BTW, shouldn't it have an Alpine stereo in it?
Actually, I have had this conversation endlessly with a car fanatic mate of mine, we have similar cars, his with 7-speed paddle change dual clutch, mine is 6 speed manual. He tries to insult me, claiming I'm 'old school'. This fails to insult me because I consider myself to be 'old school' with respect to cars. How old school? My last car was Australian! (I quite like my record player too) It's a personal preference thing, some of the newer double clutch gearboxes are stunningly good and I have no issues with folk who like them, or automatics, or diesels, or going by bus, it's just not something I'd want myself.
As for the Alpine stereo joke, it gets a smiley from me!
This is completely off topic but who cares. An Australian car? Question number one: What car? Question number two: Why? Only bogans drive Australian cars and you don't strike me as a bogan.
