So good to see you back mate
Nice to see you again welcome back
Thanks mate, I hope you are well. I've got at least one more video coming on the Golf R. What are you driving these days?
@@jaykay7932 Ha yes a new car this year its another SUV and another Tiguan and another DSG diesel but its its the 200bhp and 300 ft-lbs of torque. Not quite this Tiguan R but good enough for me

very nice cars! im going to have to drive one soon and see what I think!
Great to have you back Jay. Since i started watching your videos 2 years ago I have gotten myself a lapiz blue golf R on silver prets. I am like you, i like to keep my car fairly OEM and classic, I did get a stage 1 custom map and i have to say it made the car so much more fun. Still, Shame we dont have 99 ron over here in Ireland :(
Hi mate, im glad to hear you got yourself an R. Smashing car! I sold mine last summer for a pretty penny but do sometimes miss being part of that club. Especially on motorways when i see other Audis and high spec VW's. I actually filmed the day the car was sold and taken away so when i get chance that will be uploaded.
I actually regret not trying any of the maps now as quite a few people have said nothing but good things about them. Some even claim better MPG as well
@@jaykay7932 great to hear from you. You had it from new for many years so no doubt it might’ve been time for a change I can’t blame you! Would love to see the video. Whoever bought it has gotten themselves a very well minded car, not many mk7s around in the condition yours was in. Looking forward to seeing what you’ve got to replace it 👍🏼
i've not replaced it with anything super sexy yet. Just my old type R back on the road. Ive just bought myself a tidy little detached house so once the dust settles on the house move i'll start eying up the next toy. I'd love a Ferrari 360 or 430 next
good to see you back jay kay,on the petrol front, today is the 8th oct I managed to get some momentum at Tesco and its gone up to 142.9 this week due to the fuel crisis, the shell is currently 144.9 at my local .this is the first time in 15 days Tesco has had a delivery of the 99 ron fuel....im sure i heard you say you paid 1.28 for momentum ...not seen it at that price for about a year around here ....well done to you m8 if you paid that.
Hi mate, thanks good to be back! This video was filmed before the covid show - November 2020 to be exact.142.9 is excellent price for high oc fuel, i just filled up BP regular in my Type R and it was 138.9. I was desperate for fuel as well got caught out with this shite fuel crisis
Hi Jay just been watching your tips and tricks videos absolutely brilliant Thanks you so much just wondering what fuel you would recommend Shell 99 or Esso supreme or texaco do a 99 octane keep up the great work thank you very much
Regards Tristan
Thanks mate! I used to fill up with tesco momentum and found that to be sound. Its a lot cheaper than shells vpower as well but ive got shares in Shell so would prefer you get the vpower XD
Good to see you again mate. Hopefully we see a bit more of you. You keep going AWOL 😂
I know mate, ive got at least one more video ready to load up, its just getting the time to do it. Im in the bollocks trap of trying to buy a house at the moment so having the thrill of being gazzumpted. Hopefully il sink my teeth into some serious motoring for the channel!Glad to see youre still following me too and i hope youre holding up well
I’m very well thanks mate. Just put an order in for the RS4 Avant. I’ve got the RS5 but could do with the practicality. I’m probably in for a long wait though, the way things are. Once the weather gets colder I start gaming again. Are you still playing COD etc?
Have you test driven the RS4? It looks a beautiful motor but ive read mediocre reviews on it. If you can afford the RS6 that seems to be the king of the estates! Actually I've just installed COD MW again on my PS5 and ive started playing Apex Legends again. Ive not played for a long time though because ive been busy sorting a lot of things out and now trying to buy a house! Are you an playstation bod or xboxer?
Yes I’ve driven the RS4 and RS6. It’s not worth the extra money in my opinion, it doesn’t feel any better, just bigger. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great car, but it didn’t make me feel like I thought it would to be honest. I game on PC mate. Most games are cross platform now anyway so if you ever fancy a game sometime?
Interesting that you say that. It does look a nice motor as I say. Yeah alright sounds good. What do you like playing, warzone? I'll need sometime to get into COD again, tried playing against veteran bots and my best game was 1kd lol
Hi Jay. What’s your opinion on the GR Yaris?
your the second person to ask this, as of yet i ahvent got one as ive had my eye off the car game for a while during the pandemic. I know i swear by Toyota so will have to get into this car and give my feedback on it
Only just seen this video mate, as I thought you’d finished TH-cam as it’s been a long time. When is the next video coming out? Cheers.
not sure mate as im back in thailand now driving an old honda city. I am tempted to lease a couple f suvs for a day and do a video on them in some thai off road scenarios
@@jaykay7932 nice mate, what car are you thinking of getting next? I take it the Golf R is long gone now?
i lost a lot of money during the pandemic so cars arent even on my radar at the moment mate, just getting my ducks in a row for retirement now or trying to.
If i were to buy a car id probably be looking at BMW as they seem to be among the best cars now.
Yes I sold the Golf R when car prices went mental, so it worked out ok for me, i had a nice car for 6 years and only lost 5k on it!
@@jaykay7932 fair play mate, you done well on the golf then. if you were looking at BMWs I would recommend you take a look at an Alpina as they are a much nicer alternative to a “normal” BMW and a lot rarer👍
Hello mate how’s things? Been a while since an upload just checking all is well
Hi mate I thought I'd replied to you! Im well health wise however financially ive taken a knock since the "pandemic" started. Ive had a huge pay cut too so been busy fire fighting trying to make more money freelancing. I've been back in thailand again where i have an apartment now but currently back int UK until mid feb where i'll go back. I'll start ding youtube vids again once i get some sort of direction with my career and earnings as its eratic at the moment! How are you doing? What car are you driving now?
@@jaykay7932 good to hear you’re in good health mate, and yeah the pandemic didn’t do any favours sorry to hear that. A lot has happened in the last 6-7 years hasnt it you have been in Thailand regularly? It’s like paradise over there mate, where abouts in Thailand do you go and do you enjoy it there? Also I heard from comments of your previous videos you actually sold the Golf R, was this when cars started to sky rocket in value as I can imagine yours with low mileage and showroom condition would fetch a few quid. I’m doing well jay thanks for asking I’ve recently got a mortgage in July 2022, and I was doing a lot of motorway mileage over the past couple of years so I’m driving a 2017 Mercedes E220d AMG Line Premium. Perfect car for hammering down the motorway every day around 57mpg. However i get a works van soon which I will be using day to day to get around so I’ve been looking at getting something as a toy for my days off. Not quite sure what as of yet though.
Sounds like you're doing well for yourself mate well done!! I am spending quite a lot of time in Thailand, I flew out last August and came back NYE day. Now planning on going back on the 15th if I don't get a new job soon.
The city I live in is Hua Hin which is about 4 hours from Bangkok airport. ITS a great lifestyle, cheap enough to eat out everyday, lovely weather, some amazing cars where I live as its full of rich europeans.
I'll get my act together and start filming for the channel as there are some really interesting roads there. A popular car over there is the Ford pick up truck. You see a few ford raptors as well! However cars are not cheap to buy there now.
What sort of toy are you looking for? I wish i could afford a new toy but for now i still have my honda type r and my toyota. Answering your question about my R i managed to get a little over £23,000 for it. Not bad when before COVID it was valued at £18,500. I tried selling private but got stupid offers so in the end used a dealer service
@@jaykay7932 that sounds great mate glad you’re enjoying life out there, I went a few years ago and we hired a Hilux which was brand new at the time and all I seen was Toyota 4x4s on the road.
Yes I’d love to see you upload some vids again as been here since the start. You got a good price for your Golf R what a credit to whoever got that car it was basically showroom condition. Where did it go if you don’t mind me asking? Also are you not working in software no more? You were with that company a lot of years werent you?
As for a toy mate I’m thinking Golf R DSG to be honest. Been watching you on TH-cam 7 years and still never got my hands on one
Interesing where in Thailand were you?
Yeah showroom still smelt brand new. I forget the name of the dealer but i recall them being based in plymouth. It took a while for them to sell it but they sold it in the end for 26k. Its on private plates now so isnt coming on up DVLA records.
Im still a dev for the same company but have been given a 40% paycut. The pandemic killed my trailer business off as well, the trailer i had to sell before it started to rot. Hopefully things are on the up now though.
I wouldnt mind having a golf R again hopefully i can afford one before the R400 comes out (if it ever comes). Now i have a property in Thailand though its hard to justify spending that amount of money for me.
If i were you id forget about cars and smash that mortgage down a bit, just get yourself a nice R if you ever get a good bonus or make a bit of good profit from an investment
Miss you Jay :)
What’s the mileage on your golf r now? I reckon it was worth abit after lockdown when the market when mad.
I sold my R last summer after being made an offer too good to refuse
@@jaykay7932 Yes mate, have you replaced it with something else?
not yet. I got my old type R back on the road. I wont bother looking for a new car until prices come back down to earth. Good time to sell but bad time to buy!!
can you test drive a GR Yaris?
i could try, but im not in the market to buy one so it would be a bit bad wasting the dealers time
I can’t stand it when idiots put my life at risk, just for the sake of overtaking me.
Can we have update Jay kay ? Tnx
Hi mate I'll try to do a update ASAP. Just in the middle of some changes at the moment
Def better car than the golf 8
1.28 per litre…….please bring those days back
when i was 19 it was 68p a litre
@@jaykay7932 wowww
i know! and the rise from 68p to 80p was just as shocking at the time, protests and everything. Get used to this price as it will probably keep going up long term, particularly as they want us to go gween. It's nothing to do with ukraine neither its the great reset imo
@@jaykay7932 ow yeahh 100% not buying this is down to Ukraine they keep squeezing people year by year its sad really. If petrol prizes were cheap I would be buying a golf r ryt now. Only think putting ne off atm
