Nice icicles!

Thanks picture doesn't show it well but the longest icicle was just touching the top of the snow, which itself is a little over 3" deep

You need to upgrade that iPhone 3G

I know can out **** but it was a quick snap

Looking a bit better quality for you ballbagsandassholes 

 

snow is is the only time you can drift your fwd 

Been ages since I’ve posted in here.... seems appropriate to post the first pic of her with winter shoes. Only had my winter setup 4 years 

Probably the only time the vRS will se such snow, since here we get snow usually once in 4 years 

I'd love to let a pick of pingu in the snow, however she's in the garage next to the wife's Mazda. Yep double garage that's double length as well. House still being excavated and rebuilt but garage and 'workshop' is brilliant. 

My 108000 mile VRS, just recovered from my son after 4years of abuse and returned to its former glory for not a great deal of money. It still goes like a train and is completely rattle free. All original. 

 

 

My Fabia estate after another quick tidy-up (What a waste of time in this weather, eh?) It does look great when its clean - for about twenty minutes (Why is black so unforgiving?)

Keep those wheels....^^^^^

Recently bought a early 2003 model. I was thinking od refiting original springs, but I am not sure about the look in hight with these audi a1 rims. 

 

Maybe just switch to kw dampers and springs? Right now I am believing that these are 30mm springs on OEM dampera. Makes the ride a bit stiff-bumbi, like hard springs on soft dampers (for higher sorings).

 

so 2 choices, leave it for now and switch to kw damper set with springs (or other preferdable springs/damper kit) OR OEM RS setup?

 

looking for a bit od lowerd and compromiae on confoert with handling. in my opinion this kind of setup with oeam dampers and lowered springs does not seem much safe...

I haven't posted here in a while but had to change my rad recently. So as I had all the front off I thought why not add some extras!

I like your wooden ramp extensions so the bumper doesn't catch on the ramps

I had nearly the exact same number plate, KS05SFN! was thinking when’d it go red 

Does anyone recognise this car? Bought the car with briskoda sticker on rear screen, love to speak to a previous owner!

I am the second owner having bought this one 5yrs ago from Northampton area.

As I recall it was originally supplied and serviced by Progress Skoda Northampton.

Great cars aren’t they? One son “borrowed” this one from me for almost 4years. My other son had a brilliant 1.2htp that’s still going great guns at 118k miles.

Rare sunny blast along Honister Pass

Yes amazing cars, as you can see one letter difference :P

Finally back from a week in the body shop having wheels refurbished and bubbling paint/rust on the sills, boot and wheel arches sorted out. 

In the middle of changing my injector seals.

 

 

 

 

Does somebody have mud flaps on a vrs?

Had a couple of weeks off after the arrival of our second child. Who is doing great!

The vrs is my wife's daily and child hauling tool of choice.

Deep cleaned the interior and refurb of the wheels. Was looking for a gunmetal colour. However got battleship grey/ raf blue (like the old service trucks)

Turned out ok, also got around to fitting new badges front and rear, with a super deep clean to the outside. Clay bar the entire car and polished up with an autoglymm top dress.

Ran out of tyre dress though.

 

(Oh and taught the boy to ride his bike without stabilizers, we now an evil kenevil stunt child)
