Age of R Drivers

[shakespeare]

I'm 20 and don't want own an R because by the sounds of it, it's a midlife crisis car!

LOL Midlife Crisis FTW

is that a fact or assumption? facts without correct evidence are assumptions after all (only stirring the pot....)

i see the over 30's have it so far! go the >30's!!

for over 30's

Dad is 74 this year and going strong. And he loves his Golf R!

Congrats to your dad and his R, I hope I'm like that when I get to 74!

So it appears that as of now, 25% of R Drivers on this forum are old farts....including me. Just proves to me what I was thinking...that only a few of us seem to hold onto our youthful passions for high performance cars as we age. Personally I still see myself driving a performance car when I move to a retirement village.

To quote my daughters boy friend on a recent trip out in the Cobra........."I wish my dad drove like this"........My aim is for my future grandchildren to say the same thing...hehe

21 Here. Girlfriend is the bread winner and finances such purchases!

You are the luckiest man in the world.
I hate you. LOL!

Just turned 30. Thought I'd give myself a nice pressie and ordered an R.
Like a lot of the other guys, worked hard (still working hard), mortgage, don't take drugs, don't smoke, hardly don't drink, not many expensive hobbies.
Got my first job at 14 and been saving and investing at an early age.
Parent's both work in factories, so you can rule out the silver spoon.

Life would've been so much easier and simpler had I met a girl at 21 who would buy me a Golf R.

I am 25 and have busted guts through uni and finishing CA accounting qualification. I work 50 hours a week and run an after hours consultancy business as well. The golf R is a self reward and only buy new and lease because it's tax effective. I don't yet own house, but I am ready with deposit to pounce when I find what I am after. I also travel overseas every 2nd year. Like a diet, I believe budgeting should be balanced. I am single and gay. I am sorted and boyfriend ready lol. Takers?

Behind the scenes of this forum is another forum... The gay golf society... The golf r is hugely popular with gay guys... Think about it, compact, stylish, has sex appeal and breathes heavily when you put foot down... Perfect... Check out the guys jumping out of them at your local gym... Gay guys go for convertibles, coupes, compact SUVs or practical hatchbacks... Led lights and subtle beauty make the golf r a great city proposition...

So you are or you aren't a Golf R driver? Didn't you just go around telling everyone that you'd cancelled your Golf R order because VGA decided to release the 77TSI in Australia?

[SilvrFoxX]

All power to you.. but I dont make a habit of checking out guys.. good to see the appeal of the Golf has such a broad demographic and not just cashed up rev heads

[ratedr]

Its still on order... I just like having the occasional hissy fit.

[dave_r]

ROFL!

I always joke with the missus that I'd let her take an indecent proposal if it meant neither of us having to work. Guess it could work both ways (hey there is #5). Now I just need my R to attract a sugar daddy?

Coming to this thread late as ive been away for a week.
Put another tick in the 40-49 range. Ive just turned 46 and am still using mid-life crisis as an excuse for my car choice.
First purchase was a V8 AWD commodore at 40 (lets see who can guess what that was?), I told my wife it was either a Mistress or a fast car. She said buy the car!
It was a relief cause a divorce is bloody expensive.
Next was my current 3MPS.
And I've been in love with Turbos ever since.

I love the look and ride of the R, nothing else came close for the same money.

Now every morning I go down to my garage and scream "I want it now!"

Guys we need more Photos.
So when your cars arrive, please post them so we can drool and make this insufferable wait more bearable.

Drive hard, or drive home.
