Visit to Colchester VW to collect the R32

[illyun]

Congrats on the new R32 purchase, sounds like you really did spank them for a change! You now have my perfect garage collection, can you get some pics up of them all.

I'll get a group photo on here when the R32 arrives

I tried this move on with my wife after only 8mnths of GTI ownership...it went a little like this...

"Get ******you *******,your always wanting to ******* change the car.What about my ********kitchen you promised.You dare go to *******Hayseldens and I,ll *******divorce you"...

Nice one Illy on your purchase,obviously did,nt marry a Rotherham lass then.

No, but my wife's got Afghan blood in her veins and she can be brutal at times... 

The trick device I used was that the car will be in her name and pointed out that her Lupo GTI was worth a lot less.  Also told her that the money would be spent/wasted somehow if left in the account gave the example of how £5k  recently went up in smoke through mortgage payments, direct debits and the like    She thinks I only spent £2k on the Ed30 mods...    All I know is I cannot spend any money now for at least 12 months cause I've blown the year's savings on cars in 3 weeks      Any purchase over £30 will require serious justification.    Plus the R32 loves its petrol

Right, initial impressions - considering I have driven it like an 80 year old OAP back home - is that it feels less hardcore, softer and manic than my Edition 30.  Its weird because I remember when I changed my 06 plate GTI for a new 56 plate R32 and I remember it being a harsher ride and more urgent.  Of course, to be fair, I have spent in excess of £5k modding the Edition 30 and its running at 321.4bhp... just shows how quickly you get used to power increases as the Edition 30 feels like a standard one to me now!  But the R32 is our family car and for that its excellent - my wife loved the ride and thought it was very soft and compliant . Well it would be compared to the Bilsteins I have on the Edition 30!  I'm sure it'll reveal its true character once its run in though.  I'm very happy with it as its exactly what I wanted, something that is a family car but still sporty with bags of character- the R32 - and a hard core tuned track car - the Ed30.
