What car have you beat in your R32

[Rigsby]

i had a race "childish" with an R32 sunday morning, up rossendale by pass for any one who doesnt know it its quite steep and stright and over 1 1/2 miles, it was funny really the R32 owner came stright along side me and slowed down and then booted it, and so did i to be honset it wasnt close i pulled away quite easily, by the time we hit the brow i was quite away ahead, i slowed down and he caught me up, he started flashing me, i noticed he was smiling so i pulled up further on at a laybye, he got out of car laughing saying what the hell have you done to that, my car has a remap and is supporsidly 310bhp, i like the R32 its a better looking car than he GTI/ED30, but an ED30 remapped is quite a lot quicker and thats a fact.

At least you could have a bit of laugh with the guy, usually you get some d#'k head who takes it the wrong way and starts driving like git

So are you liking the car a bit more now stan?  (n

Glad to hear it  

I got a bit fed up with my ED30, I only get to use it at weekends, hardly ever during the week and then it's just round town, I started thinking why did I buy it but when I get the chance to have a real drive, I must admit I love it. Your right by saying they are not the fastest thing out there but it can still surprise me (mine's not chipped). 

BTW, stop being lazy and get it cleaned, the weather at the moment will make your fingers look like Wall's sausages but it needs to be done

The only thing is, even though its just a few miles away, we may go just a few times a year! It's a gorgeous place but for exmaple, me and the mrs had a few days in one of those 'hand picked hotels' in Wetherby, West Yorkshire, that was a superb place, never been there before

I don't know... today i was following R32 uphill, and my wheels were spinning on starts and on acceleration (I had ESP on and felt it work), so I guess R32 will pull away on inclines, especially twisty inclines.

Also, R32 sounds real sexy  , but we all know that. Ed30 sounds really thin in comparison  , but hey, it is a four-pot!

I know this is a golf forum but the R32 has been mentioned, any way not so long ago I followed a black 06my R32 very early in the morning on my way home from work I was in my Focus ST225(albiet stage 2 bluefin, k&n gen 2 induction, miltek cat back and piper decat=290bhp/350ft lb) it was very wet but I caught upto him and he oviously wanted to give it some so I obliged.  On the straights I easily passed him but when a round about came up it was a joke in my focus front wheel drive and nearly 300 horses dont mix any way if my focus had of been std it would have spanked my arse and on the other hand if the Golf had of been fettled it would have spanked my arse.  The focus is in the auto trader now and ive bought a 05my golf gt tdi140 soon to be 190.
