New Black Vrs Estate

[menacing banjo]

Only had the new car since Wednesday so i've only done a 100 miles but i'm off to watch Plymouth defeat Luton tomorrow so that'll rack up some miles.

Thanks for the great info on this site.... i am amazed at the obsessive nature of some of you folks but it sure is useful.

Congrats on getting the black estate version. We got one a couple of months ago and still loving every minute of it. We've got a little boy and a dog and it was all getting a bit cramped in the focus!

Hi MB, I sat a few times in your black RS estate in the showroom at White Dove, I bought a silver RS saloon delivered 1st september. I live in Newport area.

Are you responsible for the 14 miles it had on the clock.?

I've only seen one other vRS a yellow one at junction 33 M4. I've done about 2000 miles now and I am going to change my speakers and head unit soon. Love the car to bits.

Hows yours - Silver thats the sensible colour,
