Hi everyone I waiting to pick up my Mk1 2002 Octavia VRs in silver on Wednesday. For the last 4 years I have been driving a 1999 Nissan Primera GTLE.

I have been a member of NPOC (Nissan Primera Owners Club) and have been to many meets with them and have enjoyed the banter on the forums as well as all the knowledge about the Primera.

I am a vehicle technician and always do anywork needed to my own car so am hoping I can give as much advice and knowledge as I gain from this forum although I have not had a lot of experiance with Skoda.

Hello COPTECH and welcome along

Welcome to Briskoda. It will be interesting to hear what you think of the Octavia in due course.

Hi and welcome aboard.

If you spot a black '02 Octavia RS with a black grille and a personal plate around Bognor, that will be mine, although my partner drives it more than I do. Any visible mods on your car so we can tell it's yours if we see it?

Welcome to VAG ownership. There seems to be quite a few (myself included) who come to VAG from Jap cars. Personally I'm not going back unless my budget miraculously stretches to accomodate a Skyline
