Having fun compiling all my video clips. First one is the "Church of Bones" about 50 miles outside Prague. Interesting history behind it. Essentially a mad monk dug up a whole cemetary and stored all the bones in this ossuary, making "art". THOUSANDS of people's remains in there!

      OK, here we go. As you can see, the DSG pulls a couple of car lengths on my manual, and from 40mph/50mph I am beginning to catch up again, and soon get past thanks to a strong 2nd and 3rd gear. I am

    OK - My next two are more Skoda themed. Firstly a sneaky look inside the storage facility where Skoda keep all their prototypes/one-offs, etc. Then the Doksy Skoda meet to get a taste of the way the Czechs like to modify their cars. :)

    Nice vids guys. Always thought getting cameras onto the ring was tough

    time for some pictures...

    everyone has a ring sticker, so I stuck a sticker on from the b&b we stayed at :) especially as it nicely covered the dent on my bumper from when tigger drove into me ;)

    Looks like you guys had a really good trip! Jealous now!

    Quick question about the 'ring...how come they don't like people taking cameras on there?

    anyone got any pics of the skoda museum visit

    The museum was just a "room" whilst they were gutting out and re-building the original museum room/s.

    I think this is why they took us out to the prototype storage place (video above) and made a much bigger factory tour (no cameras allowed)

    Quick question about the 'ring...how come they don't like people taking cameras on there?

    To many people using them to time laps, and quiet a lot having crashes as a result of trying to improve their time. During a few visits where I have been, there were a lot of major crashes and one death whilst I was there. A motorcyclist recording a lap, got it all wrong going into a corner and went over the armco at 3 figure speeds. The video, according to local press showed that he had the line wrong into the corner and made no attempt to brake, as a result went straight on.

    Next one is the RCN Touring Cars that we watched on the final morning before heading for the ferry. :) Like a budget version of the BTCC really, but with a wide range of classes.

    Nice vid's, nobody said you were taking Wurzel Gummidge with you though :giggle:

    Here is the changing of the guard at Prague Castle - noon one is a bit more special as it includes a band fanfare.

    right, time for an edited drag race video ... we were on an airfield, no fluffy animals were harmed in the making of this video!

    I am the camera car, fabia II vRS, to my right is the mongrel, to my left is the skud missile....

    and a request to jason, and you post the vid from your cars perspective please :)

    Drag race from the side.

    I left the police arriving in mine :)

    Really impressive. Jason has more power and I'm surprised how well the vRS held it's own given it's standard
