I never notice the R as too understated  :whistle: :grin:
I did give the thumbs up to a stunning T5 at the weekend ...  :undecided:

Haven't quite got my GTi yet but will happily acknowledge fellow performance Golf drivers (even though I was an Audi driver!). Having said that, there seems to be very few round my way, saw a grey R being washed at Tesco recently and one GTi and the occasional GTD and that's it!

Some (many, very many) years back when I had a Lotus Excel, I used to exchange pleasentries with an XJS driver and I do kind of like the camaraderie. Wasn't so keen when I was driving my OH's 1972 Beetle as I didn't really like driving it...

I think other forums put you off fratinising with fellow owners

Had plenty of random people in other marques want to chat about the R

Its won over a few where i sprint it as there are requests for a passenger ride

R ownership is a bit like Scirocco ownership in terms of great at first and then with the hundrum it attracted a broader ownership over and above those who liked the heritage

R brand should have always been GTI-R for em, i get where people come from on this totally as there is about 10 years in R form

Finally today I got a flash from a fellow white R driver!
I see the car parked up all the time but it's the first time I've seen it on the move and hey presto! :afro:

Dropping my son to five a side practice the other Sunday I had not one but two mk5 Golfs do some ridiculous overtakes in 30 limits.
One on the way there and one on the way back.  :rolleyes:
Maybe they were trying to impress me?
