    Wow - comprehensive! It's one of the things most car makers are bad at doing. They have these lovely glossy websites, but the images are too brochury. Sometimes people just want to look at details.

    I just took "The Czech" (ok, I'm a nerd and named the VRS) for a spin at lunch.... Good fun! Although I just filled it up and got 9.9 litres per hundred (too much launch control this month ).

    YELLOW ??????? Each to their own ,but it makes me cringe everytime I see a Yellow car. My first car was a Yellow LJ Torana, maybe thats what done it to me.

    I probably should have spent more time taking photos of mine when it was new.

    call me old fashioned, but where are the lock pins/buttons on the door?
    i can't seem to find them on either the front or rear doors!

    i do realise u can set the car to 'auto-lock' once u start driving off n get up to a certain speed.
    but wat if u wanted to manually unlock/lock the door - how would 1 do that?

    Don't know about the lock, but double pull for the unlock

    No wheel bolt caps, or center arm rest either on the yellow VRS? Hmm...

    But it looks like they got an umbrella... LOL

    1) Don't setup the auto lock feature & the doors will remain unlocked.
    2) Press the lock/unlock button on the centre console
    3) double pull the door handle to unlock that individual door
    4) remove key from ignition (if set up in MFD)

    Also noticed the headlight adjustment missing and the chrome badges on the front door speakers don't look familiar to me either...
