Wardy's Octavia vRS

ROFL - just as well really, I've spent enough money as it is at Awesome within the last year

Time to spread the load a little; I'll go and get them from JKM instead :P

Anyway Pete, was that you down there ordering some KWs for yours?? :rubchin:

[WaveyDavey]

Looking very well Steve..... I'll hopefully get to see it in the flesh at one of the RR days at Awesome.

Cheers

Dave.

[Wardy]

Cheers Dave. Yes, I'm at the RR next month and the National Meet too

Was reduced to three inflated tyres this weekend. I think nails shouldn't live on the highway personally and belong in walls or old Nescafe jars :(

Offside rear got hit, so a replacement F1 GSD-3 is now on its way. It's friend on the nearside still has 5mm+ so seemed to be the most straightforward resolution.

Ho hum

Steve

[vRS Carl]

That means the offside rear will grip more so you will be OK going round Right handers

But you will have to lower your speed by 1.347796122222222(recurring) mph to take a Lefter of the same severity :D

Thanks for the calcs. Appreciated

[Wardy]

Fitted a Bolero earlier

Very nice bit of kit it is too, pleased with it. 16Gb SDHC on its way, which should take care of musical needs. 6CD in-dash with MP3 disc support is handy too.

I took some phone camera photos but they're not great as it was pretty dark. Will take some when I'm at Awesome tomorrow.

Oh, and full track info on Maxidot is ace. That was a nice surprise

Cheers,

Steve

[Damo]

Nice one Steve

Stereo upgrade is high on my agenda, so tell me...

What made you go for the Bolero over the Colombus? Mainly price?

Looking forward to the pics

Cheers

[Wardy]

Price was a pretty big factor yeah, but also the fact that I already have a TomTom with proper mounting and use that when I need to. It's also handy to have nav that can move with me - I can think of quite a few occasions when that's come in handy. So I'd be paying quite a bit more for features on the Columbus that I wouldn't fully make use of.

Forgot to take photos of it earlier, but I'll sort some out, hopefully tomorrow.

[Wardy]

Yeah, I'm minded to agree on the Awesome ones. Just updated the post above; found an eBay seller of such things

Steve

[Babs]

Ideal!

[pete8tch]

Steve

think the others are more of a match to the dials on the bolero tho mate , more intergrated

[Wardy]

Might order some from that eBay seller then. The surround for the mirror control looks quite good too.

Steve

[Babs]
