    Few pics taken on a proper camera. I may be biased but I think this is the best colour on an R.

    Yeah same, the blue is the nicest I think.

    They look great in both colours IMO. I'd prefer the grey though partly because I think it looks nicer, but also because it's a bit less common and everyone seems to buy them in blue, so I like the idea of something a little different.

    My thoughts exactly. I had a blue Fiesta ST so opted for the grey on the R.

    Did someone say Blue R!?

    Just a couple of pics with new phone and just fresh from service and inspection.
    Didn't take long for dirt to get a hold though :(

    That’s lovely!! I’m one of those weird people who just don’t like Golfs or Volkswagens much at all, had a go in a Golf R last year and absolutely loved it and now have an appreciation for them. Best colour, the other broadside who has that grey colour is also a savage looking car.

    Yup I would like to spend some money on the house so no point having it tied up in a car - there will be other cars.

    Not strictly my cars but I have had some nice rentals so far this year.

    Audi A6 Avant Quattro 40 TDI. Had this in Italy last week and absolutely fell in love with it. It was incredibly comfortable on the motorway and then came into its own in the twisty, icy mountain passes. Took it for a fairly spirited drive late one night across a mountain pass between two resorts and even a big hulking estate with a diesel engine left me with a smile. I'd never driven a quattro model before, every Audi I've driven prior to this had left me very cold but this thing is excellent. Tech is fantastic with 2x touch screens, handwriting recognition and all very easy to use. Have added one of these to my daily driver wish list. :)

    Ford Mustang EcoBoost Go Faster Stripes. Rented this for 24 hours in Miami simply to have a go in one and see a bit of the city outside of the tourist areas. Got it on Turo for about $80. I was sorely tempted to get a Z06 but had two colleagues so will leave it to the next trip. Full Fat (5.0GT) Mustangs were thin on the ground without adding a lot of cost so settled for cheap thrills with the EcoBoost. Plenty of power (310BHP) even if the soundtrack wasn't great. Interior is pretty cheap feeling but the various driving settings (Drag Strip, Track, Sport+ etc.) were fun to play with and it was very easy to let the back step out. Fun experience but don't think I'd spend my own money on one.

    I'm wfh now for two weeks, where do you think I'm getting the time to post these?!!! :D

    BMW 320D MSport Chris Harris (I think) did a video on his channel a few years ago asking if a 320D was "enough" for anyone. This car, in this spec makes a very good argument. Had it for 72 hours in the UK in crappy weather and it was a lovely place to sit and spend time. The tech available to the driver is fantastic and for devouring motorways it was great. Absolute favorite innovation in this was the windscreen washer jets being integrated into the wipers!! :D:D
    504001.jpg504002.jpg

    BMW 420D Convertible This had all of the older technology on board and the contrast was stark. A convertible with a diesel engine is all sorts of wrong though, no one will ever convince me otherwise. :o
    504003.jpg

    Jaguar F-Pace 2.0 Diesel Looks great on the outside and it's comfortable inside but the engine was gutless and the infotainment system was rubbish. Grand but I'd probably take the alternative 5Series on offer next time.

    Unfortunately. :(

    Funny enough that's the only garage I know of with working trigger locks. Why they get my business every time.

    Joking but he is running a risk if someone does report him for having them.
