Title: Done the deal - Bye bye GTI Hello MKV R32!
Post by: dmac1969 on January 27, 2014, 08:18:36 pm: Just waiting for the plate transfer to go through then I can bring it home - 2009/58 , 3 door , DPB , Manual , Leather , Winterpack , RCD 500 , Ameranths , 32000 miles. Should be good , thought if I dont buy one now I'll never get one.

Enjoy your purchase

Post by: skard on January 27, 2014, 09:28:33 pm: Lovely.

I did a course recently and a lad had a 3dr DPB - I spent all my time looking at the R32, he spent all his time looking at the Eddy.
I should really get one before they are all completely molested.

Post by: bigeyd on January 28, 2014, 10:08:28 am: Looks a cracker,I honestly believe every lover of driving should have had the experience of extra cylinders in their life.

Post by: Horatio on January 28, 2014, 10:37:03 am: Welcome to the dark side :evilgrin: Really like this colour, really stands out in the flesh. Saw a dbp last week in London, when they are all polished up they turn heads!! The V6 noise is unescapable, you wont ever want to part with it. :driver:

Post by: swgti on January 28, 2014, 10:51:35 am: Followed a DBP one the other day and all the wife and I said was how much we'd love one, pretty much think I'd cope with the fuel bill as it'd only do 5-6k miles a year max but couldn't bring myself to pay £475 a year in tax....just couldn't and the 05/55 plates are very hard to come across.

Post by: webby888 on January 29, 2014, 07:25:21 am: How you finding the R32 in comparision to a GTI? Is the real world running cost much higher? I have always been tempted to do this swap myself!
Title: Re: Done the deal - Bye bye GTI Hello MKV R32!
Post by: markc on January 29, 2014, 10:31:47 am: Nice lookin car matey :happy2: I agree with comment re going for extra cylinders at least once in your life, I had a VR6 in my life once and it was fabulous, the noise was to die for :laugh: I look forward to clean and shiny pics :drinking:

Not got it yet mate , still waiting on the plate transfer and in answer to the question on the first page , aye its from GTI World in Edinburgh. Ive had V6s before just not Golfs , I ran a 2.8i Capri and a 280 Brooklands for years in the 90s....
