Golf R drive invitaion

Seems I have been invited to test drive the new Golf R. My wife just called me to tell me the some fancy package arrived in the mail today.

What do I do? . . . hmmm . . . . decisions; decisions.

Yip, got my blue box in the mail yesterday...happy times

So that's what the blue box is. I haven't opened mine yet.

So did you guys do anything special to get this blue box invitation thing?

I.e. did you sign up for information on the VWA website?

Just sayin'

I can only think it has to do with the Golf GTI VI track day promotion that I won some time ago. Maybe they got my address from that time or they were impressed with my driving skills!

The blue box includes a letter which says it is inviting current R (as in 32 or 36) drivers to be the first to test the new R and that by informing your local dealer you are in possession of the card you will be bumped to the front of any test drive cue. The box includes a neck string with a laminated card attached that states "we'd like someone who knows the "r" to test drive the latest performance golf" on the reverse side the card reads cheesy "Golf R test driver" and ones name. It's good marketing work from VW but not really useful since I drove the R over a week ago

Maybe they meant to send it out a month ago

What a crock. I just walked in to Solitaire, sat in one and they threw me the keys.

Yes but you're just lucky I didn't pitch up at the same time with my magic card, they would probably have spat on you whilst kicking you out the front door

it's clearly marketing fluff from VW...

Bit disappointing as I thought it was a track day like when the time the GTI was introduced. Not sure what benefit they hope to gain from a casual test drive around the block. Would have been better having the opportunity to throw it around a track.

Maybe they would have let me ride in the boot!

Was it lost in the mail? Most of us had our test drives done before the actual launch date LOL. Quality marketing hehe

I got one as well - it would be probably a better idea for them to drive my "R"

[triode12]

Got one in the mail too - tells me to visit a dealer, no track day - just marketing.
