My New R32
« on: 01 May 2006, 17:34 »
Hi all
New to this forum !!

Always looked through the forum for advice & general knowledge, now i decided it was time to join in.

So i just sold my 1997 Golf GTI 8v (Dragon Green). Excellent car, had 7 years great driving out of it.  I always wanted the R32 just like most of us, & guess what - I just bought myself one & it takes my breath away everytime i jump into her. :grin:
I have to say you do get some looks when driving it around !
I'm in N.Ireland & found it very hard to pick one up in the dealers over here, so i took myself of to England & got my dream car.

Anyone got any good ideas about the spare wheel situation, or lack of it. Naturally i dont want to carry a full size wheel around in the boot. Has anyone ever used the tyre foam - if so does it do the job, or is it hopeless??
I have included a photo of my new car (Oct 03) Black, full black leather etc etc. What do you all think ????
Thanks
Eddie

Avoid tyre foam mate because it fooks your tyre they can't repair a puncher after you use it you have to buy a new tyre.

For Insurance try Elephant.co.uk & add a woman driver as a second driver - watch those premiums fall. I saved about £150 by this method.
I wish my insurance was as cheap as you boys over there on the Mainland!! :laugh:
