Picked up VRS last night

Featured Replies

Morning Everyone.

Well, picked up the VRS last night and all I can say so far is..wow!:D

Going from a 94 1.4 Astra to the VRS is a massive difference, and a good one at that. On the way home last night on the motorway I was doing 70 ish, when i want to overtake, you put your foot down and before you know it 85 is there. You really have to be careful, the engine just wants to go...

Ive not given it full beans as yet as I want to get used to the car before I do.

I know many members know what they are like, I just wanted to tell someone as im so pleased with it (lets hope it stays that way).

First job, check if dealer used car warranty is transferable from the guy I bought it off.

Right, better get some work done now.

Thanks

Shane

Congratulations, ive had mine now for about 2 weeks and love it to bits atm just flys when you want it and cruises lovely when you wanna chill. just take it easy till you get used to it.

ohh and post some pics!

Enjoy!!!

Awesome, enjoy it :D

Having upgraded from a 75 bhp 306 I know how you feel. The cars bad though, it inspires too much confidence :o The first night I had mine I drove it down my own private section of country road quicker than I'd ever driven before (in nearly 7 years of driving) down my private section of motorway, let alone country road :D

Oh and pics :P

Congrats on the new car. I collected my vRS in Jan this year and have loved every minute of ownership since then.

Cheers Guys, thanks for all the comments.

I will post some piccies as soon as I get chance to give a her proper clean. Thats the only trouble with Black, it looks so nice (i my opinion) but boy does it show the dirt.

I don't mind, I'd clean it every day if I could at the minute (new car feeling).:D

it seems to egg you on doesnt it when you first get it! then you look down at speedo and scare yourself!

dont worry i clean mine once a week atm and give it a coat of wax each time so when winter is here properly itll still be nice and shiny!

just need to get wheels off for a really good clean atm and new front tyres asap as i want to get some wet weather grip back as it rained other night and was quiet shocked/scared how little grip the tyres ive got had.

eagle f1s im thinking! and keep the original contis on the back.

Enjoy!
