Or u could move out of NSW!! Property prices are off the radar there!!!
I'd love to pull the move my boss made. He transferred to the Gold Coast, whilst retaining his Sydney based package. Given that none of his team (of 140 odd) are based out of the GC, I have to give him credit. He is not a car guy though
Alright, bank and VW have come to the party. I just need to get up to VW (will have to be after training this week!!!) on Friday/Sat and sign on the dotted line. Specs will be:
R32
Pearl (?) black
DSG
sunroof
Not sure on what color interior yet but who cares cause I am bloody excited. From what I was told on Sat, mid July will be the date.

That sounds fantastic rabbitoh!!
What do u mean by interior colour?u mean colour leather seats??
BTW VWGTi or anyone else, are the parking sensors worth the $? Never used them before but I was thinking it might be the way to go for the better half.
I don't have them on my GTI. I wouldn't need them on the back (which is where I think they put them) I wish I had some on the front (down low) to give a sense of how close you are to the "thing" that could mess up the front grille. I find it (still) a little hard to judge the position of the front of the Mk5 golf. The bonnet drops away steeply and in some funny way it almost seems that the front of the car is at the firewall. In my previous cars you could see the end of the bonnet. Not the case in the GTI (R32 would be the same) or maybe I'm just too short!
My front end is still pristine thankfully.

Ahhh......another swayed! Good to see common sense prevailed and the car came first! Now comes the hard part....waiting.
Glad you went for the black. The grill looks fantastic on black and the OEM rims really look the part on the black as well. Black interior real easy to keep clean (1st time I've had a dark interior in years), but the beige looks hot with the black, really classy (although not as racy). Just make sure you talk your dealer into swapping the "wood" for the metal trim. In my opinion the wood looks cheap and nasty.
Oh, by the way, you never tire of that sound. Windows will only be up when its raining and the heated seats do a good job against the cold breeze!

It was funny - training this week and today and we were looking at the Herrmann Brain Dominance instrument and what it said about us. Lets just it told me exactly why I went for the R32 Plus I managed to bring it into the discussion about my results and it turns out the guy sitting next to me is a car nut and to knows all about the R32
Anyhoo, we are going with black, for that very reason (easy to keep clean).
The sound - well I have been on youtube since getting home watching/listening to clips. I am going to take leave in July when she is delivered and get very familiar with her growl

If they can do them for the passenger side I'd be interested.
(Then I could, hopefully, get the rims fixed and they'd stay that way.)
