brissy n00b - mk6 jetta tsi
so hows bout those dsg's eh? lol :p
kidding!
so the story goes, ive never been big on vw's let alone euros but after driving a mk6 jetta around hawaii for over a week last year the romance started. my previous car was a 180sx, got it as a project car for circuit racing but like all good projects it never got off the ground and i only ended up driving it once a month so the battery wouldnt die lol. not helped by living within cycling/busstop distance to work or by its gradual deterioration in condition thanks to other drivers and roadworks :S ...and i think somewhere along the line i grew up (a little) lol or maybe i jsut got tired of looking over my shoulder for cops or idiots trying to race me.
but as luck would have it, couple weeks ago some flat brim capped kid put a note on the 180 saying he wanted to buy it sans rwc and rego so it was kind of hard to say no! after a week of
dealing with a kid, it was on a trailer and i was scouring the classifieds for a new ride. thankfully it was a well trodden path for that mid size car with power and space category. wasnt a fan of the new accords, which i swear have started to look like camrys and the libertys were ...subarus :p (nothing against them, it would just mean me having to suck it up for having ripped on my wrx driving mates for so long lol) so a jetta was it and it got a 
from the missus since there was a bit of a sentimental connection for her (if she had her way we'd be getting a micra... cos its blue lol bless her)
the car itself came with 19" talla's, exhaust and chip which is what i was going to do to it. gotta love buying someone elses money pit
tho i think i might ditch the 19s for some rs4 18s. anyone wanna buy some r rims? 
i actually havent been on a car forum since my old tc16 corolla back in the day so im hoping its a bit more of a pleasant experience here than the usual car forum riff raff :p
as said im new to vw's and even more new to new cars, bluetooth that detects your phone? remote boot opening? adjustable headlight height? traction control? what kind of sorcery is this???!! tho i wish it would stop telling me to shift to 6th when im only doing 60kph!
so be warned a bunch of dumb questions will no doubt ensure so apologies in advance!
thats my cool story bro, i'll go scurry off to the jetta section now....
