skoda octavia mk3 vrs

[bartolomeus]

My brand new car, and my first brand new car!
I've waited 3 months for it, it was worth it!

What do you guys think?

2.0 turbo, no MAF, 220 hp, dsg. Drives really nice, very big space in it and very big boot space.

[Costash]

Nice car ,enjoy it.

[saltinot]

Congratulations. I just spent a week with one of these and loved it. A hire car, black estate with a manual gearbox.

[Rusty]

Smart.

Drop it down on some nice wheels and get 300bhp in it. Done

[bartolomeus]

Thanks guys!
@Rusty I am already looking for some mint 19" LM's
I will not drop it because the ride is perfect for our rods.
Also now is on 18". On 19" it will look nicer, the space between the arches and the rubber will drop.
I will also add the brakes below, for more beauty than stopping power, and gotta talk with PRJ about 300 hp

[Greg_S]

looks very nice, quite like the look of the VRS estates too

[bartolomeus]

Just had my first service, changed the oil and filters, at 18.000 km
The consumption has dropped a lot since buying the car.
So far I like the car a lot.
I noticed in the service shop that my front tires are almost slicks
Since I drove 5000 km with winter tires, that means that I have finished the front tires in only 13.000 km

I told them that they should give me new tires, after all it's under warranty.
They said that they will give me a new right foot, a lighter one

[Cottis]

Plenty of life in those. You wanna see the slicks on the back of my coupe for the definition of bald.

Good work on driving it properly though

[Rocco]

How many cars do you have right now?
Come on, surprise me

[rxl]

8?

[bartolomeus]

Haha... 7 cars and a "cazan" - I don't know how to translate it into english, my 8th car looks something like this...

[rxl]

What is that? I mean what does this so called cazan do?

[marius555]

Well ... that's what you need after a certain age With that "cazan" you can make your own alcohol

[bartolomeus]

In my country (and I'm sure not only in my country) most of the people from rural areas use that to extract alcohol from fruits that have gone through the process of fermentation.
You simply add fermented fruits + water in the "cazan" and then make a fire under it.
Vapors of alcohol and water will start to build which will travel from the cazan through a pipe to a boiler where they cool down and convert into liquid.
First the most high % alcohol will come, and with time the % will drop. So it's up to you when to stop and thus deciding the % of the end result.

The resulting alcohol is in fact a liquor called TUICA, PALINCA, or RACHIU.

I'm sure that I've heard about RACHIU in other parts of Europe as well.

So if you don't want to pay high prices for hard liquors you should get one.
In my country gypsies fabricate these things.
