VW dealers will have to build multi storey car park style sales areas in two years when they have three million ex-lease red R's to dispose of!!!

On topic, one mean looking black GTD, one red GTI that was nearly as dirty as mine and three white GTD's spotted near J29 M5 this afternoon/evening. No R's about today!

You know what I've not seen a single one of which is pretty surprising given the price, a cupra. Probably seen more R's now than GTIs, quite a few gtds and shed loads of FRs since they pathetically watered down its meaning to sell more numbers.

But, not a single Leon Cupra at all.

I don't think they're coming through very quickly, it seems the supply is as bad as the GTI was last year. Looking on SCN there are plenty ordered by few actually delivered yet…


Mind you, if you can get an R for buttons the poor upstaged Cupra just ain't going to make the big time!

Well they can take as long as like, being done by a cupra will probably push me to stage 3 lol so let them take their time!

White R on Durham Road near the Angel of the North Gateshead at 4.10pm today. I was travelling in the opposite direction.

BTW I travelled over 300 miles today skirting the M1, M62 and A1. I only saw 1 R, 1 GTI and 3 GTDs but 4 Leon Rs. All of this talk on these threads about Rs flooding the market is daft.

I've never seen another R on the roads yet that wasn't one of Benfield's - not even yours 4 miles away from me.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

After seeing only a few R's since they've been out, pulled into a Shell petrol station on the A505 today and there were 2 sitting there!  One in DBP (was filthy!) and one in Reflex Silver - silver looked great with the Prets on it.  Lease cars coming through?!  :laugh:
