All manualized then? That's bloody awesome news. I hate automatics haha.

Great news, Camden GTI does do wonders for the community

[MiKe1_golf]

yep. this is... was the only auto car i've ever bought. i'd been driving for like 5 years before i drove my first automatic.. i didn't know what to do, my mate was in the car.. i had to ask. "do i just put it in D?" haha.

i need to either extend the shifter or find a way to lower the seating position as i have to hunch over to reach the stick!

now i need some extractors and an exhaust

Good work.

I know what you mean about seats and gearstick. Im 6.3 and i got lower seats in car, but im still hunched over to change gears!!
I just have seat forward more, squishy but ohwell

I know right! I drove mine for the first time last week and it felt so little! How sick would a real tall shifter be! Like so the knob is up level with bottom of the steering wheel haha! It would be mint. Like driving a bus! Totally bags that idea!!

I can't stand how low the standard knob is, I had some random wooden one on mine and it worked a treat, lifted it about 1 or 2"s but it was enough.

Just remember that the longer the gear stick, the longer the throw....
