WoW,

I'm finding it hard to come up with suitable description of how I feel.

Picked up new car at midday.
Sat in it for 20 mins trying to work out all the buttons do.

then i thought Frack it, ill work it out later, drove down the road a bit and started to smile.
i am still smiling!!!!

Wow, so happy with my choice to grab something now.
Do I care that it doesnt have a sunroof?
frack no!
Boy it sounds so much better than i remembered from test drive.

I am using S a lot, so much more fun than D.
I don't care about the fuel atm,
Service manager said not to Baby it, drive it like I intend to right from the start, so am giving it plenty.
Gees it feels so good off the line, and DSG is very smooth, no sign of any hesitation in D mode yet. Touch wood.

I could go on for hours, I feel like a child again with a new toy.





I will try to post some pics over the weekend, I really like the colour, very understated and refined.
Didnt want to get out of it.

Waiting for wife to get home so I can take family out to dinner.
I think we'll take the R.

See you out on the road Gents (and Ladies).
Cant wait to attend some brisbane meets and meet more of the VW fraternity.

Big_Dave.

I hate you.

On a side note, may be picking up a cancelled order in about 3 weeks...

[Big_Dave]

Ideo,
Mate its the way to go.
after speaking to the sales guy today things are going to get much worse.
he intimated that Aus will be getting no production slots in the entire third quarter this year.
Out of a dozen Polo GTI orders at their dealership taken already, only four will get cars this year.

Guys, get em while you can.

Gratz mate! Yep its an awesome feeling the first time you drive it I pretty much try and drive it nearly every day now lol, its too addictive. Having a certain number of lease k's to complete helps as well lol, Gee such a chore to notch up all those extra k's in the R...NOT!

Yeah I use a combo of S and D. Mainly S pulling away at lights or around town unless its really heavy traffic. the lag in D is a bit of a pain at times but once you get used to it its not so bad, it responds pretty well when u get used to the amount of throttle needed to give it a kick to keep up with the flow of traffic. I find its almost a fine art in D trying not to floor it too much sometimes and narrowly missing the back of the car you are following when the R comes on boost, but you will get used to it! My Mrs found that out the other day. She said 'hun when i took off the other day from the lights it felt a bit sluggish in D so I put the foot down and got a fright as I went flying past the car next to me. I swear I felt like a hoon!" As Webber said to Jeremy last time he was on Top Gear about how he was so quick esp through the corners in the reasonably priced car. "Its all about throttle control, mate!" hahaha

Hi All,

I am a new member.
Today, I have signed on the dotted line for a fully optioned rising blue Golf R with black 19" except for the Recaros.
Unlike other members, I was told that the car would arrive in 4 month time from today. The sales person I dealt with today at barloworld VW in fivedock NSW was fantastic.
Although he couldn't guarantee the exact delivery date, he gave me a good deal and more importantly he said to me that it would take about 4 months to get the car which is not too bad at all. He even agreed to get me a loan car if he can't get the car for me within 4 months.
So overall, I was so happy that I just couldn't resist myself from ordering one.

[SilvrFoxX]

One of 2 things is going to happen 1) he has one specced to the exact order coming in so you are in luck 2) get ready to be told that you wont be getting it in 4 months
