Hello everyone, I hope you're all well.

I wanted to introduce everyone to my most recent car, a MK7 Golf R and before you even think it, I know there are a lot of them. I've wanted one since release as I was one of the first people to drive them just before their release back in 2014 (the only perk of being in the motor trade).

I've gone for the usual Lapiz Blue. I wasn't too fussed for additional spec as I just wanted a nice example to make my own. [url]

I have a fair amount of plans for the car which will see me through a good few years of ownership. I run a YouTube channel for a variety of things and I'm sure if you used your initiative you'll find it (don't wanna advertise!) At present I've only done a few OBDeleven modifications and aesthetic things whilst I gathered my thoughts about modifying it.

Anyhow, for now that's it for me. See you around.

Nice, these are serious weapons with a few tweeks, my mate has on running 480bhp, it's very impressive! What plans do you have? The cartoon is cool too! Who done that, CM something?

another one, did the last one get knicked? wink

lovely, enjoyed mine, fantastic bit of engineering, but don't really miss it - i'm afraid i'm in the 'it is a bit too good to enjoy it on public roads most of the time' camp and found myself doing silly speeds the speed limit where ever i could - it was amazing blasting pottering around north wales though smile

enjoy!

I dont understand the lust for the lack of proper 4wd'ness in these, if they could fit it in the lancia, then they can fit it in the Golf. Why haldex?>

As the Golf R is predominantly FWD with rears only kicking when needed you have lower power usage for normal driving hence higher mpg and lower emissions than a permanent 4WD.
