Had my 280 L&K 6 months,and see my first combi today,gran canaria,was in the canarian taxi colours of white with red roof and looked bloody lovely,taxi drivers love there skoda's here,they are everwhere,some have huge mileage on them as ive witnesed.good to see.perhaps gizmo wont remove my post as he did the previous one,its shoved in the octavia 111 section.it might not be of interest to you,might be to others,i am part of the club gizmo.kevin and the clan.

That's changed a fair bit taxi wise than when I was last there (97!) nearly all mercs then with the odd Laguna, enjoy your Holiday.

When I asked, You said it was an Octavia which is why I moved it to the relevant section, you started by saying you saw a Superb (and nothing else about it) but quickly drifted onto how the taxi driver had put 500K (300K miles) on his OCTAVIA 

 

If you don’t wish your posts to be moved then at least make it relevant to the section you are posting it in, we don’t go looking for work.

 

The lack of a space after the punctuation didn’t exactly make for easy reading, but I guessed you were posting from a mobile (not really an excuse) so I ignored that.

Yes lucky me,soaking up the rays in the canaries,lots of skoda taxi's kicking about,including a mark 111 superb combi,didnt take long!! A canarian taxi driver when asked by us if he liked the octavia he was driving us in replied,i wouldnt drive any thing else,and promptly showed us the odometer,chin hit the floor,over 500k!! So if any of you have youre doubts about buying a skoda,just ask a canarian cab driver!! Back to the vino.kevin and the crew.

Sorry guv,i will try harder with my punctuation,i didnt do to well at school,but i havent done to bad since i left and started work.The thread was more to share with the guys and girls on this forum that as a brand,skoda has a strong following all over the world,and it brings a smug smile that i bought my superb,and not a merc/audi/bmw to join my mini cooper,volvo V40 and the summer triumph stag,as the canarian cab drivers have, as somebody else said,not that long ago it was all mercs ferrying people around over in gran canaria,now skoda is the main brand,heres hoping that the superb111 combi i see,has a long hard working life in the sun.good advertisement for them.kevin.
