How do you find the Golf R? Some great contrat hire rates around - mate has ordered his n hers!!

The contract lease thread is worth a read (it's longer than War & Peace though). I didn't go the lease route as I was tied into VW finance with my last one, so I'm not on those cheap rates, which seem too cheap - doesn't help the value of mine in a few years time .

Anyways, one month in - super so far. Fuel consumption has settled down and is about what I'd expect (22mpg in hoon mode, 25mpg in commuting mode, 35mpg on a sensible motorway jaunt).

It's rapid enough when required, and covers ground with so little fuss that I'm sure many would say it's boring

Chaps, not sure if you've seen THIS, be careful where you post details etc

A Fisker on the A420 this morning heading towards Swindon. If it hadn't been for the registration - F15KER - I probably wouldn't have recognized it.

Probably one of my more unusual spots!

Black Aston DBS near Plymstock this afternoon, appropriate "V12" number plate. We quickly pulled over to hear your car roar off!

White audi r8 on the Bristol Road coming out of shepton mallet. (Yesterday afternoon)

Not a spotted but does anyone else get freaked out but the big bush close to the road on the A303 Ilminster bypass heading East? It catches me out every Monday morning at 5am. It might be because I have poor headlights but it just suddenly appears there looking like a big hairy Yeti.

Not noticed the yeti bush, will look out for it next time I drive down that way.

I think I know the one you mean. If you come down the A303, it's there on your left hand side.

Harsh, but fair!!

Saw about half a dozen VAG cars in a convoy this afternoon near Abbots Leigh, in Bristol. Maybe, a Volkswagen show locally.....

One of the Polo's had 'dapper' written in black on it. I'm not sure what this means..............
