Howie-WP's TR R32 .....

**HOWIE-WP** · 02-23-2012 04:55 PM

As stated in the faces thread:

My name is Howard Daniels, from Cape Town South Africa

Picked up my TR R32 from the dealer today.

This is me looking all

driving her for the first this evening

Was so excited, I forgot to take pics of the car under wraps at the dealer, this was the car in the showroom:

In case I forget

Need to get used to the instruments, coming from a Mk4 GTi:

This is my baby

Side on:

Will get better pics this weekend. Loving the .:R

Planning to get personalised plate (vanity plate in the US) Wookie-WP (the WP stands for Western Province in SA)

only 2-doors.

**zevion** · 02-23-2012 05:03 PM

Thanks

As sixteen10 (who is also from SA) has mentioned, we only get the 4 door in SA and we ALL lust for a 2 door here is SA, rather than the 4 door.

Funny how that works. We only got the R32 in 2 door.

Are humans just programmed to want what we can't have? (Like Charlize Theron

)

O.P - Welcome!

**Dps148** · 02-23-2012 10:36 PM

Welcome

and I want one of those gauge clusters

**sixteen10** · 02-24-2012 01:09 AM

Congrats again Howard.

She is a stunner , TR works so well on the R32!!
I hope you have many trouble free kilometres with her!

**gottaluvvw** · 02-24-2012 06:24 AM

welcome and great looking .:R !

if you ever come to the US, please trade for my 2 door TR .:R

the 4 door doesn't look bad and it's certainly more functional

by the way, why are you sitting on the wrong side

must be because you're below the equator

i would love to have one of those backwards 4 door TR .:R's

**afunnysmell** · 02-24-2012 06:48 AM

Love it!

**DuB Ben** · 02-24-2012 08:51 AM

Welcome! Sweet ride you got there. You will love driving her.
Side note.............. I am form SA too reside in NOVA.

**HOWIE-WP** · 02-24-2012 08:53 AM

Holla

at all the South Africans on the board.

And thanks guys, loving the R32.

I have applied for my new personalised / vanity plate

must be the 4 doors that we (or at least me) are drooling over...making everything look better

**DuB Ben** · 02-26-2012 07:19 PM

Dude! Table mountain looks awesome! Your .:R is looking

**HOWIE-WP** · 03-07-2012 02:04 PM

It's about time this thread had an update

**HOWIE-WP** · 03-20-2012 03:08 PM

Did some consultation work at a client in Cape Town CBD, this was the view from the parking lot, so decided to park so that Wookie-WP can admire Table Mountain.
