I had only planned to run the .:R for a year or so and I do too many miles to justify keeping it, Skoda had their tax free petrols offer out so I jumped ship.

Looks great Ian. I have an Octy in the same colour in estate flavour at the moment. Only a 1.6 MPI but fully loaded. It's quite torquey too in stark contrast to the asthmatic MkVI I had few weeks ago.

Looking forward to seeing this in the metal.
Only 250.1bhp - but with that noise, who cares?

Mile-muncher ordered: MkVI 1.6 TDi BlueMotion Match DSG with leather, winter pack, luxury pack, fogs, climate control, Dynaudio pack, RCD510 with DAB & MDI, flat tyre indicator

...my only issue with this is that the word "pleasant" keeps getting used  :chicken:

get it angry, slam it and map it  :evilgrin: :grin:

im not the worlds biggest skoda fan in general...... mainly because both encounters ive had with them have ended up with £60 fines and 3 points  :rolleye:

My families affiliation with Skodas started many years ago when my Grandad bought a brand new Estelle back in 1988 :scared: They weren't  quite as cool back then but TBH it was the best car he had every owned, never let him down. I still have his Skoda Owners Club badge somewhere!!! :happy2:

Not much has changed really. Columbus (RNS 510) and shark fin with GPS fitted, cheers Stu and a colour coded front grille.

This little update is for my recent trip oop norf.









Very impressed. Everything as standard at the moment. :wink:

At one point my projected range plus miles covered came to all but 600 miles.  :scared:
