Hi all

Just got back from a trip to Prague and managed to visit the Factory and Museum at Mlada Boleslav , pics to follow. Its a shame you cant take pics in the factory , as I saw a lovely Rallye Green Octavia vRS being built on the Octavia line - we dont get that in the UK do we? I certainly havent seen one on the road. Anyway here goes.

Skoda Practik , aka Roomie van! Another car we dont get , I presume?

I took this as I own a Dynamic Blue Mk1 - however they seem to love the Sedan version over there.

Thats all folks! I hope you enjoy the pics - I reccomend the trip to Mlada Boleslav. If you are ever in Prague on a Thursday , there are bus tours that run on this day only from the city centre. Thanks for looking!

I enjoyed all your photos, the classic Skodas get my Thanks for posting them up.

No worries!

Thanks for the excellent pics, highlights for me being the Rapid Coupe as a 136 model was our first of many Skoda's and I was quite taken by the little Sprint Yellow Fabia II FL; very similar to our Pacific Blue one we are waiting for. Shame my good lady would not entertain the yellow as I think it suits the styling of the FL.

Youre welcome and I agree with you regarding the Fabia FL , it does suit Yellow , especially with the Sunset Glass option!
