This weeks Auto express ( 29 Sept - 5 Oct )has an article called " Chip Shop ".

Octy vRS is the one of the top 5 chipped cars.

QUOTE from Page 61

If you want the ultimate Q-car, the Octavia vRS is a great option.Its fast in standard trim, but a chip can boost it as far as 225bhp.

No 1 = VW Golf 1.9TDI

No 2 = Audi TT 180

No 3 = Focus 1.8

No 4 = Astra 2.2

No 5 = Octavia vRS

It seems I'm not the only one that can't get lists in the right sequence...1.9TDi golf is a good bet mind.

Wonder if that would be similar to a certain SDI

The fabia comfort 1.9tdi is better yet.....

Very true Andy...

even better with driving school sign on top

Now where talking But have to take off sooooooooooo quick that if the smoke screen does not obscure the name on the roof board then need to make it so small in the distance that it cant be read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WTF, Focus 1.8???? They only get about 10-12 bhp increase, hardly qualifies it as a Q-Car. Dont agree on the TT either. Octy vRS is a much better Q car than either of those, as is the Furby.

I would have had Ibiza TDI Sport on there though, a chipped one is seriously quick and it looks like a 1.2

Paul,

The list wasn't written purely for Q cars...

I think they've tried to be representative (all things to all people)

1. Golf TDI (usual suspects)

2. Audi TT 180 (has to be chipped 'cos 180 Quattro drivers will almost certainly have an inferiority complex)

3. Focus 1.8 (I know it's naturally aspirated but the Bluefin chips are v popular in the modified press and don't forget that many Foci are falling below the magical

just read it... loks fair to me

heh, the best Qcar is one nobody thinks of, good to see the secret is still safe

My favourite Q car is a Morris Minor in Bedford...

It's fitted with a 5.0 litre TVR engine!

Surely the ultimate Q car (well - Skoda, anyway) must be a non-vRS Octavia 1.8T which has been chipped? Just think - no badges, spoilers, or big wheels to give the game away, but BHP in the same range as a chipped vRS....

A "1.4" badge might help, too. The icing on the cake would be fake "steel" wheel trims to hide the alloys

The icing on the cake would surely be deleting a pedal Mike ? (weight saving???)
