I'm tempted to just repost the quote myself just to annoy you, but because I'm nice and I like you, I won't.  :kiss: :laugh:

A belated thank you Miss Booth.  :smiley:

Since I rather like my new R, I thought I'd give it a bit of TLC

Charlie, good to have you back online.  :smiley:

The R is great, exceeded my expectations, is a thrilling drive and worth the stupid 8 month wait, which was forgotten after just a few miles.

After all your praise of the R, I've gone and done what 18 months ago I couldn't possibly imagine myself doing - I've gone and ordered a Golf R! Admittedly it is the R Estate, but I've gone for lapiz blue  :laugh:

Now begins the very long wait for it to be built. Inchape VW West London are quoting 20 weeks...
