Hello fellow members.

I'm new here, and I was invited by Steve (macdaddy) to join the site.
Few words about myself:
I'm 26 Polish and I live in ROI. I used to drive jazz blue 2001 mk4 golf, but only until I saw a .:R32 on holidays in Spain last year. 2 months later I was on the plane to the Uk to pick up my new car and I love it

. She is 2003 pearl blue beast

.There are only 2 or 3 mk4 .:R32's in Ireland, and I'm a proud owner of mine. I made couple of changes to the car -vw sat/nav, hdd player,flapper mod with the switch, cupra lip, carbonio, cruise control and I have few other things planned on the way:151:. I'm also a member in ukmkivs.net and vagdrivers.net.
Anyway, I hope that I will be able to pick few other ideas that I can use for my car here and I can share mine too.

All the best,
Stan

Hi Neal,

I'm probably wrong, but afaik there is more Mk5 R32's than Mk4

.The problem here lays in the VRT (Vehicle Registration Tax). I had to pay 5500 Euro for mine,but it was worth every cent

The VRT is a killer, and it's very strange how they calculate the overall tax. I know a fella who had a silver R and he paid over 6k for the VRT with little bit over 65.000m on the clock. Mine had much smaller mileage and I paid less.Weird:011:
