Nah - bog off - Zs to an Octavia ..... :judge::judge::judge::judge: :whistle:



Jesting ofcourse Craig .... Speaking as a person who comes and goes car-wise often enough, this site ain't all about the car you drive .... ;)

Good luck with the Octavia mate . When I was in the market for my current zs I was also looking at the vrs and also the civic type r . Test drove the type r but didn't think that much of it to be honest think with all the hype about them I was expecting more from it . Didn't get chance to test drive the Octavia vrs seen my zs180 fell in love with it and test drove that and it was sold I loved it and I,ve had it 7 years in February and still love it the same as I did from day one .

cant knock the Octavia m8 they are great cars.. new a couple of brisky forum m8's with um.. nearly had one after my fabia vRS.. but got something else for a while.. back in a Zed now as I love the look of the mk2.. eventhough its no were near the condition of previous zeds... as said not so much the cars but the people.. great helpful site..:smile1::smile1::smile1::smile1::smile1:

Cheers guys, I will most definitely be staying around on here as I love my zeds and am always keen to see what's going on with others cars and general daily things too. It's not just a car forum on here, its a community as we all love cars full stop. The zs just holds a special place in our hearts, just a shame that my current one has lost its something special about it.

I may be taking bit off her soon, decat and cat back stainless which I'm in two minds if to sell or keep for the next one as will be a hatch again and then the mk2 rims.. Don't really want those to go but haven't a spare set if wheels other than a set of proton satria alloys with track tyres I had on my old rover 25 and they don't really suit the zs.
Induction and catch tank are already off as couldn't get oe air box back in with tank in place so got those stored away in preparation :)

I really do appreciate the comments guys, does mean a lot so I will as I said stay on here and pop along to meets to catch up with and hopefully meet some if the ones I haven't already seen.

All I'm going to say is the people and site have been a great help to me whilst I was running the zs and this forum is a great one to be part of, even if I do now drive a taxi.. I mean skoda lol :D

Would it be worth buying some Mk1 straights, they seem to go around a £100 odd with good tyres??

Have thought about it but I've already spent more on the octavia than what I should've :(
When the parcels start arriving I'm going to have a bit of explaining to do as it was bought as a reasonable performance decent sized family car to have a break from the mg so could properly decide what I wanted.
Problem is I've been buying suspension, tip's, recite splitter valves and almost got carried away and nearly bought a downpour back full stainless non res exhaust. So glad I stopped before hiring the buy now on that as my mrs is great when it comes to me playing with the cars but I think that may have pushed her over the edge :whistle: :whistle:

Still may find something local and cheap to chuck on there so can save the mk2's yet..

cheap enough,get them posted down?
