Great post and pictures. Both cars look stunning.

Thanks for the comments chaps - both cars are truly amazing in each special way.

If you look at post #4 or so I put thoughts about which I prefer and which is better dare I say it

Boss Fox is right about the MK1 being an unusual hot hatch, but it worked! Skoda should have offered the 2.0 TDI with Manual as well as the 1.4 TSI DSG in the new vRS. However I believe it has something to do with the chassis and no space for a diesel.

In the MK3 vRS i'd expect to see the 1.6T everyone is on about and a diesel to bring back the MK1 lovers

Black one is lowered with AP coilovers - it used to have 17'' Spiders when I had it but sold them prior to sale of the car.

Big question - should I put a photo forward for the calendar? And which one? :p
