    Golf R drive invitaion

    Seems I have been invited to test drive the new Golf R. My wife just called me to tell me the some fancy package arrived in the mail today.

    What do I do? . . . hmmm . . . . decisions; decisions.

    So did you guys do anything special to get this blue box invitation thing?

    I.e. did you sign up for information on the VWA website?

    I can only think it has to do with the Golf GTI VI track day promotion that I won some time ago. Maybe they got my address from that time or they were impressed with my driving skills!

    The blue box includes a letter which says it is inviting current R (as in 32 or 36) drivers to be the first to test the new R and that by informing your local dealer you are in possession of the card you will be bumped to the front of any test drive cue. The box includes a neck string with a laminated card attached that states "we'd like someone who knows the "r" to test drive the latest performance golf" on the reverse side the card reads cheesy "Golf R test driver" and ones name. It's good marketing work from VW but not really useful since I drove the R over a week ago

    What a crock. I just walked in to Solitaire, sat in one and they threw me the keys.

    Yes but you're just lucky I didn't pitch up at the same time with my magic card, they would probably have spat on you whilst kicking you out the front door

    it's clearly marketing fluff from VW...
