FiST is the answer, but Griff nearly bought one. I have only sat in one. Interior is nice, shifter feels good.

Maybe if the new FiST came to the US I'd consider it. I would love an RS though.

Yeah everything looks great in photos. I need to go sit in one and am curious to see what is changed with the 2019 refresh.

Griff did - and almost bought 3 different ones.

Apparently Honderp :dillerman: are :poop:
Oh dang. Gonna go dig through old posts.

What they're doing with the Type R is definitely :poop: and I was hoping it wouldn't be like that for anything else. You should sell for Honda :dillerman:

It's all in here but yeah basically he got the bait and switch fake news pricing from 3 different dealers and gave up.

They're cool cars though. A bit less performance than a GTI, a bit more than a Mazda 3S. Stick only which was probably a dumb call.

I’ve been taking less and less pics of the new GTI.
Ytho
I used to annoy the shit outta my non car friends with my mk6 and mk7 (when it was new) on my old personal ig account. :lolol:

But since I took a lot of pics, why not make a secondary account

No. They offered 12. I'm sure they'll sell it for 15 or whatever.

Bose/moonroof package? Clean :fax: ?
Tech package yes. I thought it had a clean Carfax but I called the cops in a road rage incident in KY a few years ago and somehow it got reported as a accident "slight damage". Found out about that today..... I was a little pissed about that but whatever

Nice car show around Dubai of course. Couple notables - 488 Ferrari and a nice Orange Aston DB11 from Saudi.

:flaccid:

I liked Leblanc, I knew he was done, though.

Reid and Harris had real chemistry, and apparently Reid will only be hosting Extra Gear now. So, it's down to Harris, some cricketer, and a comedian.

We get to play this develop the chemistry game all over again.
