Over the Weekend, went to see a not too distant Skoda Dealer about his 64 Reg'd Octavia vRS Estate Demonstrator with DSG box and under 2000 miles on the clock. He's just 'phoned to say his Boss has accepted my offer to do a deal and trade in my 2 year old version. In left them a deposit at the weekend so just need them to fit my Number Plates and sort the paperwork, Yippee!

It's the DSG Box that clinched it

He's got a motor trade watch then, Baldric.

[Baldric]

Probably right Tony, he says they got busy, whatever.
Sorted Money out at lunchtime, so just a quick walk 'round and kick the tyres, and it's parked up on drive until rush hour is over. Looks brill, Race Blue with Black Interior with Red Highlights, I'm Chuffed!

Very nice, Baldric. Watch out for those sneaky peelers with their ray guns !.

Baldric -I'm thinking of changing my vehicle and the Octavia estate is on the top of my list. A friend of mine got nearly 70 miles to the gallon on a trip to France.

[tonyav]

Retro, don't think I'll manage 70 mpg, not with a 2 ltr Petrol, 220 bhp, Auto, be nice if I could (dream on)

Is the boot big enough for a trabant ?

[Baldric]

Big enough for a pair of large dogs Baz, so that'll do.

I did post recently on how far the Scoda has come, from the days of being a joke along with the Trabant .

Car of the year , to boot .

Are you going to take it down the motorway to see if you can acheive the manufacturers mph figure ?

[Bazile]

'Scoda' ? - is that a soft drink - lol

Skoda of course

[Baldric]

It's my 2nd one, + OH drives a Yeti (still got the Beemer)

I did see a post that said the one I've just traded in did 140+, no idea where that came from, in case the Welsh Traffic Gestapo are looking in ;o)

Was that my question , by any chance which seems to have been pulled , for some reason ?

[Baldric]

No, that was the "Wee, That Was Fun!" thread from about this time last year, still there, just had a look!
