Ordered mine last week - Black for me.

I've got a 150bhp 1.8T Passat at the moment but the wife was always complaining that I wanted to drive her Leon Cupra, so she suggested I get a vRS - Top woman!

Spoke to my local dealer also about their views on engine modifications and they said they can't see anything wrong as they'd chipped up a couple in the past - Woo Hoo!

Mother-in-law lives in Stamford so will be paying her a visit once I've bedded the engine in:D

:bigcrowd:

Come join the Black vRS fun! Hurrah - good choice.

BTW - You'll need thick skin to protect you from the envious comments of the 4x4 owners here

well done, welcome... and we home to see you out for a blast on thursdays!

Same engine, plus Audi Haldex transmission, multi-link rear suspension and side airbags on the 4x4

What's there to be jealous of apart from better brakes, lack of roll, sports seats and a chrome tail-pipe ?

Welcome 100MPH+

A good choice indeed !!

Did you go for the Hatch or estate ??

I have the hatch & to be totally honest it is not the easiest thing to carry bikes around in (unless both wheels out then placed in a bike bag).

Looking at the avatar it looks as though the pic was taken in competition, DOB 1962, guess that makes you a Vet then ??

Whats the DH Bike ??

:cheers:

Graham

Looks a bit like one of those beefy Orange DH bikes - from what I can make out on the avatar. nice big discs on the front...

OK. Let's have the name of a 4X4-owning Briskoda member who would prefer a vRS.

100MPH+ you racing at Whalley nab the w/e?

...much as I love my big wobbly ambulance, the vRS is a superior car in every way and I really really wish I'd bought one...

Case in point I think...

Rob.

Very clever, Rob. My question stands.

But then, who of the vRS owners would want a 4x4?

Everyone's got too much pride!

Colin wishes he had and RS or a SeatLeon both fwd with more power/style

i would like a 4x4 vRS but not a 4x4.. and i would want one with a rwd bias not fwd bias otherwise its just a truck.

You forgot the bodykit...

Hi and welcome to Briskoda!

Yes I've said I'd rather havea rs over a 4x4, but my reasons are mis quoted Just need to add more bits to my 4x4, then I'll be happy. Another Warrington driver whoohoo, thats 3 I now know of, they had a WRC (they = dealer) chipped up with APR, same as I have had done.

Indeed, almost time for a Thursday night out of Daresbury I think. If your ever on the A49 and see a low estate pottering then feel free to wave

sorry if i misquoted you Col, but i knew you had basically said that RS drivers are more sexually potent than 4x4 boys (except Ian "pregnant at 20 pace" Cooke)

I went for the hatch, I have a wheel support rack for the bike, the boot gets filled with spares, tools & camping gear!

Yeh, I'm in the Vet category and it's a Santa Cruz V10 with 8" Hydr disc brakes, 10" rear travel, 7.5" front travel.

ffelan, where or what is Whalley nab?

I race in the Scottish Series and the National Points Series but we're always on the lookout for places to train & play. We usually go to Nantmawr, Nannerch or up to Innerleithen to train plus Coppull BMX track for jumping practice!

1oomph+ i have a cannondale f2000 and jekyl nice to see some more bikers about

I've also got this, which is 'slightly' modified:D

Surely that should read bisexually potent or, alternatively, sexually impotent. NB In both cases the word more is superfluous. Take you pick! :rofl:

you'd have to ask the wife;)

Or Jon and the wife?

Welcome to Briskoda.

Take no notice -- vRS rulez -- especially in Black Magic
