@Stig
Hee hee! Yes, I am not the chunkiest chap around. My upper body isn't bad, as I do a bit of swimming, but I have skinny legs.

@osok/rubberduck - so it's just the clutch that's the weak link then? Makes sense. Now, I've not driven anything like a Ferrari or Viper, but any automatics I have driven (including Porsches), even with steptronic or whatever, have been less satisfying to drive than the manual equivalent.

I'm just a bit of a control freak though.

Another thing. Why does a car with the VAG DSG gearbox return such poor fuel economy compared to the standard manual version, when the DSG is essentially a computer controlled manual, and has no torque converter to waste power?


Edit - this was posted before I saw rubberduck's comprehensive reply above!
