Mini races Skoda Fabia vRS ... Mini loses ... it's a mini adventure

http://gear.viper007bond.com/

For all your top gear & 5th gear torrents.

You usually find this site takes up to a couple of weeks for the latest ones to come out but it does get updated, class torrent source, quality of vids is good too

I've obviously missed out somewhere, but what is a torrent file? I'm assuming its a video format, but what do I need to play it with?

Just checked out your comments on Mini2, Like your thinking.

I do have 1 question tho , Do you swing both ways in these forums ?

( Waits for rude comments now ! )

I hope that Skoda have made note of the comments from the Furby owners here, and the press comments about the suspension and brakes. Maybe the facelift in 18 around months will address this. ( like the lack of rear wiper on the original Octy ).

BTW

Why did we never see any of this type of comaprison when the Octy vRS was released ? ( runs for cover )

a torrent file is for use with a bit torrent client... this is a type of file sharing, similar to kazza and things like that although it works slightly differently.

I've removed the video clip links in the 1st post, if you would like the clip, send me a PM and I'll email a low quality 3MB version.

Does anyone have any vids of the octavia vrs?

Would like to see them. Maybe up against the Golf GTI or A3

I don't know of any comparison with those two...one I remember was against a Seat and an MG. And being Driven they did attempt to do an all-round test rather than just taking it on track...

Rob.

Driven on channel4 did a comparison between the MG ZS and the Octy vRS and something else when they first came out in 2001. The octy came 2nd for one reason only, the badge.

I dont really rate driven that much, they seem to talk more rubbish than most of them lol

Whereas Top Gear is so much more informative and so much less about the presenters' egos?! :confused:

Rob.

At the end of the day you can't beat "evo" or other car mags.

Driven used to be good when they actually talked about cars and did the Driven 100's. However, in the end it all got diluted and replaced by silliness like Car Sumo. :confused: 5th Gear is quite good though

Driven when it first start with Jason plato was very good. Did indeed test the cars. In the end I stopped watching driven. Not seen 5th gear in a while as well. Think one of the main reasons I watch top gear is the fact its funny when they take the **** out of each other.

I think you hit the nail on the head there!! Top gear is the best not for it's indepth information but just for the fact that it is good entertainment

...and entertained is what we want to be on a Sunday night. It is also useful that SWMBO likes it to!

..and I think they actually have a good take on cars - they are all up to moving you around the country, its all the other stuff that counts...
