On the way down to Portsmouth this weekend saw two Blue MKV R32s
1st) MKV R32
Blue
'V6' in the Reg
I attually cant remember for the life of me where about on the motor way that was
2nd) MKV R32
Blue
'RED' in the plate
A419 near Swindon if i remember rightly.
Both looked stunning

The blue for the R32 is called Deep Blue Pearlescent and it's a stunning colour :notworthy:
What's rarer is a red R32, Mk4 or Mk5, and even rarer with 'RED' in the plate.
Around Portsmouth:

A Warm Welcome to the forum, Verity - What do you drive?

Hi! Thankyou :smiley:
I have a mkV Polo GTI.
I've loved the MKV Golfs for a while now. But only admired them from far. My boyfriend has recently really got into ed30s and is also currently trying to convince me to get a R32
So I've been lurking around on here a little bit, and have been admiring pictures of your car previously (gorgeous car by hre way) and the plate really stood out
Infact when I saw the 'RED' in the plate you car came to mind. But Then I remembered yours was a Red one and this one was blue.
I think the guy thought I was really odd cos I was just full blown staring. :ashamed: and had the windows down attempting to hear it
-
Verity from UK-Polos with the silver GTI? :happy2:
-
Yeah thats me
haha hey Alex :smiley:
-
Happy days. Get a Mk5 GTI...youll love it :signLOL:
-
nah... fcuk it get an .:R32 :evilgrin:
-
edition 30...all the power with more tuning options. Plus much less tax and higher MPG :signLOL:
-
yadda yadda yadda :laugh:
-
Haha my boyfriend is trying his hardest to get me to get one
He only wants me to get an R32 so he can enjoy a bit of 4wd :signLOL:
There's something about the ed30s that I just love. It just screams 'Oh Yes!' At me (ok that sounds odd , bit is the only way I can explain it)
I LOVE the sound of the R32s ( well from what Ive heard from YouTube. Listening to the one on the motor way really didn't work....mainly just a load of wind noise)
It's the tax that really puts me off the R32. I really want to know where my current £200 tax goes as by the looks of all the pot holes where I live, the money certainly doesn't go into the roads.
-
R32s do have a lovely roar to them ill give you that...as for tax, if you get an early one before they revised emissions law, the tax is only £240 which is rather reasonable!
-

....The sign of a true enthusiast! Nothing quite like a R32 V6 in full song :notworthy:
It's really disappointing when other drivers of nice cars aren't also enthusiasts and don't wave back or even smile.
-
Haha I'm glad you think so I don't feel quite as odd now
I really can't help myself, I see a nice car and I get the erge to just try and take in as much of it's beauty as I can but just staring
There's a chap who I see around sometimes where I live who has the same car as me but in black
I'll always look to smile but he always looks kind of angry at me :sad1:

I didn't know that! That's attually a hellova better!

....Then he's the one with a problem, not you. Doesn't he like exchanging smiles with girlies (or in fact at anyone) - Silly boy!
Perhaps he's snobbish - Him in a Golf and you in a Polo :stupid:
-
welcome to the forum--we need pics of :happy2:your car..if it was a choice for me i would go for the r32 just for that sound of the exhaust
-

Haha glad you think so. well if you ever see a blonde girl in a Polo GTI or a G40, staring at your car, you best smile back, cos i'll hold you to it if you dont ;)

juts posted up in the new memebers section. I was avoiding it because I never know what to say, and feel like a fool :ashamed: but you all seem so nice i thought i'd give it a shot :smiley:
The sound is so amazing and having seen the two on the motor way i think I would deffinatly get myself a blue one. VW really does make some gorgeous blues.

.... :laugh: Whenever I see a blonde, brunette, or redhead in a VeeDub you'll find me smiling at ya - That's guaranteed! I expect you already know that most blokes who are into cars get especially excited when they see a girlie driving any nice car :wink: There's something special about such a combination.
Excuse my ignorance but what's a G40? :ashamed: Surely not a GT40!?
-
Its a special Mk3 Polo, I guess kind of like the GTI version of the mk3s, is the best way to explain it.
they are only a 1.3. Supercharged.
My boyfriends one has had a lot of work done to it and is currently 171BHP, which for a little car that weighs nothing, its brilliant.
Ive lost count of the amount of times hes been stopped and asked 'is that really what I think it is?' :signLOL:

Pocket Rocket!
But my absolute favourite pocket rocket would be a modified Lupo GTI :notworthy: Nothing too much, just a 1.8 turbo engine.

Got a red .:R32 in at work, never liked red but I really want it :love:
-
More mpg for a GTI? Only just!!! :signLOL:
Robin I've not had one single flash from a fellow GTI driver. :sad1:
-

I'm a fan of the lupo GTIs too. An awesome little car from VW in all fairness.

I never tend to like red cars full stop but there is something about the mkV that looks so good in red

I've only had one flash and that was from a guy in a lupo gti..... Well I did attually get flashed by an old guy today on my way to work but I think the old guy mistook me for someone else who has a similar car :sad1:

Very luck
And really good looking motor!!!!
