      PDK/DSG all the same Skoda system. :lol:

      I'd suggest an 8HP75 is a better option than a 7DT45/70/75, but ZF have found punters who believe VAG marketing and will dip into their wallets.

        Race car every time. Never had anything in that league myself but I appreciate the thrill and, I guess, the pose factor.

        Years ago I remember having one of those moments that define one's youth. I had a much older friend who was a bit of a player and, I guess, quite a cool dude. The sort of bloke you'd want to be seen with, put it that way.

        Anyway, one day he turns up at my parent's house in a Matra Simca Bagheera and asks me if I fancy going for a spin. You bet!

        So a quick blast up the Fosseway to the Ciren turn off then back for a pose on the streets of Bath, windows down, Wings blaring out - the epitome of cool. I remember the heads of groups of youths turning and them mouthing the word "BAG-EER-AAH" to one another in awe.

        And then I saw her - the girl from my class that I had the hots for but never had the nads to make a move on - stood right there on the corner of Queens Square and as we were inching forward in the Bath traffic I was going to have my moment. And the timing was perfect - just as we drew level with the engine roaring, McCartney belting out the chorus to Jet, our eyes made contact and she saw me in that car with that mate. I can tell you my stock instantly rose to stratospheric levels and a couple of nights later I mustered up the courage to invite her up the Merry Monk and so began that age defining long, hot summer of love. The one, I might add, that all those poor sods of a similar age these days are currently being denied. But I digress.....

            It used to be a nice motorway before they put bloomin' speed cameras everywhere. Has it been made 'smart' yet?

              There is also the A40, it makes the Lada look reliable and luxurious.

                On a serious note, a mate of mine put his XJ6 into a motorway bridge at a rate of knots a few(a lot of) years ago, he swears the only thing that saved him was the big straight six in front of him.

                  Erm, none between just outside of Bham to M25 - very nice road offpeak in daylight

                    Imagine if he was in 911 or F488

                      Exactly this. I used to head over to it from Leicester to head down to Surrey as it was a better drive.
