Thanks Watts
Mine’s always the one parked a quarter of a mile from the riff raff, in an end spot. People think it’s because I’m averse to door dingers but it’s really because I can never remember what car I actually own on any given week.
And thanks Joe
Yep, it’s black (the last colour I’d ever pick)
With a sunroof (the last option I’d ever tick)
Area view (novelty thing, I can view the junk in my garage as I’m trying to squeeze through in a seagull eye view now)
Total impulse buy.
Stock car, had just arrived at the dealership covered in summer dust - a great way to view a black car!
Timed to perfection as it was collected just as the hosepipe ban came in 🙄
Why? I can’t quite fathom why yet. I had no interest other than light curiosity in the Ed50.
I was 100% dead set on getting a full electric car next as I’m totally converted to one pedal driving and instant torque blasts out of corners, love it! I’d become totally disengaged with the whole Golf thing of late but still really enjoying the R and had hoped to keep it another year or so. I’d not managed to find that ‘Goldilocks’ EV that would drag me away from nearly 4 decades of Golf ownership either.
I was offered one of the very first Cupra Raval VZ Extreme cars in the country a couple weeks ago and was sorely tempted, but the initial batch are in matte paint finish and that’s too much for me to cope with! Fab looking thing though. So on the rebound from that I stumbled accross this Golf and thought ‘why not, one last one, let’s go out with a special edition’ and so that was that.
A bit like going into an animal shelter to look at some fluffy white kittens then coming out with a black panther, here I am, and already totally paranoid about the paint.
I did pull into a lay-by to take some photos but in the bright sunshine they all turned out crap and I have no idea about photo composition either. I’d even written out a load of first thoughts for a standalone thread but decided I’d just dump it in here instead in heavily summarised form.
