DSG is Swahili for automatic too lazy to shift it myself! did you also know that DSG is Mongolian for Short arms and I can't reach the gear lever!

Isn't DSG German for "my car accelerates and changes gear faster than your manual equivalents"?  :rolleyes:

Sounds like a case of  "Gearbox envy" to me lol!  :wink:

I do like a bit of banter, and i must say that i have not driven a DSG equiped car.  something that is on the list.  But at the mo, I will have to "slum" it in my 6 Stick shift as they say.

I'm a bit self conscious about my short arms (girls don't like it, bullied at school, discriminated against at Job interviews), I did look at having surgery to extend them to enable me to change gear on a stick shifter but when I spec'd up the options on a GTI, it worked out cheaper to get DSG   :grin:

The only good point about having short arms is I can never get at my wallet in the pub...I have deep pockets... :grin:

DSG Rocks - End of!
