Hi there,

 

I thought it would be appropriate to do a short introduction before scavaging the topics here.

I am a 45 yr young male from The Netherlands, residing near Rotterdam. Coming Januari first thing I'll be receiving my first Skoda Octavia 3 Combi.

It is a 1.8 TSI 7DSG Style Business (not sure if you have the same types, but it is the highest trim) which I have had altered a little bit, at least the work is now in progress. For now just cosmetically, but if all works out, I'll see if the engine's potential can be brought to life...... I call it The Blue Shark, that is kind of a long story which I might tell later. It is quite personal.

I'm already a member of the Dutch Skoda Forum, but there is a lot of stuff on this forum that is not on the Dutch. Besides that, I like going international, the internet makes that possible so why not.

I suspect some of my fellow members of the Dutch forum are active here too.

 

It could be my English is not impeccable at times, please excuse me, I'm not a native speaker of the English language.

 

For now I'll add a picture of my O3, which isn't finished yet, but just for the impression.

I'll also state the options and accessories for whom it may concern.
