No probs Gilly, my mate works for the customer so vw dont see the money,  Darren

I presume that means the silver R is already sold then  :cry:  No test drive for anyone in Leeds then Gilly  :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I'm at JCT in Wakefield on Friday morning ... will enquire with them.

Good stuff!

Was over at VW Huddersfield yesterday and not a Golf R in sight. In fact I only managed to spot one R32. However the showroom was missing a couple of cars so I suspect they could be awaiting some new stock :evil:

I wonder if anyone has had the chance to compare how the 18 in wheels drive compare with the 19 in in terms of ride/noise/handling .
Also on the photos the appearance does not look hugely different between the 18 vs 19 i wonder how they are in the flesh
I also note that the recurring theme of the car being overpriced relative to the gti I find misleading when you factor in std options 18 in wheels xenon then pay for the body kit rear leds awd and 40 kw !
still many months away down under so i have to satisfy myself reading about first hand experence overseas

Anyone know if there are any in central/southern Scotland???

Not off again until Thursday and might go and have a look if there are?

I think Evo said there was one on its way to Verve Glasgow if that is any help.

The Dalmarnock Road one?

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?
