Following on from the Lease on Golf R where several pictures were posted I thought it might be nice to have a gallery.

I'll start:

Manual with the only option being the paint colour

Are we keeping you up? Must be those oil burning fumes from your GTD

It's a Golf mate, we all know what they look like. Christ, there's enough of them around.

Yep, and this is a motor enthusiast's website, meant for info & a bit of harmless fun.

mind you, judging by the number of replies it looks like you may have a point

It's those 4 pipes. I just don't understand.

I guess they are a bit OTT. Thing is, the car is more for driving than looking at, and it is a great drive!

Well..this wasn't a picture I was expecting to post after 174 miles!!!

[2 sMoKiN bArReLs]

Luckily I still had my reliable old trusty to get me to my destination

Oh dear - what happened?

Indicators packed up & full beam. Suspect need a new column switch.

Apart from the false start all going well!

It's an interesting comparison with my other baby

How do you find the Golf R compared to the R32?

It's different. Feels a lot faster, but maybe that's the newy newness!

[2 sMoKiN bArReLs]

Chauffeur looks a bit small!

50bhp between them you'd hope the 7R was faster

Presume the R is probably lighter too

Thought it might be a good excuse to post gratuitous pictures of the first real proper shake down.

Road trip of 2,300 miles

Battled round operation stack in time to enjoy dinner near Bethune Friday night. (Original plan was to stay in Ashfield Friday & catch early Saturday shuttle...but we just pressed on and made our first pit stop about 21.30



Next day was a biggie....930km to Saint Remy de Provence. Gorgeous place, fab hotel. Was hot!



After a few lovely days onward to one of our favourite places in the world..Villefranche-sur-Mer







Time for a few of these:

Always sad to leave Villefranche..but onwards to Varenna on Lake Como Via Alba in wine country



Still hot!



Chance for some alternate transport





Time for some snap with the best view!



Time for home!
