No real point to this thread other that to say I've sat in my new vRS today. It'll be a 09 plate to be picked up next Sunday. Spec is tfsi manual with xenons, rear parking sensors, maxidot, heated seats and autodim/rain sensor/lights assist.

The balero radio looks a nice bit of kit and I'm looking forward to seeing it when it is polished up (currently has body work protection film and spring chocks - sitting in the air at the moment). I'll need to sort out a photo shoot next to my lemon yellow mk I Octy vRS and post some pics. Unlike its predecessor, there are no plans to modify it, less may be a few subtle exterior tweaks.

So for those who have previously had a mk I vRS, is the mk II a more grown up drive?

Nice all sounds good.Please post up some piccies when you get it

Ah, so which car is coming at the end of April then? I've put you down on my sheet as the yellow peril, but maybe now it is going to be the white lightning?

get a pic now of it,something to remember it by in a few years time.

The theory is yellow peril, however, if I can persuade the wife, I'll look at booking an extra stand place and bring both! But keep it as one car for now....

Only extra £8 to bring an additional car (and said driver)

Now get some pics of the white one

Infinately so Lee but you'll draw that conclusion yourself over time, personally I think you'll love it

.......oh and you NEED to map it to get the best out of it

Unlike its predecessor, there are no plans to modify it

That's the good thing about plans Lee, they can be changed

There is currently 20% off of the most important one of those so act quickly

....... which roughly translated from 'gobbledgook' means that your nearest friendly REVO dealer might have a 20% tempter for you

Edit: thats better Mr Stu :P

I'd love a white TSI

so are you keeping both then?

Me too! Me too! I'll drive my new Vrs Tfsi Candy White on next monday... ( I hope...)

Hi,

Not getting a brand new one, but looked at a 57 reg blue TDi at the weekend, managed to get the price to £12,000, does this sound good?

Car has done 8,000 miles?

Good luck with the new one mate!!!!

Very nice! I do love white Octavia vRS!

Enjoy your new car!

so are you keeping both then?

Yep, keeping both of 'em

greedy sod!

Nice one Lee - gonna have to keep an eye out for you, so as to get me first thumbs-up from ya.... LOL

Don't think you'll be too hard to spot either:cool: Bright white-lightning on an 09..... Nice.

Enjoy.....

I hope you enjoy cleaning your car as much as me, I love mine in white, just hard to keep it that way. Mind you it's not as bad as black I dont think. Enjoy the new car! Another member of the white vRS club!

Picking up tomorrow!

First mod will be a Briskoda sticker.

It'll be spending its first week at Heathrow T5 short stay parking though, I'm off to Kenya for a week (no holiday though!)

I hope it will still be there untouched on your return!

I'd have been tempted to pick it up a week or so later rather than leave it in an airport car park.

You'll love it in white - it looks so good when it is clean but it gets dirty quite quickly.

Here's mine http://briskoda.net/octavia-ii/new-vrs-tdi-has-arrived/130839/2/

Very nice! Have you decided if the missus is going to be bringing it to put on stand in April?

Very nice! You did well to find a sunny day! I'm looking forward to my first summer with mine.
