• I may have a bought a Thing. Well a Bug, not a Thing.

  • 2.0 TSi 6-sp manual. 2013, <31k on the clock. Bar some potential surface paint issues (looks like some areas of dried shampoo/product) it's very clean. No signs of body repair (no overspray, all factory decals in place under the boot and bonnet) and the lines are clean. I really don't know why they are not more popular here. My last car before moving here ~20 years ago was a Wolfsburg 1.8T Jetta that I adored. This has the same platform and it feels very familiar behind the wheel.

    Bit of a long term evolution project in mind inspired by classic staggered drag beetles. Nothing lairy, but not stock either. Leaving engine and drive train stock but likely to have a fiddle with the programming - mentally debating ECU chip vs Tuning box. Leaning towards the latter.
