And the annoying thing is you flash them and they just look at you like you're stupid! Should be given a fine and points. Driving without due care and attention!

1 year yesterday.... Hope your still smiling up there dude Gave your Fabia a good wash too...still looking ace RIP

Treat yourself to a Haynes manual, trolley jack, axle stands, and a basic tool kit, torque wrench etc all for christmas........... .........and save yourself lots of worry, stress, etc.......... If you want a job doing properly...............do it yourself........

Found this girl at our local dealers showroom:

Mines made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. Do I win a prize?

I think you should leave it there... too much information Surely all the doggers had gone home well before then?

After 4 years and 80,000 miles i have reacehd the follownig conclusion My remapped VRS is only as quick as the large cloud of black smoke which follows it down the road.

How long till you can give Dom the 10 second car you owe him?

Ok, ginger, glasses, anything. Even if it IS their fault they could still be driven to suicide. But that's ok is it? Bullies have free rein on fat people? I know what it's like to be bullied for no reason perhaps you need a dose. I can't help being white, so why should I suffer the 'positive' discrimination that is around these days? All discrimination is wrong. Equality should be just that. The more difference in race is highlighted like this the longer it will take for people to view everyone as the same.

News Just In : Weather gets colder as winter approaches.

I have a little Satnav It sits there in my car A Satnav is a driver's friend It tells you where you are I have a little Satnav I've had it all my life It's better than the normal ones My Satnav is my wife It gives me full instructions Especially how to drive "It's thirty miles an hour", it says "You're doing thirty five" It tells me when to stop and start And when to use the brake And tells me that it's never ever Safe to overtake It tells me when a light is red And when it goes to green It seems to know instinctively Just when to intervene It lists the vehicles just in front And all those to the rear And taking this into account It specifies my gear. I'm sure no other driver Has so helpful a device For when we leave and lock the car It still gives its advice It fills me up with counselling Each journey's pretty fraught So why don't I exchange it And get a quieter sort? Ah well, you see, it cleans the house, Makes sure I'm properly fed, It washes all my shirts and things And - keeps me warm in bed! Despite all these advantages And my tendency to scoff, I do wish that once in a while I could turn the damned thing off

Happy to have helped Simon. Lovely looking car you've got there. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

Michael Jackson proved otherwise

As above really. You appear to be one of the brainwashed PC type which has caused this situation. I haven't said anywhere I think racism 'doesn't exist' or is acceptable - IF it is serious! Not football players calling each other names on the pitch - they all need to grow up and get a grip. General name calling is not worse just because it is about race. All bullying is bullying. If you'd been properly bullied you WOULD know that. Some types of true racism are worse - the slave trade being a very obvious example. A good 90% of other 'racism' exist also as sexism, fatism (which you suffer from it seems) and other general appearance or background based discrimination. This is the point I'm making and is relevant to the actual post topic - whether making jokes is 'racist'. Also, it tends to be religion that causes war, not race. Except when it came to hitler - he didn't really have a reason, he was just nuts an hated everyone!!

and if it wasnt with daisy then it definetly wasnt with me!!!

To the teenaged double glazing salesman who repeatedly called me "f00king ignorant", for declining his doorstep sales pitch, I'd like to point out the following: if that's the best you can come up with to "push" a sale, then I think your aspirations to be a salesman will be short lived! Might I suggest you consider other employment options; perhaps a call centre? You did however make me laugh when I asked you "have you got a problem?" And you responded "Yes! F00king ignorant" you made me realise you'd simply been talking about yourself all along! Oh and leaving your card made it very easy to identify you to the local CSO & your area manager. Have a nice day!

Here they are

Thanks folks was hoping not to hear that hoped that the lever in the cubbyhole in drivers side made it fall of when pulled lol O well bumper off again Regards Whoosh

It brings the car to life. I've had mines in my car on 7 for roughly a year now. No real issues that aren't out of ordinary for these cars. Just a few misfires here and there. You'll get a slight increase in fuel economy if you dont boot it everywhere, but its hard not too when you feel how much more alive the car is. It, combined with a good induction kit will give you a grin from ear to ear. It's amazing how much it changes the car. There are no real downsides to be honest, installation is quick and it only added £30 to my premium ( 22 yo 2 years driving exp ) Theres a bit about it in my build thread if you want to have a look. I'll answer any questions you might have about it! The only thing is that it's not as "good" as a proper remap to the ECU. The power delivery is a bit clunky when going from a standing start and you wont get full "stage 1" figures like you would from a re-map. A few Bhp's and torques less, but you're saving £150 so its all Pro's and Con's..

Hydrogen is a **** to store in usable quantities. Petrol is better for now. I think we've got a long way to go with hydrocarbon fuels yet but where they come from will change. If you could use 1l of petrol to make 1.1l of petrol even in a 100% efficient system then you could sit back and wait on your Nobel prize followed by your billions since you'd have broken the first law of thermodynamics and if the universe didn't go up in a puff of smoke, Shell, Exxon and Esso will make you disappear in a puff of smoke (allegedly)

I think you're right! "Well I can see ok so I don't need my lights on"

I came very close to decapitating a motor bike rider a few months back, my wide load was correctly marked up with flashing amber beacons, he saw none of it and it was only when he was 'filtering' past me (in heavy traffic) did he finally see the load and markings, braked hard and just about stayed on the bike! Many motorists do not look, at night he would certainly of hit 'me'. As for moving wide loads at night you then have the additional problem of the driver of the wide load not being able to see the load fully due to it being dark, what if he then hits something (building, bridge, road signs, traffic lights etc etc etc)? Think about the knock on effect that will have the following day when the road needs to be partially closed for repairs. Surely the safest way to move anything that's abnormal is when it is daylight, when everyone has maximum visibility available to see the whole load? It's not all about ME ME ME you know, take a step back and see what is being transported, it invariably will be something that will have a direct or indirect on your life: Generator? you will moan if you have a power cut, Farm machinery? moan when the crops cannot be harvested so you food bill goes up. Train carriages? gets more people off the road, making them clearer for YOU. Military vehicles? don't think I need to state the obvious here.

He's no more racist than Richard Pryor was, I think a lot of people are just frightened to find something funny, (or frightened that they do find something funny).

Maybe it will look like this

I wouldn't drink that crap for free, if it's anything like red bull .......

Drive it! And keep OEM IMHO. Stripping for a cage takes away the whole sleeper-ish thing which is the best part of having a fast Skoda.

I hope this dosent offend anyone, PLEASE PLEASE play with the sound off or if on, when you are alone the first time as the language in the commentary is very very strong. Taken from another forum, something we would all like to see happen more often http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=M5dL4DPm-DE

Yeah you can't count Audi A3 world at the Ace!

FOG! Why do people drive with out lights on? Because stupidity is a more common characteristic than even very clever people realise.

Here you go southy, the fabia is 140mm at its widest and the ibiza is 100mm. It is also alot lighter than the fabia item. Also my fabia crash bar is the shorter type as there are two types thats why the ibiza one looks abit longer.

vag com sets it

As for the T<MC, im not a fan, and whilst there are a few guys running them on here now, theres also a few guys who have since swapped to a remap becuase they werent happy with the power delivery etc. If you were to buy one though, you can be 99% guaranteed to be able to sell it on here with no issues as there is a lot of interest from people who dont want to declare mods or lose warranty etc, so its not to bad an investment in that sense

Dont let the comparison website put you off. I have my car insured with everyone of my modifications, and there are alot of mods, for less than what the cheapest quote for a standard vRS was from the compare the market website. YOu just need to go to a focused Insurer. Ive used Adrian flux, Greenlight, Sky insurance etc all have been good. I have just moved away from Admiral who were happy with the car mildly modified with stock turbo etc, but with my current setupo they refused to offer a quotation, so Im currently with Prestige and they have been awesome so far. And they were cheaper with all my new mods than what Admiral quoted my renewal for my old less modified setup I

Well you see fog lights only look cool if other people can see them so if it's foggy what's the point. Makes sense natch!

Wow, different to hear the opposite side of the fog light argument! Can't say I've ever been in fog bad enough to warrant the use of fog lights, in 6 years of driving, covering ~20k miles a year. What does annoy me however is the misuse of fog lights and the brain dead morons who insist on using them in broad daylight, or even slight drizzle etc. But that's another story...

My argument with winters on rear is that you won't get anywhere as the front summers will just spin all the time on ice/snow/slush. So therefore winters on driven wheels. Snow socks are only fitted to driven wheels anyway.

What he said... 256 is the disc size for non vrs fabia. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A5t5_O8hdA

I did that last year and have done in the past on mother car with all-season tyres on front. The only difference on Wednesday I'm fitting 2 brand new summers (Unirayal Rainsprot 2s) on the rear, then have 2 warn (5.5mm tread) winters on front. The winters have been on the rear since Easter. I will have the most tread on the rear (nearly 9mm), but the softer winters on front. If fitting 2 winters I always put them on the driven wheels.

lol and i have a siPad and a siPod nano ha ha. Who also had bravely taken on Welsh_kai_boy's challenge?

Hi and welcome, what will also put a smile on your face that there are still so many out there that have not discovered just how good Skods are.

If no 4x4 then i wont be interested. I simply refuse to buy an suv / 4x4 type of vehicle with 2wd. Goes against my principles.(defender owner) Surley a simple fiat panda 4x4 type of version could be introduced cheapily, that would do. The amount of haldex experience and tech at VAG's disposal makes this descison not to have a 4x4 version daft as they are simply denying them sales. 4x4 maybe the minority choice, who knows, but it totally rules it out for me so thats one customer they have potentally lost. I reaaly liked the idea of the juke untill i discovered i couldnt get a 4x4 version unless i had the expensive top of the range petrol version. Thats why i really like the yeti and especially the duster. The only thing stopping me getting a 4x4 vehicle this time round was that the missus already has a Rav 4 so i couldnt justify two of the same type of vehicle in the household.

I don't drive HGV, but I've been out in an escort wagon, and people apparently can't see us in broad daylight despite dipped headlights (us and load tractor) 4x pulsating amber beacons (us), 4x flashing amber beacons (tractor and load), 12 inch high wasp stripes on the loadbed and black on yellow signs 12 inches high reading "WIDE LOAD" (us and tractor). Exactly what chance do you think we have of being seen in the dark?

I have the 140bhp 2.0tdi. Bought from Skoda UK used stock (9 months, 4000 miles) in February. Absolutely brilliant. Expected the space, comfort, mile-eating cruising. Didn't expect the economy: always 50mpg+ out of town. Usually 55+. Mega boot, clever twindoor. Even 'S' trim isn't bad spec.

Thanks for the guide, Ive just purchased all four from a VW dealer on ebay for £42 all in

Great! So real parents struggling to do the shop with kids in tow have to drive miles to find a space because your brain's randomly labelled all mothers annoying? :wonder: Just because you choose not to have kids, it seems a bit harsh to despise those that do. Why not go all the way and park in the disabled bay to pee off the professional 'blue badge holder' types? What exactly is a professional "I'm a mother" type anyway? I think you're confusing "mothers" with "bell ends", and bell ends can be parents or be childless; male or female; they can be old or young; and a bell end cannot be identified by race, culture, or religion. A bell end will simply make themselves known by their bell-endery. Personally, I never park in the child bays anyway. Too much risk of a wayward, child-driven trolley. I park right next to the trolley shed so I have to crawl out the passenger door. This leaves plenty of space on the other side to avoid the selfish door plebs (these can also be catergorised as bell ends).

90% of the other vrs drivers I see are about 102. Flashing them would just cause them to do something stupid no doubt
