adey is an unknown quantity at this point
DSC - the literal translation of "touge" is "peak" (as in the peak of a mountain), which is/suggests (as far as I know) mountain driving/hillclimb/twisties/canyon carving.

I am personally a touge slut. Hopelessly addicted to safe, responsible driving @ reasonable speeds on roads where there are very few cars. ...
I got into touge when my cousin first drove me up there in his WRX wagon- man, was I f*cking scared!! When I finally got my car (VW GTi) I thought I'd take it up and see how I fared; unfortunately, nowhere near as well as he. In any case, after driving one or three thousand miles up in the hills in my 1.8T GTi (on stock susp.) I decided that I needed either a) new suspension or b) a new car. <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> &nbsp;
So instead of throwing hundreds of $$ into a lost cause (face it, the GTi simply wasn't meant for touge&#33<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> I invested in a 240 to satisfy my craving... &nbsp;

errr, yeah. Not like any of you needed to know, but that's my touge story!
