.:R32 rims


Always looking to make changes and see what I can get, but nothing hits the spot right now, well within my price range anyway  :evilgrin:

Always risky trying a different set of rims, CHs are always a winner though  :happy2:

I used to look at plenty of other cars, from the new GT-R to Porsche to M3 to RS4 although when I compare the grunt of most of them (GT-R excepted) they are only as quick as my ED30. The longer I keep her, the more attached I become and somehow I think it will have to be a seriously good car to pull me away from her loving arms :happy2:

Recently compared the performance stats of the Revo cupra to the new M3 and the cupra is faster in every increment apart from 0-20mph and over 120mph, so which is the fastest in the real world - then I think that mine is even faster with DSG!!! :surprised:

For the past 5-6 years I have changed my daily driver on average every 4 months.  I have now had my ED30 5 months and I can honestly say I have no intention of changing it anytime soon.  When I sit down and think about other cars I would like to own, they are either no practical enough in terms of running/maintainance costs or they cost too much in the first place.

The ED30 is a great balance of everything I need all wrapped up in a very subtle package and I feel very fortunate to be driving it.

I think thats one of the problem with modern society and its reflected in the current credit crunch.  People have not been happy with what they have and everything has become desposable.  Once you get what you want you then want something else.   I fell in love with the ED30 the day I bought it and that hasn't changed and I won't let it!

I'm a bit restricted to what I can drive, I need Auto/DSG, 2 door (access), rear seats (wheelchair), large boot for chair when I have passengers. So I'm always on the look out for something, nothing out there at the moment would tempt me away from #0418 and I've had it 2 years which is a record.
Talk of an RS3 next year now that would be tempting  :wink:

I'm exactly the same...

Even today, I parked next to a colleague from Germany's R32 - blue, lowered on coilovers with Black 19'' OZ wheels, with a milly (nice car  :happy2: ) and I have to say - I coveted it - even with all the road grime over it from his trip over from Germany.

It also happens strangely every time I see a Porsche 997 911....

I have had this all the time since I have had the derv hence me getting rid of the thing. I can honestly say I never pined for another car when I had my ED30 because it was such a weapon (obviously dream car, Lambo's etc.) Who knows what will happen with the S3 but I think I will be very content for a while  :happy2:

....

During the nearly 4 years I've owned my GTI I've been lucky enough and privileged enough to drive all sorts of other performance cars and although I always expect to be, I have yet to be disappointed when I get back in my GTI.

[Cue for my extensive portfolio of pics of me sitting in cars giving the one-finger salute?]

She suits my needs perfectly - A truly excellent allrounder. The only thing that worries me is how long she'll go on for - I'm coming up to 70k miles.

I'm the same with ladies: If I'm in a relationship I don't feel any need to wander (ok, I might just look at the eye-candy but I'll do nothing about it). I've always been like that.

I'm always tempted by mods though!
