my mates octavia rs beast

beast you say ??

[michaeli]

Oh... Didn't know there was anything on at Spod...

I might go and take the car down the strip against the 'beasty octavia'

Saturday or Sunday??

[zentac]

Im off up to York dragstrip this weekend if anyone wants to practice before japshow.

[Bal]

come on be fair ... a front wheel drive 220 bhp octavia (potentially 250 by sunday) is nothing to be smirked at ... well against my lowly gls anyways.

but then again front wd means that he wont be able to put all the power down quickly, prone to wheel spin, tourqe over steer and burning rubber ... but then i might be talking our of my backside cos i know nothing about cars lol.

Errrr.......yes it is

[Legnum Lad VR4]

LOL leave the Octy Vrs alone i nearly bought one. for what they are, they are quite good standrad 1.8 20v turbo producing 180bhp

and very easilt modded to much more power

The Octavia is a good car. They're well built and generaly reliable, and the dealers aren't the arrogant so-and-sos like you get at a VW/Audi place (with due apologies and political immunity to Pete there!! ) Okay, it's no VR-4, but I think the amusement factor of blasting people with a Skoda is as much fun as it is with an 'Old Man' car!

We were out on track with a load of Skoda VR's at Trax.



nuff said!!

[Bal]

my mate was there he told me you all blasted them ... good good.

WARNING - CVR4 sounding like MLR

It sounds like a skoda bashing session

Come on guys... be fair... we all have passion for our cars... He likes his skoda, we like our VR4's...

Let's learn to get along... The skoda's have an audi TT/Seat Leon engine in them, they can't be that bad....

[You See]

Why spin 2 wheels when you can spin all 4?!!!....

[Bal]

it's all friendly banter. noone should ever take anything too seriously.

saying that im thinking i might get a skoda rs. as much as id love a vr4 i couldnt afford to look after one ...

[Nick Mann]

Most cars have an advantage somewhere over another. The Skoda wins on running costs, for sure. I am pleased to say I can't see any other ways in which it is better though!

[am2801]

I know, seeing as every1's s******g off the s***a!!
Shall i add the (ahem) grandad mobile(mondeo) to this thread?
Maybe i should take it down on sunday and thrash the nuts off it. while the other 'arf watches in despair!!
It may be the 1st and last chance i get because he's selling it (hopefully)

However it is a 2.5 v6 so it's pretty fast. just a shame about the name

P.s don't tell him i said that!!!!!!!!!!
