Forgot to post this when I signed up last week but just in case anyone else is interested

Make your way down to the Volkswagen Freedriving Course at Coquitlam Shopping Centre at the corner of Barnet Highway and Johnson Street on August 19, 20 & 21 for some real driving on our closed-circuit course. Pick your vehicle in the section below and get ready to let loose!

Hmm, got that email too but both of my brother's bought new Vdubs, so I can just drive theirs if I feel like it. After driving a Jetta for 11 years, I prefer my 3. Smiley

I hope they're manuals, I drove a VW Jetta 2.5 with 6AT the other day and hated it... the transmission was unbearably laggy, luckily the manual mode worked well.

Hmmm... maybe I'll drive their GTI so I at least get to try out that DSG. I want a new coffee mug too lol.

BTW I heard that a DSG fluid change costs about $400!!! Can anybody confirm??

I don't see why not, you just need a class 5 drivers licence and be 21 or older...oh and also not smoke what Bob Marley smoked.

FFS Im already legal age, what difference does it make if you're 2 years younger..if I screw something up, I get treated under adult law in either case (whether im 19 or 21..)..but then again I still have an N so I still can't do it... *kicks N sign across the room*

Atleast you're close by if you get rejected. Post back if you get in or don't, since you have an N too..

(Yes im that desperate for a free coffee mug)
