Hi guys!

I live in Norway, and have always been quite above average interested in cars. Pushing 40, getting there next year, I am stumbling towards a midlife crisis with steady pace and a grin on my face. Such a situation calls for action, and that is why I ordered my first Skoda two days ago. It is going to be an Octavia vRS diesel with all the props. I really don't think there was any more boxes left to tick... A great way for a man coming of age to stay young at heart! :-)

Coming from something entirely different, the Hyundai Santa Fe, i look forward to the sporty feel of the vRS. And I wonder a bit about how much I will come to miss it's four wheel drive that I offered on the altar of sportiness. In the UK Skoda has a much more (apparantly) "tough" branding than that in Norway where it is marketed as "The sensible choice". The vRS has a byline that actually says "Just 99 percent sensible". Having seen the latest UK video showcasing the "making" of the Fabia vRS I can truly say that I would have loved to see something similar on the Octavia. On Norwegian television it would have made a statement for sure among the everyday dullness of "now with xenon bulbs"....

Anyway. Thank you to all of you for being members. This forum was probably half of the grounds of my decision, and very helpful.

See you around!
