You might notice people slowing down around you on the motorway as all the unmarked cop cars around me are Octavia VRs'.

I didn't need the motorway, just some enthusiastic driving on the dual carriageway near me.  Blue vRS, bloke driving, in dark clothes.

Everybody seemed to move out the way nice and quickly...  :twisted:

People just slow down because they fear the Skoda will fall to bits and crash into them. :lol:

I've never been in one or driven one but they look a lot nicer than the old Radpide! I suppose they are much the same as VW quality and interior-wise now?

Very nice car Dave.

Is this the new Skoda model with 12 valves, (four of them in the radio?)  :)

Cheers Matt and Shobet - I knew you'd take the piss!  And yes, I suppose I am middle management!  :lol:

The thing is, I'm not taking car abuse from someone who drives a hairdressers car...  ;)

Yeah Shobet. You leave him alone!

But not cars.  To me they're just utilitarian machines to get me and my family safely and cheaply from A to B.

You're driving the wrong cars ;)

Good call anyhow Dave. Nowt wrong with a Skoda these days. Indeed they're the clued up man's choice of the VAG group.

Dave it looks like the exact kind of car you'd buy, good choice.

Anyone else think the line down the side above the door handles has a hint of volvo to it?
