Golf mk8 / Re: Monkeyhanger's RS3
« Last post by monkeyhanger on Today at 06:52 »It is by far the best car I've ever owned (second place goes to my 2015 Golf R.
"Poverty spec" is pretty well specced as standard, The "Carbon" variant adds about 12 pieces of carbon trim around the bodywork (that would otherwise be black gloss - I prefer the black gloss) and some overly fussy wheels that hide the massive front discs, and will set you back an extra £4k RRP. £4k for a Halfords makeover? No thanks.
Brand new in stock standard spec RS3s with metallic paint can be had for about £54k if you shop around on Auto trader within new cars.

I took the car to Weymouth for 2 days and left it in a sea front car park and it is absolutely covered in seagull poop now. Not amused.
Will need to give it a good wash now.

@ Watts, Joe, BillSan I was 80/20 on getting a Clubsport next.
Probably 60 Ed50, 20 Clubby, 20 Blk Edn R before the Ed50 details were released. With a distinct possibility I’d nab an interesting spec 265 GTI if one came up on a short wait at a good price.
I was born near the Tamar and grew up mostly by the Exe with brief patches near the Wye, the Aller is relatively close by though BillSan, wrong county though
@Paul70: love RS3’s but not leather seats. Too chilly on my bum at 5am in winter! Same goes to @monkeyhanger (plus I’m too poor/stingy to buy one)
@Snoopy:
maybe next time!!
@SR: I love the idea of an Electric JCW or A290 but… maybe next time round (or mobility scooter!) 😁
@Beebopper: saw an ID.3 GTX (well a brace of them actually) in my local dealers up for decent money but can’t bring myself to do it yet.
There’s a Born VZ parked on the driveway of a house I nearly bought about 10 years ago funnily enough. I see it most days. Both car and house look pretty good to me!
@CarbonGTD: it came very close to being a Clubby again!
Although the R was on PCP I fully owned the Clubsport so put in the max allowable deposit on the R from the proceeds and had money back, thus had lots of equity in the R and put some of the change from the Clubby into this latest car. Probably a dreadful investment but cars are anyway so I’ll just shrug that one off!
