Anyone on here from the original Rforum?

Circa 2010 with introduction of Mk 6 R. I was #100 to register hence my handle.
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.

I used to browse / lurk on it back then but only registered and posted about 2.5 years ago when I caved and ordered a MK7 R. I think around the time it changed from r-forum to vwroc.
MK8.5 GTI Clubsport. Moonstone grey. Queenstown 19’s. DCC. Harmon Kardon sound. Pano roof.

Lurked for quite a while when it was the Rforum but only joined in July 2015 after ordering my R, and after the ownership had changed and it became VWROC.

And you rapidly became a legend. :cool:  For the sake of that Forum, I hope you have an R for life. :grin:

Lol.

No, I'm chopping it in for an AMG next week. Joking of course.  :laugh:

Hmmm, an R for life.....wonder if I can persuade the VWROC powers that be to pay for that. :grin:

I remember some guys from Yorkshire, one who I think created the site, and Scotland (tbh the best place for an R) also Belfast??? who drove thousands of miles weekly and gave great feedback on fuel consumption! etc. That we all care so much about, not! Me I'm more concerned about my wine consumption right now. Well, I'm told I should be.
