HI All
Just wanted to share the good news. Am a proud owner of a Viper green 1.4 TSI 160, which i picked up today and drove the 'Roc back down to the Garden of England.
I love the colour, it'll look even more vibrant in the sunshine (whats that I hear you all cry)
Well I took a few pics of the car whilst doing my check on it, I hope you guys like.
If you see a Viper green 'Roc, give them a wave , it may be me

I would have got a Viper but I thought it would attract jelious undesirables in the area and wound get scratched up all the time. That and it looks just as good in white after ive cleaned it.

Welcome Pad,
Always nice to see more Vipers..
Nasher is pleased about this
I love taking hers (Kermit) out, but then she takes my Edition 30 Golf (candy white)and thrashes it to within an inch of it's life
Get used to people staring at you, normally, nice car or wtf is that!!
Some of us are talking about organising a little Kent meet-up, you'll have to come along.
Keep a look out for us..

Hi Hewhore
Thanks very much for the warm welcome to the Kent 'Roc club.
Nice pic of "Kermit"
I havn't got a nickname for my 'Roc yet, but friends and colleagues have offered nickname for me such as "Kermit", "Green Hornet", "Green Goddess", "Ghorbaghe Sabz" ( Green Frog in Iranian) and even "Tinkerbell" !!!!!
Maybe we should start the Exclusive Kent Vipers 'Roc Club ?
Sounds cool if you happen to get the Kent 'Rocs together on a meet.
Cheers

I have to say really really surprised as the car we traded in was really good and tbh we had buyers remorse driving the Roc home having said that now after driving it after a few days it is really a breath of fresh air and has shown what sort of short coming we were living with the BMW on a day to day basis.
And
I thought the BMW Mini was exclusive when we first had one when on launch day(first in the area)and was a really bad buy,but this is even more exclusive as it has now been out for a couple of years now and we have yet to see another one on the road.

Congrat's with the car! Lovely color!
Are you considering new wheels, or are you going for the stocks?
