Scirocco Central

@wazzsta: I'm in Pretoria. Cool, I didn't know you can track the car as it's being built. @vee: Nope, haven't been to Kyalami recently. I think the MFS only became standard very recently. The demo I drove had the normal steering wheel and the salesperson told me that it was due to it being an older ...

@johnjm: Yeah I'm still not sure if I did the right thing by driving it hard from day 1. I actually read in the manual you shouldn't use more than 2/3 power for the first 1.5k km's.

@jacktherat Thanks man, yeah you won't find me complaining about the weather

Hi everyone! I got my brand-spanking new car yesterday! It's awesome! It's a 2.0 DSG, and the only option on it is the rear PDC. However, I suspect a lot of the optional kit overseas is standard on the South African models. I actually wanted a rising blue metallic with satnav and xenons, but then I ...
