My R32 is coming next week  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: - with this new-fangled thing called DSG... just want to see what all the fuss is about.  I reckon i'll still stick with the manual for my Edition 30 order though

Hi, Doc from USA.  Can you please post the pics of the SILVER AND BLUE R that are in your sign?  your GALLERY  seems like you deleted all the  pics.  I’m going crazy trying to decide my next R color thanks.  Where is the R32 V pics here?

I'm trying to convince my manager to get both a GTi and R32 onto our fleet (car hire company) and I thnk he is coming round to the idea, especially after he saw a black 3 dr gti at a Tesco car park.

How great would it be to have the AWD and engine from the R32 in a GTi body, cz looks wise, IMO, the GTi looks far better. I thought I saw a R32 but it was a Passat. Thats when I knew the GTi was for me.

The R32 is a beast compared to the GTI.... you could always buy an R32, fit a GTI grill on it - leave the rear end as it looks spot on, supercharge the engine and have 400bhp+ on tap on a 3.2 engine instead a weedy 2 litre like in the VW study. The all you'd have to do is add a carbon bonnet and an R-GTI badge front and back - job done.  :tongue: :tongue:

Plus you'd have no traction issues as you'd have 4wd  :grin: :grin:

Any luck with the launch control yet? If not PM me with a contact number and I call you up and talk you through it :wink:

Been away for 2 weeks, but yes i have sorted the launch control now. Dont find it has that much advantage over just flooring it yourself. cheers for the help
