Follow up to the Czech Article on the Yeti, they obviously saw the video from Snetterton.

Apparently I am "Crazy Brit".

 

Got that bit right then  

[Slotty]

Czech and Polish are very similar languages so I was able to read and understand what they said there...

 

I can confirm that they definitely called you the "Crazy Brit" and they also called your Yeti a "Track Terrorist"

[Robshaw]

Totally bonkers, well done!

It needs a sticker on the back saying "the real godzilla"

No, that's what R32 owners say to R35 owners.

Hunting time...

 

 

You want to be careful posting photos like this where your registration is visible. If Skoda see it, they might void your warranty

Is there any way of attaching a cuddly Yeti to the rear window in a mocking gesture for when you go past people?

[Dark_Hero]

Or a child seat in the back

I think Richard could run to that

I think Richard could run to that

Fair point maybe he will even manage to persuade skoda to let him make it and give its own heart himself, build-a-bear style

Beautiful build, we are not only grateful for this mega threat on Briskoda but the Dutch love it,

Beautiful translation.... we are not only grateful for this mega threat..... that is one thing the Yeti can be called . It is a threat to more prestige brands in and around tracks and to Billy Big Balls who has one (and his sanity).

With it's middle finger up perhaps?

 

:p

Having played catchup & seen Video, a little tweak to sort gears out & a bit more practice / confidence in he car, I am sure you will be giving the GTR a harder time next time.

 

Put the rear seats back & parcel shelf & anyone just looking in will think it has just had a roll bar modification    

 

Never mind the Yeti on the back window - How about one of those stick on waving hands. lol 

[magic62]

In stead of all those Baby on board Stickers, just put one on the back saying:

Eres on board   (sounds like a foreign kids name)

Spotted at Castle Combe Circuit...

 

 

More info, update and track session videos tomorrow.

Long day, but great day.

Great reaction to the Yeti and great time spent with the Briskoda crowd.

How are the tyres holding up to the extra power and what's the on-track fuel consumption like with the new engine?

 

Looks like you had a great time and I loved Lloyd's helmet-cam footage.

It's eating a set of tyres after about 2.5 hours of track time.

Fuel consumption is surprisingly good for the power, was doing about 3 gallons per session at Combe, which is around 15 miles I think.  Might be a bit longer.

I'm amazed i actually overtook the Yeti.........

.........it was on the M4 on the way home though.

Never mind the cost, how much does a cuddly yeti weigh?!

This thread, and the related stuff on Facebook has prompted me to dig out my Brisky password and actually post for the first time in ages. (I still drive a Mk1 Fabia, but haven't posted a lot lately.)

I think the car is awesome, and I love the idea of all that power and performance in something that looks so much like a stock Yeti.

Although I suspect the intention behind spending all that money on a car wasn't to entertain random strangers on the internet, it's certainly brightened up my week and I bet I'm not the only one.

Mr BossFox, I salute you.

Someone found the exhaust:
