I stumbled upon this today, as my girlfriend was wondering why she had to sit in the back, while my FAST got shotgun. She suggested the following: Right between the "Oh Shit" handles by the shifter, my FAST perfectly wedges in the change holder/ashtray. Have him face you and wedge him in there with the lid to the ashtray open. Its perfect. He just sits there and says, "Well DOWNSHIFT ALREADY!" Its the ideal spot.. ESP is still accessible.. doesn't interphere with shifting, etc. Try it out.

I'd do that, but that's where my hackysacks and my change go. Plus, I still don't have my fast yet and probaly never will.

But from that vantage point he can't see out the windows.

Thalo,
Yes but, whenever I put him on my dashboard, the cornering G's practically send him thru said window.

I know what you mean, I used to keep him on the dash but I had enough of him humping my radar detector, so I retired him to a shelf in my bedroom.

So I gotta enroll in the VW Club then call them up and they just send it to you? Don't have to pay for it?

 

[Thalo]

If you bought a GTI you will automatically get a Fast mailed to you wthin 6-8 weeks. You will also receive VW club magazines, I've found.

 

[GTI MKV]

i got a magazine the other day as well. was not too interesting but i got one. hah

 

[CharlieGTI07]

Gee what did I miss...I've had mine for like 4 or 5 months now...not a single magazine or FAST...mine is an 07 if that matters

 

[Thalo]

Well, then you might wanna call your dealer and enquire about it.

Today I will be taking my Fast south down the entire length of the Blue Ridge Parkway / Skyline Drive, from PA to NC respectively. The roads are 100% serpentine and the air is crisp for a turbo to breathe. >

Pics will follow.
But here's what the roads look like
