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.

Never fear, you're doing it the right way by sounds of it. Be out to blow the cob webs off before you know it. Roads have been a different place of late, I drive for a living so am all over the place throughout and its been so different (in a flamin good way from my daily point of view). Been a terrible spate of bikers being killed on the roads here sadly though, on the face of it so far all SMIDSY and even a hit and run last week 😞 Take it handy when you do get back out, some folk (in cars) have taken the absolute biscuit with quieter roads and need to wise up. I'm like that with fuel anyway, I got another car this day last week and hadn't filled the other 2 since Feb! My commute is so short it normally takes 2 months running cars a week about to need to fill both at once. I emptied the Mk1 Octy into the newer one there as it's time with me is nearing the end and it's off the road now, sad times!

WOW didn't know Wales had such a radius restriction 😬 I went back and forth across NI today and there were more bikers than cagers on the roads, was an awesome sight tbh Saw a big group or more likely 3 or 4 groups parked in a filling station on way back spread out nicely taking up the entire place to keep distance. 👌 We haven't had any positive cases let alone hospital admissions in my area for some weeks now. We were about a week behind Belfast at the start of lockdown and Belfast was about a week behind GB and 2/3 weeks behind London. Seems to have had a very strong effect with a lockdown at an earlier stage so to speak. Hope all is calming down your way and be back out and exploring again shortly. 🤞

I need to have a clear out at some point too. Ask the boss if she wants 14 wheels with tyres that are taking up valuable real estate in the shed and a Mk1 Octavia 1.9TDi with 76K miles that they will mostly fit into. 🙃

I saw a near identical Triumph broken down at the side of the road this afternoon when at work and it made me think perhaps you were over, but I doubt it at moment.

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.
