I'd challenge the word 'great' here and replace with a few others I can think of. 'Hunchback' is probably the first one that comes to mind.

 

But maybe that's just me! ;-)

[vrskeith]

Very fortunate guy -if only!

same 0-60 as me oil burner.

 

Would have thought an RS4 would have done better with an extra 130hp over me.

[Wardy]

That's an RS6. And it wins because it's not powered purely by NOx emissions

Really... does that matter? you are another that hangs onto every word of the government? Until the government themselves stop using Diesel vehicles via Ambulance services, Police Services, Prison Services... Then they get rid of all diesel buses, and lorries.....

Then the government educate people into the fact that the most polluting period of ANY vehicle is the manufacturing process, that coupled with the fact we are incentified to change our vehicles via PCP every 3 years. Should we not be rewarded for keeping a 12 year car on the road, and not producing 4 cars in this time.... Yes we should but we know its all about business and nothing to do with health or environment.

NOx is fertiliser, they told me about the nitrogen cycle at school, plants love me.

 

You got me on the RS6 though

Oh dear goodness, it was said in jest.

 

If you want, have a look back through my profile and Briskoda car history will you - it goes back to 2005. It's all diesel, bar two. I make that 5 diesel Skodas.

The Fabia vRS MK2 still looks a cracking little hot hatch, ahead of it's time . Saw two ,near my place,  over the weekend in the original marketing Green.

Both still in top condition (hopefully engine okay) on 10 and 60 plates.

 

Down the road from us is the base and sales place for the mini Marcos and other Marcos variants.

Will try and get some photos soon.

[KenONeill]

@Awayoffski - Is that a real Nova or a replica?

[Ootohere]

I assumed it was a replica just due to the VW gear knob but no idea sorry.

Edited 22 May, 2017 by Awayoffski

[KenONeill]

@Awayoffski - Ah right; the Nova is a 2-seater coupe based on a VW Type 1 floorpan, which explains the gear knob logo. Because of its looks, the styling was ripped off several times.

[Ootohere]

Porsche & Ferrari's are nice but 10 a penny, nice Hillman Imps are much rarer.

Edited 25 June, 2017 by Awayoffski

[KenONeill]

Nice Imp, and indeed nice Bentley Continental, even is someone has abandoned a piece of modern rubbish in front of it!

[Ootohere]

His & Hers. 

One of their sons business.

Saw a 458 spider yesterday, in a not quite red, not completely orange kind of colour 

[vrskeith]

Bring back the minimoke BMW. A real mini, not a bloated jelly mould as current.

 

Great attempt Skoda apprentices.
