I have seen a few R's now round my way and they do look smart but what i would say is when you see one in lapis blue then you know for certain its an R, when you see one in black, if its coming towards you then they can be difficult to spot. From behind obviously the quad pipes give it away.

The other problem is the quality of the paintwork. Lapis blue and black would be my first two choices but the paint swirls would frustrate the hell out of me

Spotted an R going down Derby Road in Burton tonight about 21:15, then straight after spotted a Grey GTD heading towards Perrelli roundabout at the same time...?

Ive sure i've seen you a few times, going towards Burton Football ground past the shell garage. Not seen an R or a grey in burton but there is a white gtd and i tell a lie ive seen a bird driving an R once but cant remember the colour.

Black Golf R coming out of Royston, Herts this morning (followed him for ages) and then down the A505 southbound.  Looked awesome from the back (those quads are superb) and the double DRL's look immense from the front.  Went to give him the thumbs up as I overtook him but he wasn't interested - boo 

Saw that one on Friday morning as I was coming into Royston. Sounds like our journeys cross. I'm in a 3-door CG GTD.

Also a red GTD near Sutton, Beds on Friday evening. Private plate and lots of waving.
