FUBAR

Just stumbled across this thread and I've just fitted a similar one in my Mk3 Octy and ordered on aliexpress specs etc as ordered 4gb/64gb octacore etc etc there are hundreds of sellers with different brands against the same unit form factors with varying internals and software set ups on there. But mine was £162 delivered and has been fantastic so far, the same seller here of mine has all other models etc so might be worth seeing one someone has used before. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000642821453.html

I love the virtual cockpit !!!

Another little one

hahahahaha I am nowhere near that dedicated! I am sticking with my bottom of bottom spec stereo and coding the number plate lights is about the limit of my VCDS comfort zone.

Right, four of a kind for the Green Machine today having remembered with about 0.15 of a mile to go and a parking space on left that was long enough to roll into and it to tick over just at end of it. First pic, then after a short wait....

I have found a new form of odo porn to post in my OCD thread 🙌 https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/266450-11111-11111-the-show-us-your-odo-thread-now-12345-6789-brisky-tree-odo-fun/

Briskoda Tree Odo porn is now acceptable in this thread, we will be at 2222 before long 🤘 https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/482615-offsetting-briskodas-environmental-impact-or-planting-trees-for-posts

Oh hell no, no gold! Black with green only!

That would defeat my debadging campaign

That sounds defeatist, I refuse sir!

I got the notification, it took me to your reply I then scrolled up in the fear that it would be a Dragon Skin Green Superb 280 Sportline... The relief is awesome. I'm still happy with my Rallye Green weasel though, best combi colour in Mk3 IMO. wheels booked in to get refurbed in a months time (long waiting list at moment here 😞 )

First minor one in the Mk3, trip reset to try for 44444 - 444.4

Mine unintentionally turned into another car 😞 still have the old one so 3 lying around the house at moment 😞 Want a Mk1 Octy or a Nice wee Fiesta 😛

Don't end up like me 😞 get a little something just to have and tinker with.

Got the MPG playing ball too 🤘

Mk2 Octy vRS PFL/FL I am a race blue metallic fan and anthracite as a close second, never liked Rallye Green all that much on them, didn't suit the very flat sided shape to me. Mk3 specifically in combi I really do like the Rallye Green a lot.

I have the same pic with N1 FUB on it saved off the DVLA site over 5 years ago and finally took the plunge. You have to follow suit now, just tell the boss someone on the internet told you to!

In Mk3's I preferred the combi and after my Race Blue's I was displeased at the colour being farmed out before the vRS was even released to all specs, it lost it's signature status to me that way and it's so common now it's unreal, not like it used to be. Rallye Green I really like so it's a win win, passed on a couple of Tippex ones as I couldn't bring myself to do it. This one came up at a great price with low miles so had to be done before the local traders scooped it up and bumped price way up.

I have been after a Dragon Skin Green Superb Sportline 280 hatch for some time and found 'the one' in deepest southernist England, then COVID happened and I had to wait and finally missed it. With all the uncertainty around work at moment, I decided to play it safe and went for something that would cope with a longer commute if I have to find a new job and cost a hell of a lot less..... So ater 2 years without a vRS (bus till a Skoda), vRS No.5 has been acquired.

Continuing on from the first thread as it's a bit bloated with regards to kindness to the forum, it can continue on here now As Colin suggested we should really make the most of having our own part of the forum and can start a new thread for anything like some of our long running successful other ones we have already. The old thread continued into this one can still be where we just shoot the breeze, we used it as if it were a section of the forum all in it's own with dozens of topics along the way.

On this night, year of our Skoda 2013, at 1900 CET. Behold the odometer porn! That is all!!! ***EDIT*** This is not the picture I posted originally, someone suggested I should edit it to show BIG speed to see how long before a troll appeared condemning it, hence the when you look at it twice dodgy looking '2' as it was a '2' off another pic from the 1/2 mark on fuel gauge. This did put my MS Paint skills to the test I might add! But since no one decided to bite I might as well show the original pic I posted lol. ps. Well done all for no one being a fuss pot!
