Afternoon all,

 

Had an ex-rental Mk3 Octavia for a couple of years now, but only just found about the forum. Would post pics, but it's currently in the bodyshop after an argument with an Astra at a roundabout, resulting in damage to the rear bumper and destroyed parking sensors.  :(  The Astra came off worse though, managing to cave in his radiator when he hit me.    

 

Bodyshop offered me a Micra, Aygo or i10 as a courtesy car...At 6'3 and built like a brick you know what, that wasn't exactly feasible, so a trip to a local car hire firm later saw me drive out with a brand spanking new i30, courtesy of a free upgrade. (Insurer would only pay for a Corsa, but they bumped me to the category above).

 

Anyway, that's enough waffle, I'll go and hide back under my rock now 

 

Cheers,

 

Barry

Hi Barry.

 

How's the i30? We hired one in Norway, 4 people 30kgs luggage each, it did amazingly well we felt.

 

Sad to hear of bumpers woes, but it did the job Reminds me of a 6 car shunt on M6, my Octavia was the only one to drive away, helped being the head of the shunt. Must be the luck of the badge Good luck with the repairs!
