In short, I won't be cancelling my order.

^^^^ Good lad. Look forward to seeing the photos/reviews on Monday  :smiley:

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

Test drive is tomorrow. Will take my camera. :cool:

Take a note pad too... I'll be looking for a review  :wink:

Me dealer told me their sister garage had a demonstrator, and that they'd be getting it for a while... so I'm just waiting to find out when!

I've got some photos. Will be post them and short reivew tonight.

In short, I won't be cancelling my order. :cool:

PCP finance figures were very disappointing and my build week is now unconfirmed BW13. :sad:

What colour was it?, I´m still thinking about changing mine (blue).. don´t know what to do.. should I get it in Black?, Blue?,White?

I think the black makes it just look like every other golf out there sadly. Whites far too common on the GTIs and i expect it will be the case with the R. At least in Rising blue its unique colour to the R. But the other blues will be much rarer. Colours a personal thing only you can pick.

Funny you should mention that. I'm having a bit of a wobble on the black wheels at the moment. :shocked:

Here in spain there are just four colors: red, blue, black, white. Also we can't get the Tagadella in black, we can just Get them in silver. There aré no R's here in Spain, thats why I need some help
