My Golf R 7.5 has landed
« on: 15 May 2017, 19:10 »
And is ready for take off, took driver back to station and had a little blast around the Cotswolds. What! This is super car territory. More to come but did drive a  used 7 R with a seller so can't really compare, but compared to wife's 7 GTI another planet, superb ride not used comfort yet, engine noise I guess amazing for many but will need to adjust I think. Grip off rough surface new to me, no scrabble. Btw love the smart dash, clear bright and so much info. Anyone else with one please respond. Will no doubt find faults but who cares with this amazing package
Arrived 15/5/17 Mk 7.5 R Lapiz 5dr DSG, Prets, Pan Roof, DCC, Rear View Cam.
Our other car is a Mk7 GTI DSG 5dr Tungsten, Vienna, Rear View Cam, Park assist.

Haven't made my mind up yet? :wink: The thing's daft, to hell with a pedal box that inch of slack is what keeps you out of the bushes! Anyway Mk7 to Mk7.5 have you noticed a difference or improvement. Don't know what you had or experienced before. Would like to drive a 7 R back to back. Might chat up a dealer.

Ordered around £200 of detail gear!!!! :shocked: Not that I'll use it. Lady Rebecca's VWROC Carnauba Wax in Lapiz Blue naturally. Hopefully good for 6 months as car doesn't get town city pollution and not high mileage.

Interesting thoughts on the pedal slack as on a mapped car I hated it but do not mind on standard

Good effort on the cleaning products

Some pictures would be nice

What was it you said?

Ok,so I'm not about to become a slave to detailing.....

 :grin:  You should have said you were going for the OD VWROC Lapiz wax, could have got you a discount.  :wink:

Glad to hear you are enjoying your new R.  Wonder if you'll feel the same about the pedal lag in a few months time?

And yet you were seduced.

No, not on the payroll, OD or forum.

Seduced,more like conned! Let you know results, when I get round to booking a few days to prioritise.
Do detailers go out cruising showing off their shine, just a thought.
