Didn't take any pics, it was horrible and wet today and the white car wasn't looking its best after the run.
It was supposed to be Jackie Stewart that was driving, may be an urban mith... It was crashed over 6 monthds ago..
Local showroom one has DSG with its full on the road price of 33k as it sits in the showroom Guess it had pretty much all optional extra's
^^ probably a demo version with every option going though isn't it? im pretty sure when the mini first came out you could spec them upto 25k or something silly
Not a penny off list price. No discounts to be had on them. However, i have had the price fixed at the 15% VAT rate, and when i orered it was before the price increase to its current price, so i do have a 'discount' over the current price.
I specced up a Mk6 GTI on the Configurator. Frightening how easily it went north of 33k with all the toys...
i took test drives in the normal rocco, one with dsg and one without, without is much much better imo. and if you just put a couple of extras on the GT it soon becomes more expensive than the base spec R, which id rather have, plus i dont think ull lose money on the Rs as they will be in demand particularly when they stop making them.
I hate that Damm ****ty Gearbox thing. Makes an 09 ST Focus feel like a Lotus to drive in my opinion. Give me a stick to row it with please thank you. Other than that the IROC rocks.
Hawco, cos that's where i ordered mine. Looked at a black one today in Glasgow, nice, but black does it no favours. Also saw a Golf R today, Black, again nice, but not the best colour
Have to agree that DSG is crap, jerky and full of reliability problems I need a proper Auto gearbox but VW don't seem to sell them any more, so I won't be buying a new VW in the future
