Those are reps. The current owner you mention in the first post is not the one who did all the work to make it into the car it is

Just a pity it's an SDi really.

I don't understand the mentality of spending £1000's of pounds trying to turn a base model into a VRS look a likie. Why not spend the same money to get a VRS or a proper sports car to begin with?

He did such a good job with that - gorgeous car!

No - I think he swapped it (literally) for a Corrado a year or two ago

I wonder if the new owners done anything else more to it?!

You sound an awful lot like my dad...

My car is currently fecked, looks like it needs a new ECU and he was saying that a standard, basic, cheap car will do the job of going from A to B every bit as well, if not slightly better at times, than a modified one.

This is undoubtedly true, but to hell with it, I enjoy it! Everything from researching bits and bobs here and elsewhere, ordering new parts or collecting them from random folk I'd never have the pleasure of meeting otherwise, fitting them, seeing/feeling the difference...

Besides, everyone's circumstances are different. At the time I got my car (18 y/o), I could never afford to buy or insure anything better. No doubt that the money I've put into the car since then could have got me something newer or 'better' now or by the time I turn 21, but I really like the car, it still serves my needs perfectly and, dare I say it, looks pretty damn good, getting favourable comments even from non-Skoda and non-car folk!

Well, it does when it works anyway...2 years of faultless reliability, then it breaks good and proper. But that could easily happen with ANY car... :S

Not having a go at you, I just don't like the way people feel like they have to justify themselves or their choices just because they don't initially follow the herd or the 'common sense' approach. We're all different and the world's a more interesting place for that
