I keep forgetting that new cars don't need servicing, or tyres or cambelts changing (which is a service item btw). ::)

According to Which Magazine Survey's the Skoda Octavia is the sixth best car to own! :y

Other Skoda's do really well too!

Not exactly "aptly named" either. My cousin has a kit car based on one. With practically all the bodywork removed it still doesn't set the world alight.

I wonder if it's a trait they continued with the "Superb".

No idea what you mean!  ::)  ::)  ::)

1. How do you double the price of a skoda?
Fill up the tank

2. Why do skodas have heated rear windscreens?
To keep your hands warm while your pushing it.

3. Have you got a wing mirror for a skoda?
Okay, seems like a fair swap

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

5. How do you double the value of a skoda?
Chuck a penny in it.

6. What do you call a Skoda with a sun roof ?
A skip

Indeed. Drive at the right end, plenty of weight over the driven wheels. IIRC the engine overhangs the back a bit, so might be a bit lively in a 911 kind of way, but not so much power, so perhaps not as deadly when the engine decides it'd rather be at the front?

I bet they were breathed-on a bit, though. By way of tuning, IIRC, the Alfa boxer engines will bolt on. :-*

Nor could they call the Fabia the "Non-confrontational socialist", I suppose. ::)

.. and as for the Favorit.. Not in a million years.. ;D
