My Skoda Octavia 4x4 Turbo

Had two, great fun...

As said, they are pretty capable with a remap.

Isn't there a video (somewhere) of your estate alongside against an Impreza?

Really like that.

Another car that was on my 'short'list.

Possibly, did plenty of scoobynet runs etc (had it in 2001-2006) or if more recent, likely to be Bengie's (last seen with no tints / vRS front bumper)

Fitted a new MAF this weekend. Obviously something was amiss. Saving for a remap now

[fullbeem]

Got a respectable 35mpg today driving along the M69 from Leicester to Coventry and back

OK an update

She got hit last Thursday by an Audi TT who tried to jump the queue of traffic by going round the outside. I was at the front of the queue and the tit clipped by offside front wheel and front bumper



Steering is now on the shonky feel.

Friend has one with a K04, Koni adjustables, filters exhaust and remap. Absolute weapon, embarrassed many an S3/M3/R32

M69/M1 roundabout?

If so horrible junction and I feel sad for spotting it.

Interesting thing but the OH's VRS has never felt wanting for traction...

Really? When I looked at buying a new VRS when the last model was on the zero vat offer, it was the lack of traction and awful torque steer that put me off (and that it would probably depreciate by half as soon as the new one came out)

I noticed recently that Skoda are now doing the Octavia in 4x4 form again, but sadly as is the way now you can't on with a petrol engine, same for the new Scout!
Madness!
