So i was thinking long and hard about what i wanted next and it was a toss up between 6R/7R/Rocco R.

The 6R i did like and was tempted by the 4WD but suspect 6R will become common place and would be a possible "next car" for most mk5 owners so that sort of ruled it out. the 7R is lovely but a) for the spec i would want was to expensive and b) all the renters/leasers deals would soon be coming to an end and suspect the market will be flooded with them so the Rocco it was. 



Few weeks ago took a trip to the Peak district Lady Bower and met up with a few of the Gang





A57 snake road is a beautiful drive and would recommend it  :happy2:

Looks great!
Love the front end :happy2:
Please excuse my ignorance but I know virtually nothing about thr scirocco R :ashamed:
Is it not the same engine and running gear as the Mk6 Golf R??

Same engine  (CDL) minus 4WD

Paradox1:
Good choice, everyone jumps on the 4wd band wagon. I think the rocco is better looking.

rdfcpete:
Looks great and I know it'll go great. I regularly am shotgun for a spin in a rising blue Roc R, they are truly a joy to be attached to for every drive.

Definitely never be common, even though the Mk6 R's are getting pretty sparse  :happy2:
