Default I'm back and I have gone German too!!

I know I have not posted on here for a few months but I thought I would say hi

As most of you know I sold my Scooby at the beginning of January. I have not been driving since as I had an operation on my thumb (tore the ligament from the bone and had to have it reattached!!). I still don’t have full movement in it again yet but its getting better and I am now able to drive again

I wanted something from the VAG group and have been looking for a few months and decided a Golf was a bit to small and after a few test drives I made my mind up!! Yep a Skoda Octavia vRS

I put a deposit on this Sunday and will be collecting it this or next weekend








Let the micky tacking begin!!

And before anyone else says it, any bets on how long I have it before I sell it again and by another Scooby!! Lol at this rate ill end up with a reputation like Dave's!! lol

Don`t leave the sunroof open and then be suprised when it`s full of rubbish.
And make sure before you leave the dealer the HRW is working because the cold spell is due to continue and you don`t want cold hands.

Must be loads more i`ve forgotten?


No seriously though isn`t it the Audi 2.2 turbo engine

What was that Dazza I`m sure you said something about saving a disabled parking spot at the next Posers.

Let`s hope he don`t break down cause thumbing a lift could be hard.............................................. ..................... Ok I`m stopping now.

How many ya want?

The Czech Pages - Skoda Jokes

Why do skodas have a rear wash wipe ?

........To remove the flies that crash into them.


What do you call a Skoda with a long radio aerial?

A dodgem!



What do you call a skoda driver who say's he has a speeding ticket ????

A Dreamer.


I had to part with my skoda as it was costing too much,

I was only doing 10 miles to every pair of trainers!!



Whats the difference between a Skoda and a tampon?

The Tampon comes with its own tow rope!
