Hi from Ireland

bryan · 08-11-2004, 14:26

Hello all, a happy Octavia vRS owner from lreland here, on my 3rd Skoda now, and will prob stay with them in the future

Just got car back from the paint shop, after getting a rear roof spoiler fitted, and getting the black door and bumper inserts done the same as the body colour. Hope ye like the finished look as much as I do

Thought those wheels looked smaller that usual. Now I know why!

cmcm789 · 08-11-2004, 15:38

Being from Cork, i pressume you have frequented Reardans (excuse the spelling) on occasions?

I have had one or two nights which i can't really remember in there. I have a friend from Bandon, and will hopefully be spending new years in cork this year (providing the weather holds)

***DGW*** · 08-11-2004, 17:21

Welcome, Bryan. I like the look of that extra spoiler.

Was over in Cork a few weeks ago for a stag do and went to Reardens - excellent night and really friendly place. Lost my mobile in there - two days later they found it and, as I was back in England by that time, they sent it back to me free of charge

Absolutely brilliant ... can't see many places in England being that helpful.

BTW - welcome Bryan

Hi Bryan!

Welcome to Briskoda!

Like all Irish cars....17"s are an option... Apparently the 16"s deal with the pot-holes better !

The colour coding on the car and the new spoiler look sweet!

I Might have to look you up next time I'm down in Cork direction...Boy!

Greetings from Dublin!

HI Bryan,
Welcome to Briskoda. I am in the windy west of Castlebar.. I have
colour coded my mirrors, bumpers and wing mirrors also. My car is the one on the right in the photo at the top of the screen. That shot was taken by GAFF at our meet in Punchestown earlier in the year. There are about 15 Irish users on this site and they are really helpful and sound

Are you into Rallying, as a few of us go to the tarmac championship rallies every year? Best of luck with the red beauty.
Regards

Mc Gyver

Dead right...a friend of mine was in Birmingham a few days ago and the battery in his phone went dead. He forgot to bring a charger with him so he went a bought a new charger, then went into a bar and asked if he could plug it in for a while. The response from the not so nice bar lady in the Square Peg was "that's the sort of thing you do at home, not in a bar" and she walked off. Surely on hearing an Irish accent she would have realised he was nowhere near home and was in desperation to make a call...

I know what I would have said to her...

Anyway, welcome to the forum Bryan.
