Hi guys,
Thought I'd share a couple of photos of our Octavia RS.
I've been on this forum for about a year. Being a “car enthusiast” I originally joined so I could tag along to a few happy laps sessions since I wanted to see how our other VAG car went on the track.
About the same time we started thinking about replacing my wife's Suzuki Swift with something a bit bigger since our first child was on the way. We looked at quite a few wagons including the Octaiva, Mazda 6, Liberty and Mondeo. My wife wasn't all that fussed, a car is a car right?
I'd meet Aaron (redline3345) at the Happy Lap Sessions and had seen his silver wagon. I had also spoken to Guy at Harding Performance about their RS and both had said how happy they were with them.
However since the Octavia RS was just outside our budget, we had all but signed the contract on a Mazda 6 turbo diesel, but I thought I'd have one last look on carsales and spotted a white Octavia RS demo with about 80kms on it. I rang the dealer to see how negotiable they might be and drove over that day. After a bit of haggling and "convinceyourbetterhalf.com.au", we signed the contract on the Octavia and picked up the car in early October.
Below is a pic of the car at the dealership.
Now being a “car enthusiast” had I mentioned earlier, and having other modified and sport orientated cars, as much as I pretended, standard was just not going to cut it, so below is how our Octavia sits today which is part way towards the goal. And thankfully my wife loves the car.
