Ordered a Octavia vRS in black this morning for september the 1st (53 plate) delivery as my insurance have now paid out.

Excellent choice Sir!

It's always so tempting to do the colour game with [prospective] vRS owners...

Hope you enjoy the car, MB. Of course, it's not a fabia, etc...

well done:D happy washing;)

and I bet her never even drove the 4x4....

if he wanted that sort of thing he would have gone to land rover or massey ferguson..... or the ex ambulance fleet disposal auction

<< mega stirs >>

But an Octavia at all??

<< super-duper mega stirs >>

but they last more than 3,000miles, unlike the disposable RS...

<<< big wooden spoon >>>

Yeah but come on, it still says Octavia on the back. Sounds like a girl's name.

Fabia sounds like an musclebound italian stud - says it all really

*finds a saucepan to wear on head for protection*

I'm not going to tell you what Fabia is scarily close to........ :eek:

(hint: only one letter needs changing)

(better a girl's name than a girl's ??????!!)

Shame on you Ian, for daring to lower the tone of a serious conversation!

Well, if you can rely on me for one thing.............

And then only one thing...

Fabia is a girl's name. It originates from Latin. Traditional meaning: Feminine variant of Fabian from the Roman family name Fabius. Meaning: ................ Bean farmer

:cheers:

Congratulations - you've made a good choice of car. The colour isn't really important, but black is clearly the best choice as far as style, comfort, performance and residuals are concerned

Cannot wait now. Makes it even worse that i have had no car at all for the last 5 weeks.

Off to Magaluf on the 16 august for 2 weeks so that should take my mind off it.

I suggest you start exercising your smiling muscles now.

That way, when you get you new car you won't get face-ache from the big grin that 'll be stuck on your face!

Phil:D

Aye, you'll never play poker again!

The Octavia is an excellent choice of car! Not so sure about the RS bit though, and black is not a colour.

Nice one, shame about the colour

Get your brother to get hold of the VAG COM tool and speak to Jon about removing some of the environmental features, such as mixture leaning during braking.

MonkeyBoy - Fantastic choice,right colour,right model -- spot on.

Denis

Now Now Denis - shame on you - it's vRS not RS - you should now that.....

A blatant attempt at increasing one's post count, surely?

Not really. It was such an insignificant change that had I edited the original, I doubt that anyone would have noticed. However, knowing what sensitive blossoms vRS owners are, I thought it best to highlight the change by doing what I did. OK?

Next nitpicker, please....
