[Ollie C]

I'll let the pictures do the talking, but if you're thinking of going, do it!

Very nice, don't see many R in Silver, looks good.

Thanks. Partly the reason for ordering a silver one!

I was in the camp that thought the Golf R was a bit of a dull drive; I've been in North Wales this week, on damp twisty roads it really comes into it's own. I wish i'd done it sooner.

Some odd 50/national speed limit usage around here though.

That's the best colour for that car.

Lovely.

It was great. So confidence inspiring and stable up there. It then took my mate and I back to Sussex in comfort whilst getting 35 mpg.

Very nice..

Times have changed now, ordered mine last week and its here already, had choice of 3 in stock as well.

Did the triangle in my m3 last year, certainly will return with the golf.

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the comparison. I felt I was probably quicker acrosss the ground in the R than I would've been in my previous C4S. I guess that's progress for you!

Great photos, lovely car. I lived in North Wales for 6 years until quite recently and never did the evo triangle, though I probably drive on a few bits of it. Those photos are really making me miss the place and regret not driving the full thing!

More and more I like the Golf R and this really persuades me more. I'm glad you had a nice trip!

They're ubiquitous for a reason. It's a fantastic car.

Thanks! It's stunning up there. :-)

Looks great

Looks like you had a good time and some decent weather. The R looks great in silver, I really like that.

Did you do any other roads whilst you were there? B4391, Llanberis pass, A498 etc

[scrambler95]

I had a run out there today in the Focus RS, great having the confidence of AWD as it was a bit chilly out there this morning!

Great pics by the way
