He's Addicted to Saving R32s | Owner Spotlight

[@chmullins]

Just listening to someone talk so passionately about mk5's is refreshing. There are literally dozens of just mk5 lovers, and we will be accepted!

[@jensapensa]

we are honestly superior

[@Mk5.maniac]

Fr I'm gonnakeep buying these cars my whole life lol

[@jensapensa]

@@Mk5.maniac u got a fahrenheit brudda??!!?-?-!

[@Mk5.maniac]

@@jensapensa sadly sold It, I’ve still got the mk5 r32 tho and I just got rotiform RSE’s for it

[@MikelDog]

Edition 30 owner here, total build cost is £5k running 380hp 430ftlbs. Have a vr6 3.2 in a mk2 gti hard to beat that sound

[@mikesvirtualgarage9917]

I like this guy. Honest about putting in the work and attempting to get results. Calling dealerships with part numbers! That alone made me smile. Also being honest about the glam about running a business like this. Much respect and as always, amazing video!

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

Wookie noises first thing in the morning 😍

[@promisedprince6201]

Love it

[@sletourneau3]

The best ❤

[@Mk5.maniac]

I was just at a meet with my r32 this weekend and some girls found out it was auto and immediately thought it was disgusting and worthless, but people like you make me happy about the car❤️

[@josephkelly4893]

A well sorted DSG is a better box than the manual, three pedal snobs are just that

[@thenoodle7171]

I bought an r32 a few weeks ago and told one of my friends. When I told her it was an automatic she lost all interest. Crazy

[@Mk5.maniac]

@@thenoodle7171 I just got mine back from cali, 4k trip, not the first time, I’m at 197k, this thing is trooping no lights on the dash, I’ve never owned a car this solid it’s gone through everything with me it feels like

[@half_r_mk5]

That's why I love my MK5 GTI. Not an R32 but still an MK5. It's got a Swapped MK6 Golf R engine, has the CTS Big Turbo FSI kit with Precision 5858 turbo, RS4 Injectors, Torqbyte PM4, TT-RS LPFP, Snow Perf Stage 2 W/M, kit and custom tuned, and Southbend Stage 3 daily clutch, other mods done to it. It's the garage king. Not driven often. But once I drive it, just bring smiles to the face

[@SonOfTamriel]

Of all the R32's in this vid, lined up, and in various shots. The Mk4 is the best! Hands down.

[@cottiepharaohs7161]

So that’s where all the Thunderbunny kits went 😂. Amazing builds!

[@mbriggs717]

Fantastic video and showcase. Thunder bunny….swoon!! 🐰♥️ Makes me want to go for some zoomies and tweak my R32 even more now!!

[@PLr1c3r]

I would get flamed a lot back in '16 for that DSG take but it's true. I don't need a clutch to prove my manliness.

[@reeceandersonnn]

Happy to see the 8p lurking throughout the video 👍

[@UnkleShief]

facts happy to see that as well

[@jamerican1]

I love mine lol

[@diydrivenGA]

GA is probably the best state for a VW enthusiast. Tons of expert shops, events, and like-minded people. Add to that the great YT content creators like DAP and HM. Wish I had picked up the R32 I saw with under 100k for 10k around 2020, but glad I got my MK7.

[@u4ia420]

Even the old stuff. Air Cooled Technologies in Cleveland does some amazing work.

[@rad2k7]

Don't forget the VW/German fests in Helen, GA!

[@jacksh993]

disagree with the front bumper Pov. but love that you're loving the R32s...

[@Vic-ot7bm]

Agreed, I love the front Bumper

[@racerpoet]

Very cool to see this! Big thumbs up! As a HUGE MKV guy myself, I really like seeing this. I don't like the Thunder Bunny front bumper at all and totally agree with it being brittle, but I can appreciate the passion for sure. I like seeing the lines on a car flow and the Thunder Bunny front bumper needs the whole kit in my opinion. The side skirts and rear are beautiful, and flow nicely with the ED30 lip for the Jetta/GTI bumpers. That's what I'll be doing on my Fahrenheit. I totally agree with the passion/magic part. This has encouraged me to get back to my MKV projects.

[@tommdschohns8718]

I have a mk5 R32 and i love the original bumper. The thunder bunny front end looks horrendous and out of place.

[@themacjunkie]

Same here, well I don’t think the TB bumper looks that bad but it looks a bit odd. I do love the OEM bumper on my CW MKV R. The overall look of all those Rs in the video is awesome though.

[@thenoodle7171]

I just wish the middle of the bumper wasn’t chrome and was painted

[@joshkoepsell]

When I was shopping for my TDI Cup in 2010, it was DSG only. It always felt like the perfect pairing to me and I’ve had ZERO regrets with my choice. 13+ years later, and I still have that car (with the TB body kit, of course).

[@dusanmatic6259]

If you ever lose your mind and end up wanting to sell that bumper let me know haha

[@tbix1963]

Great video, always and still want an R32 for my own. Love and miss the VR6 that I once owned. Greatest sounding engine I have ever had the pleasure to own. Great to see people out there keeping them alive.

[@Petrospect]

The noises. Wow.

[@ArmChairKoalaBare]

as an owner , it truly never gets old. i have a magnaflow exhaust and i thought about starting a channel for just the noises alone lol

[@sebastianlorenzo4935]

you have not missed with these Owner spotlight video's. This is awesome content

[@roccoracer]

This dude is awesome. I just picked up a 2004 Audi TT 3.2 for my fun driver. I also have a scirocco 16v for shows and occasional autoX.

[@scottday2939]

Love this. Incredible builds. Love the Thunder Bunny Bumpers.

[@brianjensen6350]

I thought I was weird! I'm 45 years old, wanted a air cooled Porsche 911 since I was 5. Was close to buying a 911 about 7 years ago before prices sky rocketed and now drive a R32 and love it. Hoping to one day get the 911 but needing an R32 still in my life, it puts a smile on my face everytime I drive it.

[@dynamiik-4168]

Nothing will top the looks, the beauty and the sound of a mk4 r32, one day i will own one, i have a 20th anniversary 6 speed gti tuned and a 2.0 as a daily, i plan to swap in a 2.8 vr6 24v on it sometime in the future

[@RileyPowersports]

That dark blue/green on MkV on bronze wheels is a great looking car. Great video DAP and great spotlight of a shop that seems to be doing solid work!

[@EddieRicks-i8v]

Mk2 tt 3.2 manual is my favorite 😍

[@tomthompson7400]

some great cars ,, but this guy has a perfect attitude . That Audi is still the show stealer though ...

[@selloutlabel]

I wondered where all the thunderbunny bumpers went i forgot about them being on tdi cups and dieselgate

[@aidenperry7616]

They all got crushed by the people who traded their cars in.

[@DjDubUk]

SPENCER (Top Stitch)is the man! Did my interior on my mk2 Scirocco,,I need an r32 soooo bad!

[@GrizzlyGarage]

This guy should really look into reproducing the thunder bunny bumper, would be game changer for all mk5s

[@Fatlace24]

Sometimes, you don’t want to have the same things of everybody. And let’s be honest, if someone reproduce them, everybody will want them.

[@petrol88]

With 3D scanners getting down in price where sad bois can afford them, it’s only a matter of time

[@theadmiral4625]

With the bumpers he found he could’ve cast a mold already and had them made with a quality material 💪😭💪💸💸💸

[@deckstare]

I got a mk5 R a few months ago. it's super rough cosmetically, 140k miles drives great. would love to have mine looking like one of these

[@Thezerostatus]

Known Bryson for years! He is good people and has stay true to the scene for years! He is definitely an OG for the VW guys! Love this!

[@Diabolotherium]

lovely sounding cars. Wish my mk6 sounded remotely close to that.

[@Photosbydrew]

We would get along. Love everything you've done. The shop, the builds, the cars.

[@damo5701]

Went so very close to purchasing mkV R32 in 2006, went the GTI instead for ease of tunning and price, had it for 16 years (stage 2+ for the last 11). Love the R32 though, that engine & exhaust noise even in standard configuration was one of the best going round.

[@BuzzzdLightyear]

That blue Mk4 is insane

[@kevinvandorst]

I prefer the stock MK5 bumper over that Thunder Bunny all day. MKV in black, all stock just with the milltek exhaust is perfection.

Wow in Ga, and the Porsches i saw at the 4WD meet. Is it possible to see some of the R's sometime? Always been my dream car and had a r32 swapped 2003 GLI but the ECU died and i was left high and dry

[@josephkelly4893]

Those cayennes setup for proper off roading are quite an intriguing proposition. They sell at the Auctions where I live (Australia) for a few thousand, might look at building one and see if there is any interest

[@robm5958]

Definitely don't agree with the front bumper comment. Ugly is the only word I'd use to describe it. Still appreciate your passion. I own a k04 mk6 GTI and mk6 R both, but really thinking of adding an mk4 R32 to the stable in the near future.

Can you build/make or get the mold to make the Thunder Bunny front bumper? I bet you would have a lot of MK5 R32 customers. Had an MK4 R32 but lost her to a flood in NYC in 2012 😢
