So one of the guys from work has just picked up his 05 plate Octavia vRS in Black Magic. He got a great price from one of the supermarkets in Glasgow and even got parking sensors chucked in. It was cool to see both our cars outside the office today amongst all the Mondeos and Focii (plural of Focus ?) Problem is, I know I should be happy, but I'm not, 'cause his is brand new and all nice and shiny and mine's racked up 54,000 miles and dozens of stone chips and scratches !

Still, he's well chuffed with the car, another convert and another good result for the Dark Side. He's been lurking about here for a few weeks so he might even say Hi at some point.

Buy yourself a new one

Just say, "this is what your's will be like soon"

and for a while, revel in the fact he's got to be gentle with his while it's being run in.
