Will narrow it down quite a bit though. I thought I recognised the style but couldn't place it.... Not in my collection

Hildebrandt brothers?

Looks Blue Oyster Cult or Boston ish, but I'm pretty sure its neither of those :think:

Caffyns Ashford has a white demonstrator - it makes it look a bit taller than the silver one in the same spec (SE, 17" alloys, etc.)

Elegance TSI in Corrida Red (his and hers matching cars on the drive ), Ivory interior (plus Supaguard!) Options: Spare wheel, rear parking sensors, rear seat armrest (aka child divider) Anything else seemed unnecessary (or unnecessarily expensive) for a four mile each way daily commute....

No change as of today.......

Obviously not different enough.. Back to you

Cheers Swordstroke, quite possibly the music taste I think.... And now for something a bit different:

De-iced the inside of the screen on SWMBO's Fabia .... Hopefully dried it out too!

Would it be John Martyn, Grace and Danger?

Indeed it is ljp01 Over to you...

Thank you - this one sprang to mind:

That would be: Wishbone Ash Live Dates

Cheers!

Cool! Now I know where my Uncle went wrong all those years ago! :peek:

Probably not - my Mark 1 Octavia ended up running with the EML light on all the time because the sensor would pick up condensation and trigger the EML - it would be reset at a service and within 150 miles be back on. After several abortive attempts to stop it happening (including two replacement sensors in a week) I ended up living with it to the point that the EML went out once and I panicked and rushed it straight in to be checked.

Wish I'd learnt Czech at school

That was what attracted me to it - I wanted something that would be similar to my old mark 1 Octavia - the running costs on the 105 petrol look sensible, the styling is fresh and yet has something of the old Octavia about it, and it definitely felt roomier for the rear passengers

Certainly will - I'm hoping that it will live up to the standard set by my old Octavia - how I wish I hadn't replaced that!

Today the status 10 build week is week 51...... Could be mid January delivery....

Not sure on the pricing strategy vs SEAT, as the Toledo and Rapid are pretty much matched price for price..... And that will be sitting between the Ibiza and the 2013 Leon as the Rapid sits between Fabia and 2013 Octavia

I've ordered one, with 3 months delivery. We spent a while looking at possible new cars ended up with a short-list of 1.2TSI because of the combination of performance, running costs and proven/reliable technology. Looked at the Leon SE Copa, Fabia Estate and Rapid. The Rapid felt better to drive for me and was more comfortable with five adults for the road test, possibly because of the longer wheelbase? Even with the weedy 86PS version of the engine it performed more willingly and eagerly than the Leon! We also found the interior open and spacious, especially compared to the back of the Leon. For my needs the Rapid appears to be the best car on the market right now.

Hi I've just joined Briskoda. I've had quite a long association with Skoda - my Uncle owned an Estelle and then a Favorit, my previous car was an Octavia Estate and my wife's is a Fabia. I've just ordered a Rapid Elegance only 3 months to wait.....
