My mates new wheels. Think I'm in love.
« on: March 30, 2012, 08:19:37 pm »
Bit of a long story but my mate popped round this evening with his new wheels.

Absolutely stunning following it's new car prep at Valet Magic. iPhone pics but you get the idea.  :drool:





All the toys bar a sunroof. He let me drive but with only 44 miles on the clock I took it steady. Love it.  :ashamed:

Yep, that is perfect. You can keep your S3 or your RS3.

.
There's a blue Golf R like that local to me. I came across him in a 30mph zone on some B-road twisties a couple of days ago and as anticipated, exactly as I do myself, he booted it only when his shoulders were level with the actual NTL sign (aka GLF sign = Go Like Feck!). So I knew we were onto a very fast but sensible drive. I kept my braking distances but try as he may, he could not lose me. I'm sure that had I been in front I wouldn't have been able to lose him either. My Quaife got plenty of exercise and we both enjoyed a very spirited drive. I expect that one or two folks we overtook wondered what was going down! But again, he took no risks and neither was I going to. My daughter was in my passenger seat and I'm glad to say she was very cool and simply commented quietly that it was fast. He had a blonde beside him too.

I really like the Golf R and especially that blue.

Don't you miss the V6 sound though, Ian?

Robin... the only situation where the golf R would have legs on you is from a standing start. With all your mods on the twisties it wouldn't stand a chance.
