Warmer!

It'll be about 1900 by the time I've finished ploughing fields today.

1900 - It's barely out of it's wrappers!

But, how lovely to see a pic of your gorgeous R.  Nice wheels  :cool:  Nearly as nice as Prets. :laugh:

Thanks, but nowhere near as pretty as Prets!
Winter boots on in a 'low maintenance' colour.

A couple more pics taken on a filthy November Sunday morning in the wind and rain. Kind of sets the mood for winter wheels...

Love them wheels mate, what are they?

PS 1900 miles, that's crazy for the time you've owned it,  there's currently 460mies on mine........with 10 days of ownership :grin: obviously I'm still in my honeymoon period so just driving for the sake of driving ATM lol :wink:

Very nice buddy. You can see the effect the wheel spacers make. Subtle but sweet. However I'm one of those odd-bods who only likes factory fit wheels. Yours are close to Prets though. And as you say, in a dirt friendly colour  :wink:

Could you explain how the peddle box works? How it changes the character of the car? I'm intrigued. Thx

Shameful I know! I'll start using the car a bit more now but for a month or two all I've done is rattle back and forth to work which is only a few miles away.

The wheels are 'VW Motorsport' wheels for a Scirocco (better offset).
Crewe Audi were knocking them out back along on eBay. I'd seen a few German Golf R track cars running ATS GTR wheels that are pretty much identical and thought they looked better on a Golf than they do on a Scirocco!
