so yesterday i upped my game a bit due to the main route still being a bit flooded, i had to stay within the main roads. then this morning the flood gate was closed, so i really had to alter my route, but tacked on some extra distance you may also notice i set a new PR for 2 segments yeaterday, and then set new PR's on them again today

Skoda Kushaq
yup and my wife now has one parked outside our house... where i swore would never be (Seat Arona so very similar to this Kushaq but a bit shorter) in your opinion srane, will it be popular among those who can afford it in its target bracket?

11km today, even more flooding on the river side route, so ended up having to go out main road. head torch and hivis but still... lorries make the pedalling less fun. also finished the Le Col challenge so i got a voucher code for 58quid off some gear and a draw entry for 2900 quid worth must have a look at the fancy cycling gear.

Skoda Kushaq
is it not just a kamiq with some different lights? like how the mk2 octavia became a "Laura" in the indian market. ive not watched the videos. @srane4213 or @Burhan may be able to point us in the right direction for the indian market?

wonder could you get a plastic or rubber cover that would fit over it to make it look extra neat and possibly let mount it against something?

Reusing a router on another account

Speed ,i items to be fitted to all new cars by 2022
its not sovmuch the power as it is the torque to get out of trouble if thats the safest escape route. staged licensing makes sense. cutting peoples power when it may be needed is dangerous, so if thats the route being chosen there needs to be an option for a temporary manual override for emergency use - have it set you only get a max 5 overrides per 2000km driven

so... its been a bad week. knee oain last tuesday on the run forced a walking section, which was depressing. weather has been crap and spud jr waking up middle of the night teething meant i just couldnt face going out, esp as i was just expecting knee pain. so... this morning, i got out the bike at 7am and went peddling. quite happy with that, i gavnt pedalled as far in 20plus years. need to get some road tyres..

Superskoda GLS delivery issues
hi, yes anecdotally superskoda deliveries can become a bit.. protracted. also, there is the complications of covud and the umpact that is having on international shipping, and... of course the big dirty B word in terms of import duties and other paperwork type problems..

skoda superb white dust vent
hi Les, if you check and ask in the Superb section you will get a decent answer there. this is just the hello section, which lets people say hi and also helps limit the damage the occasional "spambot" signup postings do across the forum, they get stuck here which makes the clean up easier

Good bye....
we both test drove a manual kamiq aswell, it was what swmbo spottedlast week and liked the look of. i then spent a day convincing her that the arona was the same vehicle, but was available a bit older thus in budget. she found an arona in one nearby dealer we couldnt afford as it was only 1 yr old but wanted to test drive one anyway - it was an xcellence dsg in silver with 5500km on it. she really liked it, drove the manual kamiq same day and preferred the dsg. a little googling and a phone call to a seat dealer up the road.. "i have 6 of them ill send through the details" and after some chatting and back and forth between a couple of dealers with similar models we got a massive discount on it, so its now hers i have to say its a really nice place to sit. nicer than the kamiq, esp as the infotainment is built into the dash fully, instead of the weird half pedestal dust trap setup in the kamiq...
