So, front door bell goes, there stands our good old postman (and I do mean old!!).

 

He says, Skodas used to be known as skips buts yours looks amazing, really nice car, just had to tell you!

 

Go figure eh,...my 63 plate VRS TSI has even managed to impress the good old posty!

Nice one, it's surprising how many positive comments I have received.

Yep, the older posties will do anything (& everything) to stop getting back to the Delivery Office early and being asking to do MORE work.

On the day I got mine my neighbour said that I could call him anytime that I needed a tow home or a push-start. I told him that Skoda's are not like that anymore, but of course he knew this anyway.

 

He had a good giggle last Saturday (10 days from new) when the RAC were parked outside my house because of a leaky VRS radiator. My wife even commented that her Renault has never seen the RAC/AA in 6 years of ownership.

 

Maybe things are going backwards again .

Maybe,....although my brand new Renault Clio RS 1.6 turbo broke down 8 times and nearly tried to kill me twice so I'll take me chances on the Skoda
