First of all, I'm so glad to see such a great forum and community for us Skoda owners. Thanks to all of you for making this such an awesome site! I'm looking forward to getting to know you all a bit better, hopefully I can contribute here and there. To all you fellow Norwegians out there, hei!

Ok, enough with the ranting already. My name is Christian, I'm Norwegian ... and totally new to the Skoda world. I've more or less always driven VAG, but this is my first ever Skoda. Me and my better half recently ordered a brand new Skoda Octavia L&K 4X4 TDI Estate 2011. The cardealer has told me to come pick it up on Monday 20th Wednesday 22nd, so we're really looking forward to that.

So, about the car ...

- Skoda Octavia L&K (Laurin & Klement) 4X4 TDI CR Estate 2011 (1Z)

• 1.6 I/77 kW TDI CR,
• Brilliant Silver Metallic,
• Black Alcantara upholstery,
• 17” ‘Cepeus’ alloys (225/45/17),
• "4X4" kickplates,
• 4 spoke multi-function steering wheel for radio and telephone with bluetooth,
• Cruise-Control,
• MDI (Mobile Device Interface),
• Columbus’ Sat Nav System and navigation DVD with TMC, 8 speaker setup and all the other gubbins,
• Xenon headlights with AFS II,
• Acoustic front and rear parking sensors,
• Auto dimming rear view mirror, rain sensor and light assistant (coming home and tunnel light),
• Independent heating for diesel engines (no more scraping ice of windows, I hope),
• Electrically adjustable driver's seat with memory function,
• Electrically adjustable, heated and foldable door mirrors with memory function,
• Electric sunroof,
• Sunset dark rear windows,
• Heated light washers for those awesome Norwegian winters,
• Detachable towbar,

• Ah, and that great 5 year/100 000 km warranty that comes with all new Skodas sold in Norway.

Oh, and a little picture of the car taken by the cardealer:

Hi & welcome!

Look forward to seeing pictures of your car in a beautiful part of the world.

Don't think we can get the 4x4 in L&K spec in the UK.

Hi and welcome aboard.

Welcome to Briskoda.

Nice looking Octavia.

Hello and Welcome to Briskoda

Thanks for the feedback, folks!

I was supposed to go pick up the new beauty today, but sadly the plates didn't arrive as planned. So, I am now hoping for a more positive call tomorrow. I just can't wait!

Welcome to the forum

Thanks guys!

I've finally been able to get some shots of our new darling. I'll throw in a little teaser here:
