Pics of my new car

I have some energizers and they seems to last for ages, thou its not a speed charger so it's done overnight. I'd get some speed charger instead.
 
I use UniRoss AA's (2300mAH), and a UniRoss charger in my Pentax *istD digital camera, generally get 400-600 photo's per charge, which seems 'ok' to me. Much better than the 40-50 pics 'standard' throwaway batteries.

Obviously it does depend on flash usage, and long exposure pictures (stars circles for instance) really eat up the batteries fast.
 
Hilly - what's std and optional on the vRS?

There are a few on autotrader for 8.8-9k that look good, but it's not clear what you get std on a 54/05 reg one.

Cheers.

To some extent thats true, although on some 'unbranded' batteries, the mah rating seems about as accurate as the Watt/channel on portable stereo systems.

I had some 2500mah which didnt last half as long as some pretty old 'Samsung' 1300's!. But even so, they still lasted for a reasonable number of shots.

Very true. The maximum realistic mAh value on a AA is about 1500mAh. It's of course limited by the elements used and the size of the battery. Any company claiming more is not using normal physics!
 
Don't like it at all, but what does that matter if you're happy?:)

Those 6 buttons above the stereo, only 2 in use? looks odd:p are they reserved for top spec models or is it just the same dash from another car?

No way do you own that, I'm calling BS on this one unless you post it with bread. Don't worry everyone is doing it, even the cool kids (phate).

Hope your joking!
 
UniRoss Sprint 90 Min Battery Charger inc 4 x AA 2500 mAh Rechargeable Batteries :

Would be spot on no? :)

Also standard on the Fabia vRS is:

Central locking, air conditioning (with glove compartment cooling too), ABS, CD player, power steering, immobiliser, alarm, 16" alloys, 6 speed gear box, vRS seats (upgradeable to leather, and heated leather)

http://www.skoda.co.uk/skoda3g/content/showroom/fabia/specifications_equipment.aspx - standard stuff is there.

Any more questions then fire away :)

Reserved for optional extra's.

Decent enough car, am happy with it, been driving it for a month and it'll do till I get a higher paying job. Will keep it for a few years I think now :)
 
Used to have one of these, was good fun. Did 4000 miles around europe in 10 days with it, cracking little car. The brakes didnt like the stevlio pass though :D

Are you going to chip it? I have an unused AMD one click unit here that I didnt get round to installing on mine!
 
Yep, the Uniross batteries should be fine, the 2500 is still probably somewhat optimistic, but imho, they are good value for the money. Uniross have been selling batteries and chargers for over 20 years, and their products are generally long lasting, with a sturdy contruction.

Sure they may be better batteries, and there may be cheaper batteries.... But Uniross are a pretty decent 'down to earth' brand.

I use Uniross 'AA's in my rechargeable mouse as well, and they are still going strong after two years of hard use.

PS. Grats on the new car... Cars are such personally things, everyone wanting something different out of them. Enjoy your car, and give it lots of love and polish, and im sure it will look after you too :)

Thank you, I appreciate that :)
 
Nice car, I am tempted to get one of these now, would have bought one as my first car 8 months ago but didnt have the money so got an 04 Megane which is a nice car but I like the performance/economics of the skoda now, and have the means to pay for it.

Black seems to be a nice colour for it, what made you choose it you only ever see them in silver with the odd red and yellow one which is a tad girly for me. Lol theres a old couple round here who drive a yellow vrs at 25mph everywhere

Whats the cabin like for space, I have sat in one before although was in a showroom and parked right next to another car so couldnt open the door wide enough to evaluate properly.

Do they come with any toys or extras, my megane has the funky hands free card and push start along with 6cd changer, electric panoramic roof, elec folding (essential on my road) heated mirors etc I would miss those!
 
Nice choice of car... although that comment is slightly biased :)

My only rant in terms of appearance is the exhaust - gets covered in crud really quickly. Suppose it's an excuse to swap it for a Milltek.
