Hello again, picking up the new car this week. 3rd Skoda, comes after Superb Elegance and a MK2 VRS.

Same colour as mine, the best, and a Black Spoiler

 

Congratulations

Wow!

Looks lovely! You go for any extras beyond Black Pack Plus?

Looks great  congrats 

 

dsg?

Couldn't you wait for a new lights?

Thanks everyone.

 

ahenners it has a winter pack on it, which is handy.

 

biggy7 it is a manual diesel.

 

 toni8b it is a pre registered 1 with a few miles on it so I got a good deal, I'm not that fussed about new lights.

Winter pack is a great choice! My heated seats are on most days at the minute and the heated screen is excellent for both defrosting and demisting.

Looks awesome collected ours Saturday and extremely pleased, wish I could have ordered options especially the winter pack 

Very nice.

 

And I'm pleased to see you didn't succumb to the snowflake mentality of obscuring your number plate (whatever purpose that serves).

 

Apologies if I've triggered anyone.

Why are you pretending to apologise when you are deliberately trying to wind people up?

Because it's a genuine apology?

 

Like it or not, snowflakes are part and parcel of our society these days.

Very nice. The grey seems to suit the car very well.

Similar to the 'sorry not sorry' generation.

Some people have a strange obsession with the word 'snowflake' it would appear. Can't they come up with an alternative term of endearment?

 

Run along now, there's a good lad.

Etymologically speaking the word has an interesting history but its original honourable use has been corrupted by various somewhat dubious groups both left and right of centre so it basically means 'anyone who does not agree with me'.

Or more pithily described by someone as:

"Snowflake is used by people who are incapable of using their intellect and their words to make their point in an intelligent manner".

 

Deletion of a number plate in a published photo seems a sensible action if you are going to fit something like a DTUK box that may invalidate a warranty... or similar.

 

Nice car by the way

If some scumbag wanted to 'clone' the registration number of a 'legit' Octavia, to fit fake plates to an identical stolen one, where do you think the best place to find the reg of a matching car might be? 

 

Threads like these are ideal for them, along with Autotrader, eBay Motors, etc.

 

Blanking reg numbers is not exactly a case of 'privacy', more just sensible internet use/policy.
