Something easy on the eyes to ease into things

I'm learning to drive in a car I bought myself and insured with my first student loan payment.
It is expensive to insure a provisional license in London parking on the street...
Car: £1, 000.00
Insurance: £1, 600 P/A
Tax: £265.00 P/A
Clean MOT set me back addressing all failures and advisories £850.00
I found it online across England and had it shipped to my grandmother's house in Thornton Heath, England from Weston-super-Mare, England with UShip.com for £140.00
My 2001 (51 Reg) Volkswagen Golf Mk3.5 Cabriolet/Cabrio/Erdbeerkörbchen 2.0 petrol/gas 5 speed manual.
(My first car)..

I saw it on my way home from work one day too, recognised it from the above photo from The Mirror (British tabloid).

I wanted to learn stick, so my friend took me out in her golf cabriolet. I think it was the model before this one, but dang, that thing was so much fun! I just got a new car and would've gotten a manual, but I live in LA and... Ya haha. Traffic and manuals do not mix lol.

Yeah, I live in London and traffic can be a nightmare, but London is in the UK and in the UK, in order to gain a full UK driver's license, I must learn stick. It's not like Pennsylvania in the US where you pass in an automatic and then can teach yourself stick; in the UK, you pass in an automatic; you get an automatic license. If I pass driving stick, I get a full UK license and can legally drive stick and automatic.
I remember driving stick in Pennsylvania and I was 17 and most people out there were used to automatics, and I drove an automatic on my first time out when I was 14.

The power roof works.
I'm so glad about that.
Everything works, power roof, AC, everything, I like that.

So do you still say stick or are you getting used to saying manual now?

I was explaining Britain in American.
If I explained Britain in British, I would have said manual and I don't think there's much point in explaining Britain in British because people who speak British are more likely to know about Britain- at any rate, I say manual as I live in London and am from here.
If I immigrated to the US, I could see myself saying stick.

My bad, I thought you were from the US when you mentioned Pennsylvania.

We have the same rules in my country, but then again we were a former British colony.

New Zealand on the other hand has give way rules on the road. I wonder if that is something that is applied in the UK as well.
