The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

[Rob_R]

Took the new R up to West Head in the sunshine yesterday for some straights and some twistys. This car is a joke, whatever I threw at it corners wise it was just rooted to the ground and the exhaust was amost saying, 'That all you got Langers'

Then found a long stretch of tarmac, turned off ESP , lipped it into Sport and you guessed it Launched. Unbelievable feeling, my god the way it flicks up to 5th in like 4 seconds, and the exhaust! Pins you into your seat. Incredible fun.....

What a bloody laugh.......

Currently getting Opticoated

LS, sounds like you are having a bit fun, lol. I'm finding this car to be different to any I've owned in the past. With all the other cars the fun and excitement wore off quickly and they were then just daily drives. This one is different. Just want to drive it and drive it and drive it......

Yes Ideo. That was us. Good spot. Not even put the watercooled sticker on yet. Freshly opticoated.

Looking good. Looking good indeed. I wasn't in mine but I see a few from the balcony of my place

Thank you...very useful Corey!!
Only question now is parking sensors and driving lights but I am sure it is an unplug and plug in proposition.
thanks again.

Watercooled sticker on now. Don't drive without one I reckon

Actually Baska, you have a MKV Polo!!!
Except they're not called that obviously.
MKI: Typ 86, 1975–81
MKII: Typ 86C, 1981–94
MKIII: Typ 6N, 1994–2002
MKIV: Typ 9N, 2002–05
MKIV facelift: Typ 9N3, 2005–09
MKV: Typ 6R, 2009–

So the "6R" doesn't actually mean sixth generation

Congrats on collecting your car. I drove my mother's (then) 1 week old 77TSI two weeks ago. They're fantastic

Ooops. - you can see how ignorant I am in all these matters. So sorry. But I am learning! ... Not only about the cars themselves, but a whole new "style" of driving. Weird how the turbo affects gear changes. Thanks for clarification.
