Paint Peeling after 18 months????
mattstimpson replied to BlackVRS's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
if you do get it re-painted. i suggest going to the pound shop and buying an umbrella, sellotape that to your roof and hey presto, no more bird $hit. how stupid, how do they expect you to keep shy of bird $****. screw em for all you can. -
why not to a diesel? dont know owt about engines, just curious.

Thinking of buying vrs estate
mattstimpson replied to winslo's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
mines not the estate nor is it a vrs but ive had it lowered 40mm and some speed bumps are a very slow process. once even got stuck on a drop kerb. had to get out the car, missus and nephews aswell and push it off. sometimes wish i hadnt bothered, but then when i look, i think arr well. i like struggling. sorry for jabbering, no point to it either. do what you like mate. -

drive my brothers s2k quite often and it is in no way hard to drive. i find i can potter round town in third gear and when i need the power to overtake etc still in third, floor it and GRIN. wind it up to 8000 revs and again in forth and fifth then into sixth. you get what im trying to say. i love driving my own octy 1.9 tdi. but i love driving the s2k. its just a fun car.

Old Shape or New Shape Octavia
mattstimpson replied to Auric Goldfinger's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
must agree, its nice (the new one) but theres something i cant quite put my finger on. its just not... ...better looking. never driven a new on though, so cant comment on the ride. -
shows a picture in the sun news paper today of the new vrs and yes, thats definatly it. a touch dissapointed.
