well the roc is a year old today with 20,500 miles now racked and its sat outside in need of a clean and some tlc given it is most definately used, i remember going armed with a copy of Performance Car (ironic given mine was featured a few months ago) saying i want it in that colour (rising blue) back in July 2008.
its a car i have a definate love/hate relationship with and strangley seems to attract even more attention now than it did a year ago
we'll see if Stage 2 in late November will kerb my urge to order the Golf R for a while, however, the last fuel days have ignited by urge for K04 power
Its funny I was thinking about the Scirocco the other day and I have to admit I do miss it, in all respects it was a very good looking car, its handling was just a bit iffy at best but it was a pretty good all rounder.
I think it is a car that should have been restricted to being a sports car i.e the 2.0 ltr Tsi only and maybe some R and GTi variants on top of that would probably have made it a bit more special, but its about making money and Tdi's are in demand.
Not a dig at Tdi owners, but the amount of 1.4 and Tdi's I see at least 3 or 4 a day I remember if you were lucky to see 1 scirocco a month
Car is now Sold!!!!! BMW 7 Series for now as nice and big but holding out for something a little special as my toy
Mine was a year old on Friday, no problems apart from the rattling wipers but just turn the stereo up now....................15k a few small stone chips but still looks and goes great!!
Actually to add to this I have since bought a Porsche Boxster 'S' (Pimp my Box) to replace our Z4 Coupe so now I dont have a practical car to pass the 'move a washing machine' test what do you think I should get, I had a R32 but though my Mk 5 GTi was a better value car and really turned me on to VW ownership. Mk6 GTi??

Love the Mk VI Gti was very tempted by one myself , but I am in love with the R32's sound and grin factor also the 4 wheel drive was very good and gave the golf bag loads of grip, If you can get a nice Mk V R32 I'd go for that.
I am persoanlly holding fire at the moment as I really dont know what to buy, I keep changing my mind like the wind changes direction. But 100% guranteed when I eventually make up my mind I will not be modifying it at all!

real mk6 GTI fan, especially the carbon grey colour, but go easy on the shopping list and avoid the acc, just a bit slow for my tastes given they run out of puff at 5,000rpm like the roc so Ed30/Pirelli gets my vote, indeed a call has been made regarding a black 3 door..... again
Mine is about the same as yours. Registered september last year. 20,500k miles I also have a love/hate relationship with the car. Think she is going to go soon to be honest. Fun has faded.

well had a conversation with a dealer and it sure is a good time to sell, he just needs to sharpen his act a bit when i come back from holiday in a few weeks to see if deal can be done

My main reason is the 24k a year I am now doing in it. Need a diesel
bmw 123d coupe msport (they are a grower) or the alpina 3 series with that engine
