The Professionals Filming Locations
Often left unattended at the roadside Mind you, 40Kph max towing limit I think so a swift getaway is unlikely without a flat-bed

The Professionals Filming Locations
I was thinking of visiting some of the Auf Wiedersehen, Pet locations next year as I'm close to where it was mostly filmed (It wasn't Düsseldorf) I pass this block on a daily basis Where the blue mobile hut is is now a row of shops. The flats are on a busy 4 way junction.

125 years of Skoda
115 years of automotive engineering in Mladá Boleslav: In December 1905 Laurin & Klement presented the Voiturette A › In December 1905, the Laurin & Klement Voiturette A laid the foundation stone for 115 years of automotive engineering at the Mladá Boleslav site › In 2020 ŠKODA AUTO celebrates the 125th anniversary of its foundation in 1895 Mladá Boleslav, 3 December 2020 – In December 1905 Václav Klement and Václav Laurin presented their first automobile to the public, the Laurin & Klement Voiturette A. With this car, the two founders continued on from their successful production of bicycles and motorbikes 115 years ago and at the same time laid the foundation for future automobile production at the Mladá Boleslav site. Since that time, the Czech car manufacturer’s portfolio has been characterised by innovative vehicles and technologies. ŠKODA currently produces ten model series and is pursuing its transition from a traditional car manufacturer to a ‘Simply Clever company for the best mobility solutions’.

Meon Hut Meet #89 7pm on the 08/12/2020
I *think* it can still potentially go ahead but you'll need to keep to the rule of six as West Meon is in tier 2 Tier 2 Restrictions West Meon and the whole of Hampshire will enter Tier 2 when the national lockdown finishes on 2nd December 2020. This means that we will have to comply with the following rules until further notice: You must not socialise with anyone you do not live with or who is not in your support bubble in any indoor setting, whether at home or in a public place. You must not socialise in a group of more than 6 people outside, including in a garden or a public space – this is called the ‘rule of 6’. Businesses and venues can continue to operate, in a COVID-Secure manner, other than those which remain closed by law, such as nightclubs. Pubs and bars must close, unless operating as restaurants. Hospitality venues can only serve alcohol with substantial meals. Hospitality businesses selling food or drink for consumption on their premises are required to: provide table service only, in premises which sell alcohol close between 11pm and 5am (hospitality venues in airports, ports, transport services and motorway service areas are exempt) stop taking orders after 10pm http://www.westmeonpc.org.uk/community/west-meon-parish-council-13628/coronavirus---covid-19/

Back after a break
Awesome and welcome back. Looks like December 2020 has been a bit of a bummer so far for you. Love the MkI and miss mine still. Pretty easy to work on and if you need any workshop PDF's to help I know a chap

Headlight adjustment
If the headlight adjuster motor is anything like the MkI type, then sometimes the ball part of the motor can get brittle and snap off inside the socket part that moves the reflector up and down. Had it myself once; the ball part was a PITA to get out. The pic below will help explain. It's like a shoulder joint - the ball part I mean is white on the left.

Is my Superb a 1Z, 3T, 3U or 3V?
What's also on the VIN is where it was built e.g. MB is Mladea Boleslav in the Czech Republic. Second and third letters after the T.

FTTP
Ta. Not something I had to deal with when copper/ fibre jointing DSLAM's. Next Q then would be is it full fat FTTP or is it FTTC and a copper 'final mile' connection? Full fat FTTP shouldn't really have any contention problems nowadays but to avoid the possibility a business line/ contract would be better but pricey. If you're a home user then there's very little gain for the financial pain apart from maybe getting faults sorted quicker.
-
FTTP
Can you elaborate. Your question's a bit open. Yes, I know the difference between BT Retail, Wholesale etc. Is 'contention' a typo? What are your requirements?

Interesting stats on the decline of filling stations in the UK
Where I am, a small town of 26,000 people, there's 14 or 15 supermarkets (Aldi, Lidl, Rewe, Edeka, Real and Kaufland) but none have a petrol station. I did a count and there's 9 Tankstelle. Jet, Aral X 2, Shell X 2 and four indies. One nearby Famila has a petrol station but the other local Famila's don't. Do they have more supermarkets with petrol stations down your way, Phil?

Keyboards
I'm using an 11 year old Microsoft Digital Media 3000 so that's probably of no help but it's been a great keyboard. I actually dismantled it a couple of months ago, vacuumed the innards and then washed the keyboard part and the silicone part in the sink in soapy water. The rest was given a wipe over with almost pure alcohol and it's come up like new. I've also got a German layout Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600 which I've yet to dismantle but is quieter and was fairly cheap (€12) I tend to go for things which can be torn down rather than sealed unit stuff.

Foggy windows
It usually comes in an aerosol can. Turn the engine and A/C on in Recirculate mode, set to come out of the dash flaps and floor (NOT front screen), get out of the car, place canister in the rear (on the transmission tunnel or in the rear centre cup holder, activate, close all doors and remain outside the car while the A/C 'inhales and exhales' the disinfectant or A/C freshener for ~ 10 minutes. If you're in Croatia you may have Sonax or Nigrin products. Either will do.

Two tv progs that may interest
I watched the Sports Cars one on Quest; not too bad and an unsurprising winner. I mean, they've been constantly refining and tuning it since the 60's. I did see an ad on Quest during it for a prog called Motor Pickers which just looks like a rehash of the ITV car show from a few years ago (I forget the title now) even down to chalking the price on the windscreens. Premise; person wants used car, presenter offers three or four used cars, person has to choose a winner.

How to unlock skoda kodiaq with out keys

Sprint Yellow....
Same colour just different codes Might be worth trying a machine polish first to bring it back.

A scam I presume
I once had a penalty notice via email from New York Dept of Transportation

Strange Traffic Light
Curious as to why oncoming traffic would need a light where there's a no entry sign. Edit. Bottom one could be for cyclists as there's a cycle lane

You know all those new and used cars we haven't been buying during lockdown ...
