The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

Hi All,

Well after an agonising and painfully slow 3 month wait, many of us has had to endure I know.
I very gratefully acquired my new MY11 Golf R this week.

Black / 5 Door / DSG / SatNav / MDI / Bluetooth / Leather

It's so much better than i could have expected, even the multiple test drives did little to prepare me for it.
The feeling of that first solo untamed drive is awesome!!

To quote MadWorm in an earlier post it genuinely is a the most comfortable and effortless drive.

I too have plans for a few mods that'll need to pass through the "Powers that be"

I'll take some nice pics and post em in the weeks to come.

I know I shouldn't complain, others are waiting, ....and have had to wait a lot longer than I did.

Regardless of the time frame though, the end result is totally worth it, I'm sure we'll all agree.....

Hey Ryan,

Know exactly how you feel mate, the anticipation kept me awake too!

I'm just up the road from the Goldie, so feel free to message me if your keen for a cruise anytime.... I' looking for any excuse for a drive.

Out of curiosity which dealership did you order your R through, if you don't mind me asking.

hey, for sure when i get it ill be up for some adventurous driving through a nice scenic road! ..

I purchased it from Gold Coast VW at Southport.. who sourced it from Norris at Kedron.. (it got dropped off at Kedron so thats where it currently is but still hasnt had the pre-delievery done so its getting done at Gold Coast on Wednesday apparently.. was very lucky to get a my12 with no wait! We were getting a GTI, but it was further delayed.. so i went in and said find me a R..and bingo..the exact car we wanted! .. just a base R with black 19's in manual with mdi/bluetooth.. its all we need! not a bad car for a 22yr old! im hoping it is as good a drive as my 07 STI was! I priced up replacement tyres today..it has Dunlop Sport maxx GT's on it.. $700 a corner..ouch!
