then might get an R32 next year for 6 months or so before the GTI-R  :jumpmove: :jumpmove:

....Joe, you do realise don't you that the "GTI-R" is not guaranteed to happen. At best it's 50/50 currently.

Good deal as the R32 now is, and we know how much you love anything that's a good money deal, you might be stuck with it for much longer than 6 months. Great car though!

:happy2:

why would i be stuck with it??  :confused: if you think about it the they are going for 16.5k new!! over 6 months of driving it people will still be selling second hand ones for more money that i bought a new one for, so re-sale should be loss of about 1k, and if i liked it alot id probs invest my best to get 300bhp from it  :drool:

....When I said "stuck with it" I didn't mean financially! :rolleye: - I meant it is likely to be difficult to sell - Due to lack of demand? I may be wrong of course.

....Personally, I'm not inclined to ask Regal about anything! But that's a different story and one I won't expand on.

It depends what you want from a car and how you use it. Car's like Regal's and Awesome's are demonstrators for all the gear they are marketing. They aren't built to last - Just see how long they keep their demo cars for. Plus it doesn't cost them so much to build or maintain or repair/modify etc.

But, as always, ETTO :happy2:

That ATP kit looks good - just maybe a little too much though - if it was the GT28RS ...
