That does sound good. I was tempted by the R at the time but just couldn't justify it.  :evil:

Seat belt??

Ha ha... about 230kph with no ESP or seatbelt - brilliant!

it must be a DSG, mustn't it? otherwise he's filming it with one hand and changing gear with the other...

You sure it's DSG? Gearchange doesn't seem quick/smooth enough for DSG. Any Mk 6 GTI owners with DSG confirm from looking at the MFD???

Don't think it is DSG, the auto box shows D or S next to the numbers i think, depending on whether your in drive or sport, the manual has a gear change indicator too but just shows an arrow pointing up. Suppose it could be the passenger holding the camera?

Think the only indication of suspension setting is on the button behind the gear stick, ie comfort,sport or normal (normal doesn't show anything on the button), i'm sure someone will confirm that though.

He's switched the ESP off? What? Look at the damn road! It's covered with snow and ice. He must be nuts.

Yeah, the ESP just kills the power to prevent the spin, but when your trying to make progress you want it OFF to stop it killing the power, as soon as your wheels find grip and stop spinning you will shoot off, you wouldnt with ESP on.
