Hello everyone,

 

My name is Peter and I just took delivery of my brand new Octavia III Elegance Estate with the 1.6 CR engine (and a few other extras). The car was coming off stock at Marlborough West London so I didn't have to wait for it.

 

I have recently moved to the UK after 5 years around the world in expat positions. Literally around the world; have lived for two years in Switzerland, moved to Ghana and the last 2.5 years I spent in Papua New Guinea. In "the bush" I was driving company cars ranging from a Lancer to a Toyota Land Cruiser 70-series, to a 3.0 D-4D Hilux pick-up (or as they call these over there: ute).

 

While planning moving to the UK my target car was a Superb but shortly after arriving in the UK I figured it might just be too large a car for living in London. Originally coming from Eastern Europe the price/value ratio of the brand is just unrivalled. And of course, I have an emotional link to Skodas as my very first car was a...

 

1990 Skoda Favorit 136. I have some pictures, I may dig them out some time haha.

 

I am not new to internet forums, I'm quite active on travel forums. I am looking forward to learning about Skodas and meeting people in the community.  

Welcome

Hi and welcome aboard.
