I kept promising Dave (Fatty) I would put something together in the way of a buying guide so here it is. If you could sticky this, and if anyone can think of more bits to add we'll edit it and update it.
I haven't bothered putting in much info about the specs and history of the Mk1 vRS as I think one of the other sticky threads has that.
