kgibo Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Hey, im a long time lurker but have finally got myself an R and loving it. Had a mk7.5 gti (230hp) before, really good car but was always frustrated with the will it/won't it grip when conditions weren't perfect pulling out of a junction quickly. Loving the fact i can put all the power down on the road now and over all its just a better package. Was looking for a while until I found the one i wanted... Prets DCC Pan-roof Dyn-audio Will upload some pics once i can figure it out without a URL 😅 meandmyself777 and WobblyR 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugs2206 Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Welcome to the club. I had a similar experience coming from a 7.5 GTI to an R. Heck of a difference eh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booth11 Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Hi Kris and welcome to VWROC! Congratulations on the move to an R, and hope you find it a great successor to your 7.5 GTI. Sounds like it’s got some nice options too. For photo posting, you could try uploading photos using this site https://postimages.org which lots of people use. Once you’ve uploaded your photos, copy and paste the ‘hotlink for forums’ url into to your forum post. Once you have 25 posts you can directly upload pics from your devices using the ‘choose files’ link. Look forward to seeing the photos and I hope you enjoy the forum as well as the R!
