Fairly confident in my car cleaning abilities. :cry:

It's just UK weather at this time of year means its dirty literally a day later.

Practical Skoda too many fancy R8s and BMWs

Skoda is the best looking of the latest gen VAG equivalents IMO.

Great looking car.

Steven Rimmington · 25 Nov 2023 at 10:44

They certainly have come along way with the latest gen. Feels a lot more premium than an older MK3. I do prefer estate cars, super practical!

The other advantage of this car is people will be cautious around you as they won't be sure if you're in an unmarked police car or not.

What skoda model is that?

I'm toying with the idea of getting a new car as mine is getting on. But I am not a car person at all...

Octavia is it not?

Steven Rimmington · 25 Nov 2023 at 13:19

Yep Skoda Octavia

ShiWarrior · 25 Nov 2023 at 15:46

the VRS version (Sporty!)

Hi All,

I thought I would show off my Pug. Just so you know, i'm 19 and have only recently started working full time for the past year. I bought this car to commute to work roughly 350 miles as week, and although it hasn't been very reliable (Normal Stuff that goes wrong such as Topmounts, Thermostat housing) it's a brilliant little car. 0-60 in roughly 6.5 seconds. I even managed to keep up in a drag race against an I30n (only slightly behind!!!). Going from the normal 1.2 petrol to a 1.6 turbo petrol has been absolutely great but the car is terrible on fuel (roughly £70 a week at the miles im doing). My next thoughts are to wait until I can get a company car like the mg4 and cut down on my monthly outgoings to put a deposit together for a house.

Doesn't look that practical, the gearstick is missing! You aren't driving anywhere like that! /s

I know !

In all seriousness though my older MK3 was manual and the DSG is fantastic. I genuinely don't miss a manual.

600 LT felt like it gained 50HP or so this morning in the 0c air.

Saw the car, can't say I saw you to say hello!

I've had my practical Octavia VRS for a couple months now and I actually really like it. I thought it was going to be a downgrade but it's actually a joy to drive.

The satnav is rubbish though.

Gibbo · 27 Nov 2023 at 13:04

Left the Vette with Autobrite for a machine correction polish and a professional five year ceramic coating, having the professionals do it due to the car been nearly 50 years old and a fibreglass body, should be spotless when done at which point it will go in storage for Winter:

ShiWarrior · 27 Nov 2023 at 15:30

@Gibbo
that needs to go in the Valet / Detailing thread too (just because its cool!)

Regy53 · 27 Nov 2023 at 17:30

Finally got around to sorting out my 2fa account after somehow locking myself out.

Going through my little crisis, i imported this race winning nascar truck …. She’s a bit naughty.. plan is to take her to shows and do the odd uk track day evening (setup for roadcorse) Currently has a 550-600 bhp 13:1 compression small block engine fitted, needs race fuel which is painful but sounds like somthing else

It was ran from 2004 - 2010, won 2 races and is pretty cool
