Chased a Golf R....

Chased a new Golf R on a local A-road yesterday but I gave up when getting into licence losing territory - Not worth it! Was going too fast for a pic.

Came across him at a roundabout and he grinned so I followed. It accelerated very well when we left the 40 zone but no faster than mine. I couldn't really hear it above my engine/zorst soundz but I would have heard Greenouse's for example. Looks good in blue - Very 'liquid' metallic. I soooo much prefer its look to the standard Mk6 GTI. From a styling pov it does look much more of a successor to the Mk5 R32.

If I was buying a Golf for the first time it would most definitely be the R.

....What and risk losing my licence? I won't say what speed I reached. Perhaps when I was a lot younger.

I've just dumped the two lots of 3pts off my licence for speeding (both 93 mph) 

Well, 3 years and not the 4 year thingy. What's the point of the feckin' extra year!?!

Its 3 for the police side of things. 4 years on your license and 5 years for insurance.

My insurers Greenlight don't seem to care but we already know they understand responsible enthusiasts.

Paper licence is just bureaucratic paperwork, so not too important when on the street.

Police? - I guess this means they no longer see any 'previous form' when they run your plate for a check. Probably the most useful.
