So far so good. I've gotten rid of my poxy MINI Cooper S forever to be replaced by a fabulous black Fabia vRS.

...and a big one of these...

congrats wayne!

Nice one! Very shiny.

btw. Love the xenons too!

Superb choice Wayne.Just like mine.Hope you like cleaning cars though.Doesn't bother me personally!

As you may or may not have read couple of weeks ago,I do have a particular dislike for bmw mini cooper s's,and especially some of the turnips that drive them,not that I was much better on that occasion! One off for me,I must be reasonably sensible,I drive a SKODA too!! :thumbup:Reading your original thread tonight ironically,notice as a consequence that your car was delivered bang on time. Excellent. C.J.

The idiot in the Cooper S who was sitting on my back bumper with full beam & fogs on last night got a very rude awakening

I even slowed to let him catch up, then humiliated him again

:mischief:

Nice one Wayne ............hope Waynetta likes it !..................sorry , I'm sure you've heard it loads of times before ...............but not from me !

Seriously though , I hope you enjoy the Fabia a lot more than the Cooper S .

It's early day(s!) yet but I have to say that the Skoda feels very, very well made

I am ashamed to say that I (and so many others) were taken in by the clever marketting: and not seeing (and hearing) what you were really buying. Namely a creaky, rattley, flimsy piece of

PS: Anyone else have a problem at the moment trying to post pictures to their "My Gallery"? I can't get anything into mine as it crashes, so I had to put the above pictures onto my MINI2.com area. Not ideal.

Thanks.

Tell me more!

No no no chance whatsoever. More chance of me going out and buying 2 mini cooper s's,and giving my fab to the missus!

Hopr you enjoy your car as much as I'm lovin mine.Couple of little niggles,but nowt serious.So far best car I've ever had!! C.J.

pardon my dimness but what is a big one of those,or isn't it comin up on my screen properly :confused:

2nd edit..got it now...BIG grin!! Sorry

Wayne, ha I'm another mini defector. However I had no problems with my last Cooper (Oct 03) and only a few creaks in the Mini One I had previous to it, the problem lies with my dodgy knee and the BMW/Mini type accelerator.

But!

I'm just as excited to pick up my Black Magic Fabia VRs this Friday Yee Har

Have to sell my whalen shift machine though and I did like that big lump of metal :(

Wanye Looking good matey and nice and shiny, I defected from the Renault Clio 172 Mk2 as this is shoddily built and like the mini has loads of quality defects. BTW how much where the headlight covers ?

Very nice wayne. Wish mine was still that clean. I see you got yourself a small vRS badge on the back like me. It makes a big difference that badge. At least another 10bhp.

If the Cooper is anything like the Mini One that I had as a hire car last week, then I don't blame you for getting rid of it.

Whoever designed that piece of **** needs a good kicking, or be made to drive round in one.

??????? :confused:

Never driven a Cooper or Cooper S, but a Cooper S recently beat my Octy vRS and I have sat in a Mini One which I really liked. I suppose you will get used to the loss of performance in the Furby compared with the Mini.

I'd imagine the Furby vRS will be quicker in a straight line than the MINI on a towtruck...

Around

I never noticed that! Thanks very much for that eagle-eyed observation.

I've also got the new edition "3-blink" detent on the indicators too. Autosales Skoda were pleasantly shocked to see that coming through on new cars - and so am I!

Bang on Rob. Bang on.

(The MINI Cooper S really isn't that fast in a straight line. It wins on cornering though everytime).

I've got this on my car, BTW it has made me really lazy, I sometimes think I am in a bmw when changing lanes, but then I remember the car I am in is more reliable

:confused: I'm with you chavyboy. What is john j on about. Badge looks normal size to me,or is it another one of those lateral thinking jokes me wonders! C.J.

I don't know shaggy !

Must be a joke as this is standard on the vRS.

Shsss they are a little :pillepall

Look closer at picture 2. Look at the size of the vRS badge. Its the same size as the fabia badge, right. Now look at Chavyboys avatar. Spot the difference yet.
