Newbie from New Zealand

[urq20v]

Hi Guys,great forum!My wife and I have recently moved from Auckland to Portsmouth where she has taken up a new position at a Local hospital.

I have purchased a 3 month old silver Fabia vRS from the local Seat dealer here while at first intending to buy a new Leon TDi 140 sport.Having driven a vRS back in NZ,I couldnt resist when it turned up on the yard.I would have preferred black,but silver will be fine!

We covered 4000 Km over the Christmas/New Year period driving to Italy and back!I was absolutely blown away how easily the vRS ate up the miles.Economy was fantastic.Traveling at between 130-170Kmh most of the time,we averaged 48mpg!

Ive been a VAG fan for many years,but this is my first diesel.I am very impressed!Up until we left NZ,I owned an A4,S2,RS4 and ex Germany quattro rally car,but I have bought my baby with me,a black 1990 urquattro 20v (RR) turbo.

I am sold on the Fabia vRS,and cant wait to add a little more "performance" over the next few months.

Welcome to Briskoda. We recently exported one of our members (RobClubley) to New Zealand so it's a fair exchange to have you here.

Welcome indeed mate.

You'll learn loads here, may play havoc with the bank balance, just don't tell her indoors!

Hi Rex

Strangely enough, our "exported" member took his car with him to NZ

Are you going to let the Mrs join? :agree: We females are always touting for new members of our own sort to keep you menfolk in order I ask particularly because Pixi is a nurse (not sure of proper title) on the Isle of Wight who's counting down the hours till her new Fabia arrives

Regards

Thanks for the welcome!Mo,while my wife enjoys driving the Fabia vRS,she unfortunately is not a car enthusiast.However the enthusiastic "woohoo" she let out the first time she floored the vRS in third gear,shows some possibilities!

Tee hee! You'll be cycling to work soon then Best buy another one quick although it could be a bit expensive, i.e. improvements for two cars... LOL.

Good luck with those by the way; there's a lot of info on here about various aspects
