I'll try and get better photo/s when I nip out @ 2 to catch the end of the race. Tour of Britain stage is finishing on the seafront right outside my office. These two are currently parked on the prom. Best my phone could do from a fair distance....

See post 25 @

If it ends up as a sprint finish you might be able to see how fast Mark Cavendish is compared to the mongrel

With all the commotion(sp?) today I elected to cycle down from home. Roads are shut everywhere around the office. I did wonder if I could join the track about 1/4 mile before the end, about a minute ahead of the racers and win it

There's around SIX out there parked up now. Off out in a bit as the weather is totally SPOT ON, and the Peleton is approaching Exmouth at around 2.30

1/4 mile and a minute in front?

I reckon they'd still catch ya

My money would be on Mark

My money would be on Mark

... but he's only got RWD; 4x4 loads better

But the Mongrel has a blowing turbo, 275bhp and its only FWD.......

Here are the rest of my shots taken once I got outside. Also got video of the sprint finish (not the best)! They sure go bloody fast!

The SHAME! Skoda sticker on a VW

Thats my office building right on the end of that row of terrace. The finish line was literally right on the doorstep lol

So judging by the pics there must be at least 8 Yetis following the tour...

7 TV cars and the commentator,

Plus all the Skoda team casts and the commissairs.

That's a whole load of great cars in the public eye

As far as I could tell the teams were using Octavia support cars, and the commentator was in the bronzey Yeti. The others were all sat at the finish line the whole day so suspect they were there for promotional, and maybe support for the setting up of the finish. It was a mammoth bit of work that went into making the seafront the finish line!

I love that tangerine colour - just lush !!!

I have to say the drivers of these Yeti's don't hang round. I followed TV 1 and TV 2 along the M54 the other day. I was doing 80 and I thought I'd broken down when they passed me.

Also becuase of the tour Skoda have no demo yeti's available so I've got to wait for a 48hr demo vehicle (

I hope you didn't get out to see what was wrong?

yes it is nice.

Got to admit though thats it looks more red than orange.

In fact it looks different in every picture that I see of the tangerine. :S

I notice the white Skoda yetis have the new Skoda Logo on the side.
