RE: Skoda Sunday Service: 17/7/16

[Miner49er]

Nothing to add really apart from a big thanks to PH, Skoda and the venue for a great morning out. As far as I’m concerned, the relatively low turn-out didn’t detract from the event at all.

[IknowJoseph]

Thanks PH & Skoda! Hope it's repeated soon. All I need to do is sort my paint chips..

[Janesy B]

Impressed that I managed to be the only Ford for most of the morning until the Focus TitX appeared, any pics of a blue Fiesta ST-2? Was going to take a couple myself but had to rush off to sort something out.

It was a good morning, thanks to PH and Skoda for their hard work. Nice to have a very different venue too.

Looking at the pics it's a shame there wasn't a Dealer Team Skoda silhouette super saloon on display? Missed a trick there lads!

James - unless I'm missing something, that links back to this thread

Really?!? It workes for me?

Yes it says "join the discussion here" and that takes you to the page that precedes this thread.

Just done it again.

[SpikeBmth]

yep, follow the links, come back this thread

[RenesisEvo]

I have the same thing, it just links back to this thread. Not a bad thing, mind.

[James Drake]

Ha, my mistake... I underestimated my colleagues in the editorial team, as what they've done makes waaaay more sense.

Ignore me, I'll get my coat! (And delete my comment to avoid any further confusion!)

I'm sure that Skoda (and no doubt PH) went to some effort for the SS yesterday, thought it was excellent despite the relatively small turnout. Still a decent showing of PH'ers cars and owners who were willing to discuss them. Hope Skoda will be a regular on the SS calendar going forward.

PS it was worth going just for the ice cream

Thank you PH for excellent SS and Skoda for great hospitality hosting this event. Really yummy ice cream.

Great to chat with you Neil on your TVR Griffith.

Hi Frank, good to meet you too and likewise good to have a gander at your lovely SLK55!

Hope to bump in to you again soon.

Nick (don't worry, I've been called worse than Neil before )

Echoing other members who attended this SS, I felt the surprisingly low turnout worked out in our favour. It's not often we get to walk around seeing every car and speaking to almost everyone, properly engaging in the love of all things automotive.

In my eyes it's what these Sunday Service events are all about, and Skoda's hospitality really topped off the morning. Can't wait for the next one!

Just wanted to add my thanks to the long list.
I arrived just after 08:30, after my co-driver thought I was a bit lost, spotted the White R Estate roll past and followed them in!

Great location - about 45 minutes from me - so I can't complain. A good selection of cars - loved the Zenos and Primer Grey RS3. Having a look under the bonnet of the Bonneville 227mph record car was interesting. Generally a good atmosphere - although the penis in the GT86 showing he could do what most cars could was a bit pointless.

It was nice to talk to Martyn (I think - RenesisEvo) about his E39 M5 and current MX5. I think the G60 stole the show for me. Although the 2 Superleggeras and Huracán were lovely.

Forgot to mention the nice VRS keyring I got when the Scalextric broke!

Thanks PH & Skoda for a well-planned, friendly event - as always! - And No Check-in this time - Unless I missed it! :/

Thanks Ayman82

That's my G60 :-) there was a good variety of cars. The Evo6 was pretty sweet also!

[midget_ad]

Late to the party, but a big thumbs up to PH & Skoda, for a first SS Skoda put on a good event & I felt the location was a great choice. I thought the morning had a great atmosphere with a good mix of cars (aside from my own) and given the more relaxed nature gave a good chance to chat with their owners.

Thanks to Spudlink for chatting at length about it and pretty much all things car related. It was good to see the Zenos up close; great to see a credible rival to Caterham & Lotus on the road and being used as intended. I also have to thank tfboy for the time to talk about living with a Tesla as a daily & also for the chance to experience 'ludicrous' mode before leaving; it's fair to say my perception of acceleration in a road car has been re-calibrated.

Good to hear wizardskills made it back in one piece with the GT6, having a soft spot for these it was great to see one turn up, hope it's back to rude health soon.
