I have one with my name on it!
-
I passed my driving test last year at the tender age of 17! had 2/2.5 months worth of lesson. And drove from st albans to home (welwyn garden city) on my first lesson and was faced with traffic lights, roundabouts and T junctions.
Stalling quite a few times. Learnt with the AA and found them very helpful and easy to deal with, even had someone crash into the back of me on a lesson, sufferd some whiplash, and the AA dealt with the claim quickly and efficiently!
But it is all down to the persons confidence and how the instructor explains things, IMHO
-
Thanks for all the help guys.
Going to have a look around and test drive one next week after the long awaited payday!
-
As the title suggests, im thinking about getting one of these.
Does anyone have any views or even own the car?
Thanks in advance
-
I think this is just plain stupid,
Guarantee MP's will still be getting driven about in their jags, using our money to pay for this ofcourse!!
:@ -
Can anyone post up some pictures of their VRS lowerd by around 40mm after its settled?
Thanks in advance!
-
Admitidly I find this very funny (being young and all that)
But still agree it was very dangerous given the road conditions and chance of aqua planing

It was you driving?!

This is not a sales pitch, just want to see what you guys think!
Im looking to sell my W reg metallic blue fabia now, 1.4 mpi classic
its coverd 61600 miles, its about to be serviced and MOTd
It does have some stone chips and scratches on the paintwork, none are major, apart from one on the drivers side front, where someone decided to lean on my car whilest wearing a studded belt:rotz:, but it wouldnt cost much atall to rectify!
Can anyone give me any ideas of what price I should be looking for?
(if anyone is interested then feel free to PM)
If this is in the wrong place, feel free to move the thread!
Many thanks in advance guys!

I've seen loads of Police cars today.
But, then, I do work next to Hatfield Police Station
I did notice the weighbridge next to the A1 at Hatfield was pulling in trucks at lunchtime.

Tried the dirt 2 demo and it put me off. Although the graphics are lovely, the cars seemed to handle as though they had no rear end grip at all. Maybe this was ironed out for the final release, but I don't fancy spending the money to find out.
played the demo last night,
and i couldnt agree anymore!!

Welcome!
Always good to see another young Skoda driver!

TBH, I'd avoid it myself.. when you come to re-sell it the same problems will re surface.. and if the text check is right on the multiple claims point then god knows what's happened to it..
However, if you trust a mechanic friend get them, or the AA / RAC to check it out, if it's always been repaired to top notch standard then might be a bargain.
Ive always been in two mind about buying a cat D car.
mabye il get the AA to check it out. as you said, could be a bargin!

Hi guys,
Ive started looking around for a fabia Vrs,
came across this one on piston heads BOSS PERFORMANCE UK LTD : SKODA FABIA VRS TDI PD 130
Now ive phoned up and the very shy speaking chap said it was on the v car register for having a "paint strip all over" :Yikes:
done a quick mytextcheck and its come back with "RV05RXL has multiple insurance loss records. Most serious being damage cat. D. Loss date 8-4-2009"
can anyone else shed some light on this car/information for me?!
Many thanks in advance!

Ouch, £3,300 over two years!
The joys of being young.
Luckily the job pays enough to save up for these things!

To be honest half your budget is going to go on insurance. Try a group 1 or 2 car rather than a group 9 unless you really want to waste your money, until you are at least 21
my 1.4 mpi cost me £1800 to get insured on last october,
to renew it will cost £1000
to get insured on a vrs will cost £1500,
im happy to pay the extra 500 for a car that i would really like!
-
In that case get a quote anyway....worth a laugh !
Didn't realise you were only 18. :thumbdwn:
just tried,
i got told where to go! haha!
-
I think you'd be surprised, try it out, nothing to lose.
remember im only 18!
going to make a dent in the bank getting insured on a standard VRS
-
Hope everything goes well!
including the sky box:doh:
-
Why?
If you want a properly modified car, for the price of a standard one, save yourself at least 5K ( I say at least, knowing full well how much has been spent on mine, which is a scary amount)
If i was going to buy your one, and do things "properly" with insurance im sure they would just laugh at me. :(
