hi, new here. bought a fabia vrs today.

picked up an 05 plate black fabia vrs today.

got a few plans for it, remap, and a decent head unit to start with.

a quick rundown of my car ownership history before this, from top to bottom in historical order....

polo gti
mk3 ibiza cupra 20vt
lupo gti
lupo sport
saxo vts
mr2 turbo
another mk3 ibiza cupra 20vt
mini cooper (original type)
my very first car, a saxo.

so that's a run down of my car ownership history. i also ride motorbike and have had a ninja 636, yamaha r1, triumph tt600, and a few other bikes.

i'm 25 years old and from near watford.

card's behind the bar, what's everyone having?

Nice list of cars
The only cars i have owned are

Great car, best colour and I'm a Watford boy myself. Moved to Hemel cos my wallet isn't big enough for Watford prices at the mo.

Welcome

edit: I'll have a pint of lager, cheers

Re: hi, new here. bought a fabia vrs today.

Adam

I have a Fabia Vrs and am seriously considering trading it in for a Lupo GTI, need some cach for a wedding next year!!
I have just changed jobs so diesel economy is no longer important.

Guess what im really after is a comparison between the two cars from a day to day driving experience

Thanks

Matt
