As some of you know I'm a little obsessed with rear engined Skodas. My obsession got a little out of hand so a while ago one of my friends [who's obsession with old Land Rovers got a little out of hand] and I set up a workshop in an delapidated old barn....it's not pretty, but ideal for our old crap. I spend far too much time there! :love:

Told you it was delapidated and crap!

Nice to see some of the 'original' Skodas in very good condition and being very well looked after.

Very envious.  How I dream a pipe dream for a barn like that to escape to!

Can't see any 'crap', just things that need playing with.

Gaz

Very jealous, mind you the number plate on the black soft top could be seen as slightly ironic

wee bit off topic but I heard Skoda are reviving the Rapid name for a new car to sit between the Fabia and Octavia ranges - any truth in that?

Yes, they are. It'll be released here at the end of the year!

Nice Barn Dave,

My dream place, Landy's and Skoda's, all you need is a few 2 wheeled machines.

What a great little collection and being a Fun fan, particularly like the ones of yellow distinction

_{If only I could have something similar - my existing single garage isn't anywhere near big enough for the stuff I've got in there (MX5 and tools plus other hoarded stuff!) let alone anything like your collection...}

It's quite a nice set up, has electric, water and we've fitted a spray booth in there, it's fairly well equipped. It's not much to look at and the roof leaks here and there and it's rather cold in the winter but it's perfect for me! It's quite literally a barn in a field. There's been quite a few old Skodas saved that otherwise wouldn't have been by what we do in there.

Can't see any 'crap'

The peugeot?

Google the missonL concept, Rapid is its production name.

Dave, awesome work.

Still think you should get a tidy one running and sell it to me

Oh and the missus wants to know if either of the campers are road legal, we need a holiday

The campers aren't mine!

The Barn's ripe for conversion to a house and attached garage in my opinion. Just need to convince the Planners.

Looks like a lot of fun : would like to have a nose around that barn

when I rule the world, and you all bow before me, every man shall be entitled to an old barn full of old cars

A very special barn Sir! I like that a lot

when I rule the world, and you all bow before me, every man shall be entitled to an old barn full of old cars

Hurry up and get on with these plans then, would love to have to place like that to just go and tinker.

All those in favour?
