I'll probably go, as I live a massive 1/2 mile from it haha. -
Hey guys, I know that over on 106owners.co.uk (I was a regional leader when I had a 106) they've got a rolling road meet going on, maybe you could hit that as well? I'll be going regardless

Yeah had to fiddle with the insurance a little to make it happen before I turned 22, but I'm paying £400 a year less on this than on my old Peugeot 306 1.8. Mad!

Hello, I'm Matt, I'm nearly 22 and I've just bought my first performance car, a lovely 2003 Skoda Octavia vRS Quick car history: First car: 1998 106 1.4 XR - from this LINK to this LINK 2nd: 1993 106 1.4 XSi - LINK 3rd: 2001 306 1.8 Cabriolet - LINK And now onto my 4th (1st non-french) car Skoda Octavia vRS in Corrida Red Extras: Climate control, cruise control Also came taxed and tested, with full Skoda service history. It's a joy to drive, massive compared to a my old cars, but so comfortable, refined and fast. Anyway here's some pictures: Plans? Well not much, the interior and most of the exterior is mint. It's plenty fast enough for the time being too. So... - vRS floor mats - Bonnet respray (previous owner has pen'd the bonnet chips) - New bonnet and boot badges - New wheel centre caps Comments and suggestions welcome Matt
