    Yah... auto is the way to go for city centres ... bonus- no clutch to replace

        Just had the clutch go on my Passat. I'm convinced it's my driveway that killed it - really fiddly to back into so you end up riding the clutch like a bronco.

                Have you got your own photoplotter, or whatever they use these days to produce the artwork?

                Or is it all laser etching now?
