Tam_F87

Maybe it did snap after the collision. I can't remember who but someone said it snapped, but they didn't say when, but the driver said himself there is a lot of damage to the underneath

No, but one called Tam did crash a couple of years ago

2 weeks ago, a taxi driver was in a bad accident on the motorway. He had bought a brand new 53 reg Octavia Classic in December last year. As you will all now over the past few weeks there was some very heavy rain. Travelling back from somewhere down the motorway the back of the car skidded and the whole car did a 360 through the crash barrier and into a field. He got some bruises and a few burns from the air bags when they burst out and apparently the rear axle had snapped which caused him to skid. The car is a write off so he should be getting a new one soon. The bonnet was crumpled and the reg plate was knocked off, and the rear passenger door on the drivers side got quite a bit of damage, as well as the wing around the fuel cap.

I live in Larkhall, Scotland and there are 2 main taxi companies. The one i used to work for has 25 cars, 11 of those are Octavias. The other company has a lot of taxis and most of those are octavias. The surrounding town Hamilton has LOADS of them!

Yeah, all those Skodas have got alloys. (I'm looking for the plastic trim, not alloys )

Does anyone here have a full-on picture of a standard octavia wheel trim? I have an Octavia model for a PC game and have been searching everywhere for a wheel trim picture to use on the wheels of the model. Pictures, links etc can be posted here or emailed to me at [email protected] Thanks
