Just Picked it Up...
« on: 21 November 2006, 10:50 »
Hi All,

What a great way to start a Tuesday morning, picking up my new metallic silver R32 from my local dealer, and joining the forum  :smiley:

After spending two years with a Saab Cabrio I wanted to inject a little fun into my daily driver so decided to chop in the cab and go for an R32 DSG after reading so many glowing reports on it. Have to say I am very pleased with my decision to do so.

I now have two awsome cars to choose from  :evil:

Cheers

Ollie

Cool car and welcome to the MK5 forum!

Photo's please ASAP!  :cool:

I just loved my second, silver R32 - It was far more subtle than my DBP one and much better built!

Enjoy it fella and don't forget to try your LAUNCH CONTROL!

Cheers Doc,

Dealer was qizzed about launch control but I was told that if I used it more than twice I would invalidate my warranty with VW... Seems crazy to program a facility like that into the management system of the car and then tell you it will knacker you if you use it.

Pics as requested:















Keep finding the smallest of excuses to get into it and drive it  :laugh:

Very nice indeed - have you got the darkened rear windows?  :cool:

I think that what the dealer said about launch control and the warranty is rubbish - wouldn't have thought they could tell. I've done it more than twice on my GTI so hope not anyhow!

Thanks Dalgleish00, and yes the side and rear window are tinted (factory option). Let's hope the dealer is wrong about the launch control invalidating the warranty as I intend to enjoy the facility seeing as VW installed the thing in the first place  :grin:
