Cuprabob Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Good news and the waiting for you is almost over. Great looking car and nice and rare at the moment, unlike R32s which are now on the chav radar. I'm awaiting the factory to confirm my order for my Rocco and until they do I keeping thinking I should go for another R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Have to say, I don't think it's fair to say the original R32 is now on the chav radar. Yeah, there's loads of TDi's with R32 bodykits on them being driven about and further modded by barry's and chavs, but without exception, every genuine R32 I see appears to be well looked after, and not barried up at all. They seem to attract genuine enthusiasts, rather than your boy racer types, who just seem to buy old Evo's and Scooby's these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 My comment is based my recent experiences on the R32OC forum however, on the whole I agree with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Well Mook used to own a barried up one, so I guess there are always exceptions, he's definately a chav! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I'm turning into a grumpy old man, so anybody under 30 is a chav to me :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Must admit I don't see many chavved R32's in these parts. Most seem very well cared for and original. The chav-the-performance-car badges seem to go the way of Golf GTi's and A4's of many varieties around here. Lots of stupidly badged RS4's with diesel engines for a start. They are outnumbered by Imprezas of course, with the odd Evo for good measure, all wearing more badges than the rest put together and with mud flaps that would cover a small house.

TP27 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 My Golf R is in the UK - all things being well, should take delivery the weekend after next. Just need DVLA to 'play ball' with the Cherished Transfer !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashleywater Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Let us know when it lands TP27 and what your first impressions are. Soulboy, you know as well as I do, TP is not going to be disappointed.....................The R is a cracking bit of kit, and dynamically superior to an R32 in all ways.............the sound track isnt bad either!

TP27 Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Let us know when it lands TP27 and what your first impressions are. It'll be off the Transporter tomorrow - just been in to drop off the R32 and am the proud driver now of a Golf Plus TDi until Saturday - one last fly in the ointment is DVLA (please send my Retention Document for my Private Plate asap) !!

Soulboy Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Hope the pick up has gone well TP27? Once you get a moment, a comparison against the R32 would be good before you forget what it was like. Hope you are enjoying it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
