Well I guess you'll see it at Wellington Airport just before the most awesome airshow that I've been to..
Congrats on winning the comp!

Great value for money too, think of them as a more sporty version of a VW Passat (they share about 90% mechanical compnents).

Edit - Or maybe I could make do with one of the old Soviet era Skodas? Perhaps not...
Yeah I don;t think anyone actually owns a car at school- they all steal their parents'
How much are the ones on Trademe?

LOL! I've got a feeling that some people had a bad run with them... I've had 6 of the rear engined models (2x S110L from the 70's, and 4x 120L from the late 80's) and apart from a new steering rack on one, and throwing some smaller (yes, smaller!) alloys on them to get them on some wider section tyres, no problems hereNever paid more than $400 for any of them, all WoF'd and Reg'd with the highest k's being 120 thou.
Flatmate must also be a nutter... He's just imported some MegaSquirt parts for a DIY ECU, to throw in his weekend car... an 88 Skoda 120 with a 1300 turbo conversion

The only ones under $20,000 are older Fabias, which don't look that flash. Unfortunately >$20,000 is a lot of money for an unemployed student!

More than flash looking my friendSkodas now have a reputation for being ultra-reliable (gasp!) , great value and are also renowned for great build quality.
Gave a Mitsi Evo a good kicking at the lights on the Hutt motorway, then the Skoda roared over the Rimutakas as if she wasn't trying- Oh yeah and all at an average of 7.2L/100KM.Timmo wrote:QUOTE (Timmo @ Mar 14 2008, 05:31 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>...speaking of which, here is my 'new' car...
