You would seriously prioritise a tow bar over this?

For someone who was a bit scared of a pedalbox in case they crashed into a tree I'd continue resting on cases if I were you  :laugh: :whistle:

How would a pedal box make you crash into a tree?
Ask CHB100

Have one on order, out of stock. :wink:

Also any of you guys and gals seen the state of that R that crashed into house on the Old Cromwell Road, Kensington. Google it, I only initially recognised the Pret wheel.I wonder if he had a pedal box?

The trees in the Cotswolds better watch out.

Yes seen it.  That's what you get for driving like a t**t. 

Be careful with that pedalbox. :whistle:

No doubt VW will re-design the MK8 R to accommodate said tow bar, due to public demand :wink:

I care as much about having a tow bar as I do about staring at dials going round and 0-60 times :wink:

Wait isn't the 0-60 time why you choose to buy a car in the first place?  :shocked:

You CAN order a UK Golf R with Tow hitch.....£685 on the VW UK configurator....





Estate...which happens to better handling (IMOH) than the hatch & carries more luggage....
