Grüezi von der Schweiz!

Well, of a fashion at least, Im English and currently live in Switzerland, picked up my Leon Cupra 300 DSG 4Drive a couple of weeks ago and have spent most of the intervening time trawling the forums, so figured I should maybe take the plunge and say hi!
The Dealer I got mine from had a Desire red ABT Carbon edition, fell in love on the test drive (with the pops bangs and farts, not the colour) so somewhat disappointed with the exhaust on my 2019 GPF model, so gotta wait and see what the tuning companies come up with for it!

Living with my girlfriend, met via Tinder 3 years ago when i came over to visit a mate and go snowboarding.
Getting a job with little to no german was pretty stressful, but have a "part time" job in a petrol station/Workshop, which was enough to get me a B permit for 5 years.

Yeah, bigger firms'll pay for the lessons, (plus relocation packages) but it isn't too bad paying yourself, I get 25chf an hour being a dogsbody in a garage, but you have tax and health insurance etc etc. Trying to pay for my A2 German course, work, and find a better job, plus throwing money at building a house!

Yeah, not sure I'll be able to with being a newbie, but I'll try in a sec.

Its standard, so no stance or anything, swiss regulations are pretty tight, everything has to be declared and approved, and everything is expensive
