Lad I've been working with the last 5 years took a call today and it was his 19 year old son telling him he'd won a 2016 vw golf and 2 grand!! Lovely looking car (white).

Is he the lad from Meath all over what’s app with the car now in 5000 pieces?

Are there new duties / tarrifs for UK imports in Jan to the south in Jan and will it impact on these UK draws?

How much extra will have to be paid ?

Possibly VAT to be added.
But most silk just take the cash alternative then.

At least he has €2k to put towards rebuilding that wall!

Another R Kings winner ( and Loser )

Cahir Gardai observed a vehicle fishtailing conducting a dangerous manoeuvre outside the town in front of one of our patrol cars. The driver was subsequently arrested on suspicion of Dangerous Driving and has been charged to court

Was it a Golf R to begin with? It didn't look like one. A savage smash either way :eek:

And the 3 others that were in the car with him. Clown.

Alright I'm gonna say it, letting youngfellas win high performance motors is a recepie for disaster, these lottery style competition companies need to be more responsible. There's a reason it costs a fortune to insure a youngfella on a corsa/micra/fiesta - it's because their brains are full of rocks. You may as well be raffling off a shotgun.

That’s some crash and damage, they much have been going seriously fast. Luck to be alive.

It's an rkings diesel golf. Probably around 200bhp, it didn't crash doing the speed limit. The engine landed a whole garden away.

No just the standard 1.6 diesel with about half that. I get it if they were driving a Golf R or something like but I don’t think you can blame R Kings for a bunch of young lads driving like idiots.

How do you know that?

I remember the particular competition as it was recently. I was going to enter as they said it was a Golf R but then changed it to a R line TDi.
Perhaps it had 130bhp or whatever and I understand the point about not giving young lads fast cars and was just pointing out that I really don’t think this was the case here.

frozenfrozen · 22-11-2020 09:51PM

Sneaky if that's what they did because it still says golf r on the winners page if I'm looking at the right one

GustavoFring · 22-11-2020 09:57PM

Screen grab doing the rounds says Golf R too.

Extremely HIGh powered golf..... Well no not really but the insurance and journalists thinks so

maddness · 22-11-2020 10:00PM

Seriously lads, it’s no Golf R. How would a kid get insurance on a real R?

frozenfrozen · 22-11-2020 10:02PM

Which is this an r or r line

Depends on what their parents do for a living.

https://www.rkingscompetitions.com/winners?page=2

According to their site it was a golf R, its the 3rd on listed on page two of the winners list

No, it was a golf R.

Some middle aged lad won the white tdi golf r-line.

That’s a bog standard diesel golf with upgraded wheels.

Have a look at the picture of the crashed car, it’s not a Golf R.
If you believe different that’s fine.

frozenfrozen · 22-11-2020 10:11PM

The brakes look tiny in that pic but I dont know anything about golfs. I'd believe its just a normal r line based on that

Murt102 · 22-11-2020 10:12PM

Definitely a standard Golf (well, R-Line spec).

Dont the mk7.5 Golf R’s have the fog lights built into the headlights? Fairly sure I can see them in the bumper in the above picture.

punisher5112 · 22-11-2020 10:23PM

Golf R is totally different and stand out a mile.....
