Heard that a nearby dealer had a couple in stock for immediate delivery, headed down to look at them today and ended up swapping my 911 4s cabby for this rather loverly red R

Hope it matches up to expectations!

Congrats!... I've had mine about two weeks now and absolutely love it! smile

The biggest thing for me is the handling which is crazy!

Enjoy!

Cheers - looking forward to collectng it on Weds, the test drive I took the demo car didn't really test the handling so I guess I'll get a chance to get to grips with that on Weds evening!

Yeah, it took me a while to work it out too.

At first, I thought it was "VW Life" - then I realised that if you make the plate illegal, you can make it spell Golf. So unless you want to get constantly pulled over...you're just left with a plate that has "VW" at the start of it. Or your name is Larry Fedrick Edmondson.

Ah, I was getting vw life too until I read your post.

Might be better suited to the e-Golf seeing as the R doesnt say Golf on it.

OP, that looks lovely. Looks great in red and the 19s really suit it. Enjoy!

I do like it in red; looks means with the dark contrasts.

Cheers! I thought it looked great in red with those wheels but in an understated way. If I had been ordering and waiting I might have stuck on leather and the adaptive dampers but it was close enough to what I wanted and available for collection within 3 days so all good!

Saw this on the dealerships Facebook page and as a result I've now made it my mission to locate some reasonably priced 19" Prets for my Tornado R which I recently picked up. They look phenomenal. smile

You'll really enjoy the R mate.


Cheers,
Grant

That looks amazing, same spec as mine will be, albeit with a big boot on the end!
