Hi, just bought my very first Skoda, as my criterias was 4x4, spacious and some ground clearance, the decision fell on a black 2008 Skoda Octavia Scout.

Well happy with the car, but mods will follow. Started off slightly with getting the chrome grille black  :p

Welcome to Briskoda. Diesel or petrol?

Oh I forgot to put in that its a oilburner, dont think any petrol Scouts have been sold in Norway. Not that I have seen for sale anyway. 

We got our politicians and their Diesel Crusade to thank for that (which have now turned to anti-diesel crusade). 

Just mind the Polish drivers in the trucks coming from the fish factories near the fjords. They can never make it up the hills with no tread on their tyres ;-)

Yea, unfortunately. There is always a great number of trucks being pulled over driving on slicks and missing snow chains, every winter, beside the obvious ones that are stuck or littering the ditches.
