New Brief

[jock156]

Well my Zed went to the scrappy yesterday and there was room on the drive

Scoured on line for a few weeks looking for lowish miles and FSH. There are a lot out there that are insanely quick or have been ragged! Or both!

Got chatting to this bloke Billy who had this 74k, FSH, near enough every receipt and everything else

So, after 3 trains, one tube and umpteen hours THIS is now sitting on my drive!

Very comfortable to drive and economical with it

 

[Mr Tidy]

A sad day for your Z4 Brian, but hopefully your Golf R will make up for that!

It's even got 4 exhaust tips already. :wink:

 

[bigwinn]

Well done matey!!

 

[jock156]

Strangely feel content re. exhaust tips. :rofl:

Cheers BW, it’s a lovely drive :driving:

 

[Argyll Andy]

Brian, it’s got a bl00dy roof oke: :rofl:

Looks lovely, I’ve got something similar just now, a Leon CUPRA, it’s bloody quick and sore on tyres but I somehow seem to be getting the blame for that :tumbleweed:

 

[Mr Tidy]

Brian, it’s got a bl00dy roof. oke: :rofl:

Less of that please. A roof is essential living in the UK, unless you like getting wet. And a proper one rather than some sort of pram-like temporary contraption seems like a better idea. :fuelfire: :lol:

 

[MikeyH]

How do you remove it when the sun is out? oke:

Now, now, now Iain, we both know you’ll only see half the scenery that the rest of us will see in a few weeks

Prison?

 

[Mr Tidy]

I've got windows though, and even if I only see half of it that will be fine.

Not sure what MikeyH is expecting us to get up to though!

[Pondrew]

It's even got 4 exhaust tips already.

Whatever you do, don't tell Brian that two are fake. They do nothing except look nice.

I like an R Golf, especially with the 'pretoria' wheels. Please tell me it's a manuel and not one of those DCT nonsense things.

 

[IRD]

I have always fancied one of these. Speed and comfort. Looks like a really good example.Congratulations!

 

[buzyg]

I do like a hot hatch. Nice one. :driving:

 

[enuff_zed]

I’ll nip round and dismantle that one too, shall I?

 

[jock156]

Not yet! At least wait until tomorrow :wink:

Pondy, the DSG box looks so good in them, but this is a manual

Like I said I searched long and hard for a car that ticked all the boxes I want :wink:

As much as I love the colour blue, didn’t want a blue one, and this Reflex Silver is a rare colour on the Rs 19” Pretoria alloys was another box that required ticking! :wink:

 

[pvr]

Ah manual, a real driver’s car. Lovely car, way up in power compared to the Z

 

[jock156]

pvr way up on power from a 2L Zed :wink:

 

[Phoenixboy]

nice one Brian, they are quick and fun, but i do miss having a convertible in this weather.
The panoramic sunroof i have is ok, but not the same.
I may end up in another convertible at some stage.

 

[Mr Tidy]

That's a very different take on a 4 cylinder 2 litre - enjoy. :driving:
