Cheers Maxitrol!
Have no idea where to start with mod's at the moment? contemplating getting the rear bumper, skirts and splitter sprayed or possibly replaced with ED30 kit before i start tinkering with the maps and engine.

I've heard of, but never been there, and probably never will! :D

I'm in Bathgate mate, just outside Livingston.

That R32 looks a cracker. Sometimes wish I'd went for the R32 just for the burble!

I don't blame you at all! I used to drive the M8 a long time ago and stop off at Blackburn for a visit which should be just across the way from you?

Yeah the R32 was brilliant I'll more than likely get another one if not possibly the new R when they start to come down in price!

I'm actually in Blackburn.  Find that I get a better response when I say Bathgate as more people know where it is.  Suppose the emergance of SuBo has put us more on the map!  :smiley:

The R could well be my next chariot of choice.  Got a hankering for a Scirroco as well though.  Decisions, decisions!

Welcome to the forum Scott, great camera skills!

Most of my family are "up the coast" as we say here from Peterhead, got folks in Portknockie, cousins in Cullen and up to see my granny at the Lythe home when I'm home from overseas. Will keep a look out for your car!
