Time to say goodbye

[Redpastyboy]

After owning a Scirocco R for the last 6 years I've just traded it in for a BMW M2 competition.

Anyone thinking of buying an R should go for it. The car never let me down and was always a pleasure to drive.

Thanks for all the advice and help I've received whilst being a member. There's a wealth of information here for current and future owners.

Cheers Paul.

It must've been tough letting go, Paul. But I'm sure you'll enjoy your new toy!

If you don't mind me butting in on your thread, I'd like to echo your message. After 7 years of Scirocco ownership, I also will be saying goodbye to my R, to be replaced with a 20-plate VW Arteon.

The R has been everything I hoped and more, and I will be upset to say goodbye. I still don't believe there's any roadgoing car out there that matches the Scirocco for performance, practicality (for its size anyway) and, especially, style.

I hope to keep a close eye on the forum even once my ownership has ceased. Enjoy your cars, everyone, and look after them - they are classics of the future!

You'll come back.
Just wait until you're jonesing for a fun drive. Reving the engine out, flat upshifts until the braking distance is at bare minimum.
My hands are shaking from withdrawal.
