Although I doubt she wil you should convince her to move to Orlando haha. (tell her its central FL so she wont get bad weather) hahahahah. Orlandos VW scene is actually kind of decent. I didnt know what to expect coming from MA's awesome vw scene but I was delightfully surprised!

Ah ha, actually the other pictures were before and the Camo was after. But yes I have since taken it off as well as all my modifications and my cars getting ready to be sold. :( I will miss her but im keeping it VW or AUDI and either getting a MKIV R32 or a B6 S4. Most likely the R32 though. So im sure most of you will approve  :driver:

I also dont know how it works over there but in the US we only have 5000 R32's produced thus making them rare, espically the MKIVs which everyone wants due to them being the only standard transmission R available to us.  :sick:

i think they get dsg only  :confused:

Post by: Mikey Scraps on April 04, 2011, 09:40:01 pm
For MKIV we get 6 Speed Manual only Which is a good thing
For MKV we get DSG only WHICH SUCKS. Haha
and for MKVI we havnt even gotten the Golf R yet, but I hate the fact that they took out the VR6 and its going to be extremely overpriced espically when you can buy a mkv or mkvi GTI and get a tune or two and be up to the Golf R's power (obviously FWD to AWD will still be the difference though)
