When your wheels are stuck on your car. Copper grease ftw

When you pass another fabia vrs and your just staring at each others cars.

the groaning back brakes wake all the bloody street up after reversing off the drive !!!!

when in suburbia you have a foot-to-floor moment in third gear, take the revs all the way up to by the redline, then glance at the speedo and go 'fuuuuuuu-u---u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u------' and lift off.

you're almost pleased when your turbo blows so you have to convince SWMBO a hybrid is only a few £££ more

owning 1 set of wheels just ain't enough.....

... When you change front tyres as often as you brim the tank.

... When, after giving it some, the MPG actually goes up for the next couple of weeks.

... When you go to clean the exhaust and remember that bit in the middle isn't meant to be black.

... When that 30 zone becomes NSL.

... When you've got loads of stuff to move and it all fits in.

...when people say "your car sounds broken" but really, you've just fitted a SMF

... when a mate on facebook whos just bought a fiesta zetec s (and thinks its the dogs danglies) comments "i will never under estimate a skoda anymore"

when no matter what breaks on the car, no matter how many problems it has, you still love it to pieces lol

Hate to post twice in a row but,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Had both cars and,,,, trust me when I say 'His is a pile of ****' compared to a mk1 vrs

...you'd rather drive to the pub than have a skinful!

When you close the door and it doesn't sound just like a golf.

^^^ Hahahahaha... win.

You know you own a MK1 Fabia vRS when ...... you dont, you own a Ibiza PD130 which is the same car and has all the exact same issues!!

You get a spare part from the dealers (a rear light lens in this case)and laugh loudly when you see all the other badges on the box and you just know they would pay a lot more for the same part !!!!

Totally agree, i also had a fiesta before my Vrs and i would never look back now.

When you buy lowering springs one week and coilovers the next.

...when leather is an expensive pipe dream (unless of course your car is blue in which case :p)

You know you own a Fabia vrs when your low on fuel, low on washer jet fluid, have a bulb out, and it's cold outside and your dashboard looks an sounds like a christmas tree with musical fairy lights!

When you've had to change both of your front wheel bearings
