it will be shipped to canary islands then shipped down to cadiz (Spain) and then from Cadiz it will be brought to Gib on the back of the trailer...give me 2-3 weeks :evil: Soooo excited! :smiley:
-
Just rememer to be careful in it........Thinking back to 19 I don't know how I survived!
-
Ofcourse ofcourse...there is no rush to get from A to B, aswell i cant really afford to have any accidents...it will result in not getting insurance again on a car like that :(
-
When you first push the R.. there is a split second which I call sh1t your pants time, where you feel the power being adjusted.. so just be careful until u get to know how it reacts :wink:

16 hours 33 minutes for me.. not that i'm counting :rolleyes:

Sounds like a plan but where we have the parking for the R is about a minute from the VW Dealership...you pull out and take your first right lol....was looking at the sticky thread of the checks some people do when collecting their R...am thinking of printing this and taking it with me :smiley:
