Trying to decide whether to keep it or sell it on to someone who would get a lot more use out of it.
I honestly would say give it a good try out and then put a review in the review section before selling it. The only other monitor I'm aware of is RaceLogic which is what Hurdy had.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Yeah thats my mates car, completely standard at the moment, 3 runs all the same time of 5.87 secs! I was the one sat in his passenger seat for most of the day! The engine seems to have loosened up very nicely now, its just clicked over 12k miles! :happy2:

i'd guess that u were the only car to have the advantage of an semi auto box with launch control  :wink:

so not quite a "fair" win but as Vin Diesel would say, winning's winning!  :happy2:

Would like to see how you'd do on in a manual car tho!!

If someone is willing to lend me a manual Ed30 i'd be more than happy to have a go.. The changes obviously help a bit (although I can be pretty handy with a stick  :laugh:), but the launch control is no advantage whatsoever..  :sad1:

Ha ha knew I should of had a go!!  :wink:

At the end of the day yesterday I was thinking exactly the same. Would have been interesting to see a comparison between the cars!

Well done on the result though! There were far too many Vauxhalls, Fords and the like there yesterday. There was a distinct lack of VW!
