Actually if you read the advert, the only thing they will do to the car is wash it and vacuum it. The rest (if we are thinking the rubber care stick is a bedroom joy stick) could possibly be a winter check on the **ahem** genital area. 🥴

Yeah, but £10k of it is the full tank of petrol.

Read this topic with interest, so did some Googling and apparently the development team for the Golf Mk8 have been taken into questioning. I’ve included a picture of them.

I’m trail blazing so know I’m gonna take a bit of stick, don’t worry I’m all for light hearted banter. 😉 I’ve always wanted an EV, was fascinated by milk floats as a kid (showing my age), and futuristic electric cars in Encyclopedias (pre internet stuff). Let’s be honest, up until Tesla, the choices of EV’s was pretty rotten, but now they are becoming more mainstream and with plenty of choice and range anxiety is fading. What was my short list? Anything I could get that was under £100 a month on a pcp. 😁 It took about three months of talking to various dealers from a variety of manufacturers before I got what I wanted. Trust me when I say it wasn’t easy, because EV’s are like mobile phones at the moment with newer more advanced models hitting the residuals, which of course can create heavy monthly payments on a pcp. If you haven’t had a drive of an EV, and you get the chance, I think you might be surprised. My 10 year old lad screwed himself up into a ball in the passenger seat when I launched this Corsa in sport mode (yes, it has a sport mode!), it’s only 136bhp, but it’s 136bhp from get go, so feels dangerously quick 0-30mph, then see’s 60mph in just over 7 seconds. Your scared you might like it aren’t you? 🤪😂 😂. Oh and to get this back on topic, I’ve not seen any Golf R pictures with Kent background lately 🤔

Errrr, hello, don’t knock until you’ve tried it! Don’t get me wrong it’s not party party party, but it does have its moments of raised eye brow excitement. On a serious note, if I had to choose between the Mk7 Golf R I had and the Corsa I now own, I would absolutely choose the Corsa EV. Shocking but true. I’m sure I’m gonna get some flack for that but I do still own a Polo Gti+ to appease the need to burn some dead dinosaurs! So hopefully that will dilute my shocking revelation. 😂

I forgot to say what I bought. kinda of scouted around the question but feel I need some Hail Mary on confession. I have sinned. Badly. Now I want promises you won’t laugh. It’s a, Vauxhall. And it’s a Corsa. And it’s a Electric. I know, I know, You don’t have too tell me.....hang on! stop crying with laughter and let me finish.... I wasn’t wearing my glasses and I saw the V and a jumble of other letters on the dealer showroom and thought it was Volkswagen. Not fooling anyone am I? Ah well, I’ve let the Petrol head halo slip and committed brand murder on myself. Still this brown polyester shell suit looks really cool now I’m a Vauxhall owner. 🤐🤓😂 So, not only do I have to make brum brum noises I have to also imagine and squint really hard to make it look like a Golf R. Will I ever be forgiven?🤔

There’s drinkers, then there is drinkers. Sitting waiting for the grapes to grow for a glass of wine is some real dedication. *Hic, Hic* 😂🥳🍷

Lovely colour, and sounds like you are really enjoying the new car! Great pics (and in backgrounds I recognize as I’m a Kent dweller). I do miss the Mk7 I had, and pondered over the Mk8 R for a few days but decided that the world is full of too many muppets now to be comfortable with it on the drive. So I’ve gone all environ”mental” and bought an EV. Ridiculously rapid for what it is, alas though I have to make the brum brum noises my self. Said I was mental. 🤪 Enjoy!!

You have to be a good driver to handle all the power of the Aygo, it goes without saying! Mine is black and white and I’ve nearly convinced my son if you squint really hard you can see the similarities between it and the white Ferrari Testarossa like in Miami Vice. 🤔😂. As for that special car? Erm, no idea. Lol I moved home to a big house in the country (thankfully it has high hedges so no one can see the Aygo on the drive, lol), the big house sucked all my cash, but now I can think about another car as things settle down. I did hanker after something electric but I think that bubble may have burst. I do like a Golf R but I’m struggling with the looks of the Mk8 (says he who drives an Aygo 🤣). So the jury is still out!!!

Hey! Don’t mock us Aygo Drivers!! I’ve gone from a Mk7 Golf R to a five year old Toyota Aygo, (life choices etc etc). It’s dirt cheap motoring! Albeit at a very very very very (did I say very?) much slower pace. I’m holding out for something special to come along, just no idea what that special is yet. 😂

Yes, a bit of a OCD goes along way! It was well cared for and any imperfections rectified promptly. We drove it appropriately and made full use of 300 horses! The decision to dispose of it was hard, and we have a stop gap car (Brand new Polo Gti+) until the time is right to invest again in something “special”. That something “special” is undecided yet. A lot of performance cars still to come to market, so will make take a look next year. So enjoy that Golf R! It’s good to hear you intend to take care of it!

Yep, seriously, it was my wife’s car to be precise. A weekend car. Always kept in a garage. We desperately miss it, but was a head decision rather than heart. Its hopefully going to be short term pain, long term gain.

Enjoy my old car 😉.

Oh you’d love my job then! I get to wash trains through an enormous train wash, it’s like a car wash but supersized! 🚅☔😁

The evidence we needed. 😂
