OT:Paging the VRS fanatics



Can anyone please advise what have I let myself in for having ordered a
130BHP VRS? (after quabbling down to £700 under list - sorted).
Cunningly I haven't even driven one yet - yeah what a rocket scientist
buying a car on merits of reviews alone but the reviews are very commending
to the car, but the main reason I went for it is the economy and lower
excise duty not the hot hatch aspect (honest guv).

Also a key factor was to take the worries for my other half with a POS
vehicle by trading it in and passing her my newer/safer/more reliable car
(cor ain't she lucky - do I deserve a blowy now do you reckon or no? )
Its probably double the BHP on my existing cage, so I imagine it will be
interesting to say the least - or slightly less bland than usual anyway.

Although it isn't the main reason I went for this option should I expect an
ear to ear grin or a mighty surprise in a few weeks?
Yes I know, most sportriders probably get a far better buzz for less money
and with lighter chassis but I only have a hardley clone at the moment which
ain't exactly a pocket rocket, and I dunno if it really would be worthwhile
to swap it fer something else.
I'd certainly welcome a more practical all-round ride though (like any
Hinckley triple) but I think this can wait a tad.
They re-map to 175bhp. web-search for Jabba Sport. In 130bhp mode they're a
tad tame, but ok.
