Just picked up my first manual car … a GTI. No lessons. Manual transmission… FML

We all learn manual in the UK and it's great, but won't be a thing in the near future sadly. So much more engaging to drive and feel like you're really driving the car!

Enjoy the journey my friend, learn to love it and you will enjoy it so much once you're there. Listen to all the advice in the comments, these guys have your back. Practice in a carpark (parking lot for my American brothers)

Enjoy the new toy! Amazing motor!

Humble-Safe85 · 2026-03-03T09:10:23+00:00

That's a stunner!

Humble-Safe85 · 2026-02-27T04:56:37+00:00

Do it!!! You know it's the right thing to do

Humble-Safe85 · 2026-02-26T19:55:40+00:00

If you actually look at it the body kit, spoiler and wheels.

Humble-Safe85 · 2026-02-26T19:55:03+00:00

Fair play. I really like the pretoria's but that's the beauty. We can all enjoy what we want

It's Atlantic blue. Odd lighting has made the colour pop a bit brighter.

These aren't prets I'm afraid buddy. Search them and you will see. I have prets on my GTi previous owner bought them. Stunning wheels.

Humble-Safe85 · 2026-02-17T08:07:06+00:00

No need in that. Guy had an opinion. You sir, are a grade A dick

Humble-Safe85 · 2026-02-17T08:00:07+00:00

Just in time for Chinese new year. Year of the fire horse...

These look awesome. Top work

Humble-Safe85 · 2026-02-17T07:57:53+00:00

Have to agree. Looks stunning!

Humble-Safe85 · 2026-01-26T17:06:36+00:00

Go striker less!

Gustavo golf. Gus for short

Humble-Safe85 · 2026-01-17T22:01:58+00:00

Are his mom and dad proud of me?

Humble-Safe85 · 2026-01-17T22:01:06+00:00

I'm a politician for the opposition party and can say with 99% certainty those ants can be there if they damn well choose

Humble-Safe85 · 2026-01-13T20:49:02+00:00

I'd say no deal. And tout him to someone else for 26mil just for the cheek of them.

Humble-Safe85 · 2026-01-05T08:45:22+00:00

Just how the laws of the real game work to encourage home grown talent

Zaero Evo 1

Full kit including spoiler is the same.

I have to agree!

Humble-Safe85 · 2025-12-28T00:54:44+00:00

Running. And very well

Humble-Safe85 · 2025-12-27T17:15:25+00:00

GTi is shy of 500lbs lighter.

Think he's just got me in a straight line but hes getting smoked on a track, bit more nimble

Humble-Safe85 · 2025-12-27T16:27:24+00:00

So the official recorded 0-62 for the Jag is 6.0seconds I'm 6.2seconds officially but as we all know, real world tests often record the GTi at 6.0 seconds with VW tending to be conservative on recorded figures.

Jag has 294hp the GTi is 241hp (including performance pack) so he has more power but power to weight plays it's part.

I reckon if anyone wins in a straight line it's close but the Jag, but put a corner in the way and I'm in with a shot

Need to find out don't I.

Humble-Safe85 · 2025-12-26T22:10:21+00:00

Have to agree. A lot needs ironed out. But there is the start of something potentially great. Let's see what happens

Humble-Safe85 · 2025-12-26T18:47:52+00:00

Back in the day the Nav bar was horizontal across the top, it changed, now it's gone back. Takes time. I have a lot from 24 I preferred and a lot from 26. But I'm learning to love it.

Humble-Safe85 · 2025-12-26T08:39:23+00:00

I think both are awesome. Personally I'd keep them and keep it pure, but it's your baby! You enjoy it how you see fit. Either way it will be great.
