selling it and putting the money towards a house :( probably buy a cheap diesel and run that for a year or 2...i hate growing up

personaly i'd be making the case for keeping the larger car for when you get the new house (diy stuff etc) and howmuch it'll cost you to change etc.

my vrs wagon IS my sensible car now that i'm meant to have grown up

Before!!

When it was new, I took a drive and took some photos.

Today it had its first bath in about 15,000km.

So, after!!

Funny enough , I'm doing exactly the opposite. Trying to sort out the car , before i buy the house. As i know from my friends, once the house comes all the funds divert into the house. Which is o.k. But Keep the car , raise the suspension a little ( to give the appearence of being a practical load carrier ) and have you cake and eat it. The next time you might be able to afford something like this again , it could be on the new MBQ platform , something to look forward to. Only switch to a diesel if you you do mega miles or the government follow the rest of europe and make diesel cheaper than petrol.

May be not you want to hear , but this tunning bug will stay with you regardless, sorry to say you're hooked. LOL , join the club.

^^^^^^^ wow! i like! a bit of tyre stretch going on too!

Edited 7 October, 201213 yr by Booble

225/35-19 on 10" is quite stretched yes And I do need the stretch

Have you had it 4wa your camber looks way out, never noticed on your other wheels, looks good though

The rear camber is maxed out, to get the wheels to fit. It is quite tight with 10x19 ET37 on Octavia I had about 3degrees with the other wheels, now its somewhere around 4,5degrees

Your tyres wont last very long but as you have about 5 sets of wheels a year that does not matter

Camber isnt so bad, yes it does wear on the inside, but I have used the other wheels more or less 3 summers and now the inner 4-5cm of the tyres are almost illegal, but then I just swap left and right tyre, so the inside goes out, and they are ready to go for atleast 2 more summers

And a pic to stay on topic

A VRS for your first car!? Jeez, mine was a hand me down D Reg Hyundai Pony. It broke down regularly!

I'm not quite sure what you're on, but I'd like to bet they are illegal

Yep first one. Was waiting since I was 18 to get my own car but never had need for it as I always had company car available to me. At last now I was able to justify my own car. I thought I may as well treat myself to something what I always wanted.
