You're obsessed with the damn gear change on your GTI!!
Just get a DSG already :laugh:

Guilty as charged Your Honour :laugh:

I bought a manual to enjoy changing gears so a bit of fiddling keeps me out of trouble and may improve the driving experience :smiley:




I was taught to double-declutch on hill climbs and still find myself doing it sometimes.
The youger generation sometimes ask what I had just done, which is easy, telling them why is harder.

Looks fantastic... I was a bit worried there was a huge scratch until I realised it was the reflection of a telephone cable - phew!

I discovered by chance that my keyless car can be unlocked and the engine can be started even though my key is in a faraday bag!!
I put the key in a metal tin and it still opens and starts the car :shocked:
Anyone else had this issue ?

Interesting: I was concerned after picking up my new ar with KSS, so tested it with faraday bag right up to standing beside the door and no entry possible. Haven't left spare in car have you: a mate at work had and got worried etc until he realised  :laugh:

No, the spare is in another faraday bag in my safe.
I've checked these bags since I've had them and they have done their job perfectly until now.
I don't understand how they can just stop being effective.
I'll try a quavers bag later and see if that works :smiley:

Got both my keys in separate bags and still can't open my car standing right next to it. What bags did you buy?
