Hi everyone, help i'm in a hole
P40 THN:
Thanks for the welcome guys,
I think im sliding towards the r :confused:

You wont find an ED30 with full leathers...it was never an option.

^Damn no leathers, i will have to invest in some if i get the ed30. I think the only issue with the r is running cost, otherwise i love it in everyway.

It's a tough one between the two... I wish I never sold my R32 if that tells you something...

^Your right about the type r not having as good build quality but handling and pace it defo had. Its more of a toy
That last comment tells me a lot, thanks :happy2:

i wouldnt count on .:R32 owners selling because a rise in fuel prices though, we're already penalised heavily on road tax, insurance and fuel anyway so a few pence more is a drop in the ocean :laugh:

^True, but i was in a debate about rising fuel cost on the r32oc and most of them said when fuel price hits £1.50 they will be selling, i guess everyone has there own limits. :drinking:

^This is the comment that swung me towards the r, soooooooo true :evilgrin:
--- Quote from: JJ on March 03, 2011, 06:38:49 pm ---I do like a nice fry up in Millhouses Park caff though! :laugh:

^Hmmmmmmmmmmm is that a fellow sheffield being :laugh:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I have driven an r32 but not an ed30, just by looking the r looks more planted, dont ask where i got that idea it just does lol
before i plunge at 1 though, i will be taking both for a test drive.
Thanks again guys, more comments welcome :popcornsoda:

As already said, V6 on Milltek is a sound to die for! But the GTI is far more tactile to drive and cheaper to own (unless you have a carbonfibre fetish!).
VC:
agreed, the V6 sound is epic :evilgrin: but i am biased!
theres absolutely nothing wrong with a sorted GTI though! if i didnt own an .:R i would be in one for sure (MK5 not MK6)
and as far as red ones go, RedRobins is my favourite on here :love:
but if i was owning one... it would look a little more like this:

....I'm very flattered :drinking:
I also much prefer the Mk5 to the Mk6 and it's not because I've got one. SteveP's is the best modded Mk6 I've seen so far though.
That red one with the black roof you posted is also one of my favourites. In fact I think it was me who first posted pics of it here. If I hadn't already got the carbon nose I might have vinyl'd the same parts.
