Or in my case, "Staropramen Prosim" :dtp: mmmm beer

Just had an email of a Czech bloke I wrote to asking for details of the 2004 tour and apparently the UK owners club are gonna get in touch with me, so if anyone is interested let me know and I'll pass on any details.

Had a quick look at ferry prices to Demark today.

Was really impressed that they were only

I'd make a point of driving all the way.

Best bet is to get a eurotunnel at an off-peak time when they're quite cheap. - I'd love to have a crack at more EU driving after my little stint to Germany before.

I did France this year through the tunnel and was amazed how much less hassle it was than the ferry.

Loads of Skodas in France, also noticed they don't have VW or Skoda or Audi dealers thay are all just VAG dealers.

i could be interested in this could you pm me any details to show to swmbo?

Not found that to be the case where Ive been - a lot do in Prauge - outside of there and you tend to be the your on your own. If you can speak German you will be able to comunicate. Although Czech people are not too enamered by Germans unfortunately. A good phrase to learn is "I am not German Im English" - it does help.

Sunday and Ill be there again - not far from Vrchlabi

John,

I've always been told the language barrier would not be a problem, but admittedly the limited number of Czech's i know speak english, so they would say that wouldn't they ? lol

As for the anti-German sentiment, i know about this already, i've had many hours of fun playing Fawlty Towers soundbites down the phone..

"Don't mention the war !" etc

Enjoy your trip

I could be up for this too. Would be something a bit different!

As soon as I get anything back off the Skoda owners clubs I'll let everyone know.

If you're interested email or PM me then I have a record of who to send the details to.

Unless ColinD is happy for me to post all the stuff on here.

Not every year in CZ next year 2004 in Denmark' date=' I have been going for quite a few years, the 2005 tour is likely to in either Slovakia or Poland, its down to the countries proving there case to the International commitee. It returns every few year to CZ, where it was held in 2003. Have been attending the tours driving to CZ and other countries for many years in numerous cars including estelles, rapids and favorits.

The tour is organised by the various Skoda owners clubs in Europe officially recongnised, including Denmark Germany England,Russia, Poland,Sweden, CZ & Holland.

I join other owners from the Skoda Owners Club GB attending the tours.

Just joined Briskoda so know nothing about Brits going on Skoda tours in Europe. Noticed you mentioned Holland. When and where was it, is it, will it be ??

My wife and I normally spend our annual hols visiting friends all over Holland.

Perhaps we could include the tour in our schedule.

Info please.

There is no schedule at the moment for Holland, its not been held in Holland before although it has been mentioned in previous years that one might be held there. People from the Holland Club do attend other International venues.
