Wow, that was a big hit! At first I thought it was a simple strike, but to actually spin you round like that. Good to see your ok mate.

BTW, I reckon that'll buff right out!

nothing decided yet...
I like the golf R (and the R32)

Also enjoying driving the rental....a 2009 mini CooperS. The car has beautiful handling, so responsive to steering input. very little body roll. The engine is nice, but torque steer is very evident. Waiting for a wet day to see how it copes with that. Interior is very quirky though.

Nice choice an R32. Ballsy engine and good manners. Heavy for a small car tho. Desireable beast but getting on now.
One of my race pit crew had a pristine example for a long time.
Hes now got an R36. Seriously nice and comfy bit of kit with very gutsy performance and impeccable road manners. I like!

that's why you don't trust a green light.
always make sure there aren't any morons first.

nothing wrong with r32s, just get a low mileage, unmodified example and it will most likely be in better condition and more reliable than your subie

ooh, golf. scrap that......

E,
you can still get Golf R32's new...they were sold up to 2010 in series 5 and thee is just a couple left at the dealers, all DSG though. They were $10,000 more than the Golf R that replaces it though . . .

R36's all DSG, no manuals.

still enjoying the rental Cooper S mini...

New, yer?
Gees, they are getting on now. Still, I like them. Something raw about them. Like the earlier of the WRX's. later ones I dont like but the real early ones....respect!
My crew guy who had it, sold it and eventually got a brand new GTI 1.4 turbo-supercharged thing.
Nice little car, goes very well but.......not as raw.. too refined... I dunno.
its gone in favour of the R36 now.

They first came to Aus as a Golf Mark IV in limited number (200 i think, about 2005) then became a permanent item with the Golf Mark V (2007). Now with the Golf Mark VI its been replaced with the R
