Richard's (Brisky) Roomster

[BossFox]

Got to pick the wife and children up on the way home.

Should be interesting as they don't even know about it.

[Toxicvrs]

It's here.

It's a Roomster.

It's Black.

Drives well.

Not bad spec.

Would have liked Maxi-Dot, Bluetooth and Cruise Control though.

Really like the seats.

Has it got a 1.8Tsi in it yet?

[BossFox]

Nice Richard, agree on the spec those little extras are nice. Does look better than I thought though think I have to see it in the flesh to be sold on the rear windows or not... if you know what I mean.

 

I do know what you mean, they are a bit odd.

But on a darker colour they are less of a stand out feature.

 

Doors are a bit slab sided too, especially without the rear door having a handle on the panel.

I'm already wondering if adding rubbing strips would break it up a bit.

 

Shame really on the spec because the Fabia Black Edition gets Maxi-Dot and Bluetooth.

 

Nice and light inside with the glass roof too.

Yes the black is what is selling it to me to be honest. And yes I think Skoda have missed a step with doing that because that to me would be the finishing touches to the car.

 

That glass roof is nice I have a couple of those with our Passat Estates and they're light in the back too and just gives it that illusion of more space than it is.

Be interested to see the seats Richard, the ones in my scout are not the most supportive, particularly for track!!

[Sparkly]

Are the seats the same as the Mk2 Fabia vRS and Montecarlo's?

 

I really rated the seats in my Fabia lovely support and still very comfy, great on track and in all honesty, more comfy than the Pleather and Alcantara one's in the Superb. 

[LeeHarrison]

Pleasure as always Richard...... you cleaned it yet   

 

Mark, yes the seats are those from the Monte, and very nice indeed they looked

Retrofit able?

[vRS19TD]

I'll hopefully see this tomorrow, if i can get my car through the MOT. :(

Maybe BossFox will let me take it home.

[BossFox]

Not yet, but I have taken the dealer sticker out as it was wonky.

 

 

You'd think the heated window elements would make a good guide.

New one please!

Yes, monte Carlo seats and very nice they are.

 

Best thing about the mk2 Fabia VRS was the seats and they are nice.

It's the Monte ones with white.

The gearstick, handbrake and steering wheel have RED stitching so you can really see why they put the WHITE Monte seats instead of the RED ones... :no:

 

Another Skoda UK brainwave...

 

 

At this rate I'm going to need a bigger drive.

Could Tech1E retrofit Cruise?

[BossFox]

Could Tech1E retrofit Cruise?

 

Yes, it's Climatronic and Maxi-Dot that you can't.

[Toxicvrs]

Did the wife and kids recognise you or just walk straight past :wonder:

Yes, that's pretty much it.

 

Taylor popped in one day and beat me home.

My Wife looked out of the window, saw the Citigo with a Skoda badge and just assumed it was me.

Even though she'd never seen the car before.

Or maybe not that interesting.

 

"what's that?"

"It's a Roomster"

"oh", gets in the car.

No surprise at it being a brand new car? You sir are a lucky man for not being questioned

She couldn't care less.

I have tried to shock, but I've been rumbled.

Lucky my ex just argued when I bought a Clio! Not like it's an expensive or decent car either! Thank god that's gone

Your seats were quite comical Barrie I was giggling like anything after passenger laps at Blyton

That's because you didn't take a tank home

Hmmm what about an APC... 8 wheeler... I'm sure you can get a Czech one
