Is it from the Volve dealership in Warwick?

Thats right Mike, Tollbar Volvo. I work just down the road from there near the castle.

First views.. the noise is addictive, and it goes round roundabouts sideways very nicely on slippy roads like today if you really thump it :laugh: Even at 2 years old it's very tight and precise. Just need to adjust to the sharpness of the brakes and get used to the gear changes.

I work just round the corner on the Warwick Tech Park. Saw your R32 when I was looking at my GTI there thought it was a really nice colour scheme.

I collected my GTI from them this time last week. I'm sure you'll have a fun weekend with it.
