Living The Dream

Welcome back to wheels, Mumtaz. The last time we saw you was over three years ago (issue 508), and you had a lovely Golf R32 then. Have you still got that feisty Volkswagen? If so, give us an update on it…

Oh yes, absolutely, I still very much have it and there are evenings when there is nothing better than to drive my R32.

The control my VW offers — especially around curvy roads — is truly incredible. I love it.

With a terrific all-wheel drive Haldex system, a snappy DSG and a potent turbocharged four-pot it must still be planting a huge smile on your face...

Sometimes it is a smile and at others it is a cheeky grin! My ‘Bye Bye GTI’ decal still gets attention and adds to the overall fun of driving my car however I must admit that at times, and with a very heavy heart, I have had thoughts of parting with this lovely machine ever since the arrival of my BMW M3. It may be time for someone else to enjoy this beauty!

That’ll be a sad day but speaking of your fabulous E92 M3, it also gets the blood pumping like the Golf. When did you pick this BMW up?

This is the newest in my collection and I picked it up just over a month ago — and what a beautiful beast it is, even if I do say so myself! When I was younger, I always wanted one of these cars and I knew that one day I will get an M3 and so you can imagine how happy I am to realise this dream of mine.
