Blimey Pike-Man, you don't mess around with your thoughts do you  :wink:

I agree with most of them though. 

But if the misses needs her 4x4 security come the winter then a R32 will be ordered, I can live with that  :cool: :cool: :cool:

 :smiley: well, the R32 is not exactly a bad car, far from it... I just don't like the look of it, truth be told.  BTW,4WD is not much use on ice, I've lost count of the people I've met who think that their quarttro (TT, S3, R32, etc) would give them more grip in those sort of conditions. My last few cars have all had 4WD and all been as difficult as a 2WD on ice.  Well worth having when the roads get wet though...  I wont be mixing it with any R32's then  :wink:

I bought my R32 because the residuals are higher on the R32 than the far more common GTi and because it just drives better.  :grin:

PLUS if you supercharge the R32 your chipped tyre eating GTi is going to get the Fecking of its life  :grin:

Yeah, but a 45bhp chip for the GTI can be had for about £500 - and whilst everyone on this forum knows that money is no object to The Doc, how much would supercharging your R32 cost?  :wink:

If I wanted speed, I'd see my local dealer!!!!!!!!!!!   :smug:

Finesse and Control at regular speeds is the way forward, retaining your licence whilst grinning like a cheshire cat  :cool: :cool: :cool:  I'd love to see Pug bring out another 106 rally as good as the original....
