So after five years in the R and 4 in gtiPP before that I have gone back to BMW ! T his is possibly the best forum around so will still keep on it time to time!

Going a slightly different route, keeping the Golf but have an electric steed coming for work 404bhp its quite spritely and a little different and with the golf only being for weekends and road trips should save a few quid !

I’d skip the gran Torino you can’t leave the cortina out!

I think it looks great love the purple, cabin not over the top digital like the MK8 far better interior as well , this the only thing out there I would swop my 7.5R for and cheaper than an 8 R

👍definitely will do having had most there's not a lot out there that appeals at the moment 90% of the time the R is great just that 10% you hanker for a more back to basics drive and the Boxter / Cayman S / along with a clio 197 F1/ are on my something for the weekend list

Absolutely on the lookout for a good Carrera GTS myself to replace the R whic will be cotillion 4 yrs old in March and have also been considering a boxier due to the reasonable price for NC500 and the odd track day!

how was the boxter on the nc500 just me and the lads are doing next year and having driven the inverness to john o groats section before i think this would be way more of involving car to take than the R

No p zeros had winters previously but in my opinion doesn’t really need them winters work so much better on RWD always had them on my BMW but found them to be of no real benefit on the R

HAVE A set of 18,s i run on Road Trips / Winter much better ride than the Prets and nice to be able to switch !

Had my last 3 cars Mapped all pretty much within a month of purchase , have had various minor warranty issues cam sensor leak being one issue covered under warranty never had the map mentioned

Will do, probably next year for that trip May is favoured drove the Inverness to Brora section in 2018 some great roads but not in the R !

A few more pics ! Thanks for for all the replies think I’ll put prets on for summer, Agreed the BBS even on 18’s sit well in the arches, perhaps a proper set of hub centric spacers needed for the prets!

A few more pics !

Thinking of putting the prets back on been running smaller 18’s over the spring put on for the NC500 road trip planned pre lockdown ?
