But don't hold your breath, I'd want something different to a used Golf for my money, even if it has got 300bhp

 

Anyway, I'm just off to put a £5 steak on the Grand National

Burgers are only worth having if they're Aberdeen Angus burgers

It's unfortunate ,that the instigator of the topic( see above alex_e3) hasn't helped with the maintenance and good housekeeping.

However ,as you can see likes to take the plaudits for creating the "monster".

 

Wow! A bit of a fly on the wall comment in jest has been turned into me supposedly taking the credit for the size of the thread!?! Err...ok...

 

Just to clarify, I have far more important things to be doing than strolling through pages and pages of threads cleaning it up. Obviously I have misinterpreted my responsibilities on this site as a user and paying Freedom member. With this in mind I'd like to offer my sincerest apologies for my lack of thread maintenance. I will therefore lock the thread due to not having the time to maintain it as I should.

 

Best regards to all and thank you for your participation throughout...

 

 

Mods, please feel free to re-open the thread, but I here-in relinquish my 'responsibilities'.

Just a reminder what the package is all about:http://www.evo.co.uk/volkswagen/golf-r

 

Hopefully some owners and prospective owners can contribute and develop constructively .

This thread is about the Golf R. Simple enough. If you don't want to discuss the Golf R, then don't post. If people are not interested then the thread will naturally head to the bottom of the forum..no need to moan, take it off topic etc etc.

I won't be tidying the thread any further..if it becomes abused, it will be locked. Simples...

Keith, have you considered a thread in the non-Skoda members cars section.

That's where my ST etc.... are.

Just a thought.

Or an "interesting links" thread as you seem to find a lot.

There's a lot of info on here

As the previous 'R' thread has sadly closed and as a person with a genuine interest in the car, I sincerely hope that only constructive posts are placed in this thread from now on.

The link Bryan posted has loads of info, far more than you'll ever get on a Skoda forum.

This isn't being negative BTW.

I was going to reply to some cost calcs in the old thread but found it "locked"............so here goes.........

 

VW UK got the base price of the R estate wrong & IMO............

 

Comparing the same engine/gearbox/trim the estate cost circa £680-£700 more than the 5dr hatch..........until you get to the R.....

 

£33,585 for estate..........£32,220 for the 5dr DSG hatch.......................difference of £1,365...............bloody stupid VW UK............want to charge even more & rip people off.........  ........idiots!!!................

 

BTW I noticed in this weeks Autocar mag that they have an R on long term now...........also even they state that the M135i & A45AMG are its competition & the R stacks up very well for it's sheer grip...................

Not the point :General Chat

You are being negative!imo

Hope you will give the new topic a change to bed in and not be corrupted.

Not sure how my picture of a Golf R was in any way negative or off topic, just a bit disappointed as a lot of effort went into it, but hey ho, I'm over it now

Just a general chat enquiry

 

How many Golf R owners are there actually on Briskoda who can chat with any experience on the marque?

ok don't own an R (have driven mk7) but do the spannerwork on & have driven my mates MK4 R32.........also owned VW's for 21ys................VW's in family since 1982 with a MKI Golf.....& I've worked on all seven MK's of Golf, various Polos,...........etc. etc................

I really like General Chat on Briskoda, it means there is no need to go to other forums to see other Manufacturers Products,

news on cars, new cars and various subjects.

 

Sad that the same members try to spoil threads, get them locked and the likes.

You do not have to own them to have driven them, experienced them, and have an interest in them,

be looking at getting the next development of them in the form of the estate.

The first post mentions 'prospective' owners too - I'm in that group so would only like to read things of interest as I mentioned earlier.

I really can't see why people are so 'anti R' - after all, this is Briskoda and not SCN!

I am seeing a lot more recently and really like them in the purpleish colour. It would be interesting to see how they compare to something like the new RS Focus.

Hmmm.. I didn't think I was.

 

It just seemed to me that you talking about your car or models closely linked to it (such as the estate) fitted in better with the non-Skoda Briskoda member's cars section.

 

You could have as much chat in there you liked and not being here it might get left alone as those that have made negative comments seem a bit fed up of loads of advertising and links about a car 99.9% of Briskoda members don't own.

Because it doesn't seem to be a bit of info in general car chat.  It's a car you own and there are going to be loads of posts about it.  And links.  So I thought it fitted in there better.

 

I have not tried to corrupt the thread at all IMO.

I've already seen several posts deleted.  None of them have been mine.

I was trying to offer some constructive advice.

 

Arguably the thread about the M135i should also be moved to the owner's cars section.  As that's just a thread about a car he owns too.

 

But as I said, I am trying to help, I'm not the forum police.
