[Bailey12856]

Im coming!! haha already on the list like....

Drive to Awesome can be done in 2 hours at a steady pace from Middlesbrough like

[wilkymk4]

[au] steady 120 mate??!! [:D]

[amdman]

Nah I'm up here for the next 7 weeks solid, 'cept this coming one when I'll be here - http://www.awesomefest.co.uk/

Shame you lot aren't going down Friday, coulda tagged along for a bit of the journey anyway, I'm not looking forward to the drive down to Leicester, gotta love some V6 MPG...

If there's anything else going on literally any other weekend let me know!

[maxitrol]

 now i wonder if i can convince my g/f to let me out to this[8-)]

[amdman]

TBH it's probably for the best I can't make it... spending time with a few R32s would only lead to me getting disappointed haha.. my car so badly wants to be an R but it's so far from one it's unreal, I had a proper snoop around gti_fly's at inters and had a peak at yours too Lee, I swear everytime I see an R I notice more and more differences between them and the v6 4mo..

Maybe I'll bump into you lot on the Sunday on the way back up North []

 

[wilkymk4]

^^^^ I honestly didnt think they were all that different mate,is the interior trim etc not the same other than the seats?

All the running gear n stuff is the same isnt it?

[amdman]

Haha yeah it's probably just me noticing all the little things as I really want one... They are pretty similar to be fair! Mine's got the walnut trim and non recaro leathers which probably doesn't help the sportiness factor [lol-lol]

Haven't seen a single R since getting up to Newcastle but there seem to be a couple about on here, will have to look harder!

[wilkymk4]

There arnt many mk4s at all mate!

Mk5s are alot more common up here but i could count on one one hand the amount of mk4s ive seen/know of n thats including mine n my mates!

Fair few R reps mind [doh]
