Golf R coming soon
« on: 16 February 2023, 07:36 »
Hi all from West Wales.
I've very excited to be getting back into a golf after a long break. I previously owned a Mk11 16v 3 door which was one of the best cars I've ever had. I had it back in 1991, so you will know I'm no spring chicken! J226TPJ if anyone knows where it is now?
I'm also into my Audi's and have a couple of interesting classics including an ultra rare Nothelle S2.
Anyway, you guys seem an interesting bunch and I'm bound to need advice.  :cool:

Welcome aboard Tractor Dave  :smiley:

It looks like you’ve had some interesting cars in the time since you last had a Golf GTI.  :cool:

Do you have a build date for your R yet?

Well, picked up my Golf from Swindon VW today and thoroughly enjoyed the drive back to Wales. Very impressed with the car and the service I received from the guys at Swindon.  :cool:

Congrats Tractor Dave.
Living in Wales you’ll at least have some great roads to drive the new steed on.

It would be nice if you could post up a few photos, we don’t see many 8R’s on here which is a shame.

No, but it’s dead easy.
Hit reply, just below the text box in blue is “add image to post” hyperlink which takes you straight through to an image uploader. Only takes a few seconds :afro:

Let’s see a few more of your collection too!  :smiley:
