I did have for a week, in fact the day I picked it up, Mark was taking the Evo test slicks off, and putting road tyres on, so I could use her.

Great great car.

Believe it or not, that car is surprisingly frugal as well. 

I drove about 500 miles in her, mixture of A roads, Duals, B roads, traffic and no traffic, and returned about 33 mpg.  On the trip back to VWR, the traffic was heavy, but moving at about 60-65 and she showed me 36.  That was with a few sprited runs up to the speed limit!

Yes, I call her The Red Temptress - I have driven her on several different occasions and love that car as much as my own. She's totally practical and tactile - Everything a GTI should be.

Unadulterated Joy!

Is this the same car that was at the GTI springfest? The one which looked like it as falling apart?

Those wheels are  :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

Are they VWR's own wheel design?? Thats how the text makes it sound......

When i had it, it has some others on, MTM's I think.  Still very nice.

By now it should have a slightly more compliant suspension on, they were going to change it when I gave the car back.

....Quite a lot of VWR badged components are made specially or exclusively for them. My KW-V3's for example.

This evolves from their extensive experience racing and building GTI-platform cars (and vans!) and their special relationships with various manufacturing sponsors and VW as well.
