Yeah pleased I made the top spot, feels like a historic moment, perhaps I will win a sarcastic comment award from one of my followers, joking!

update.... car still at the dealers (now been with them 2 weeks.) still can't be released still no further forward with getting it released.  Still no firm time frame for collection/delivery.   Skoda uk have it looks like agreed to foot the bill to deliver it but even thats unclear.  very frustraiting.

If you're near it check out the Evo triangle! My wife and I did it last year in the CR140 Tiguan and it wasn't a bad drive haha!

Apparently there is a dispute between the dealer and the finance side over price. they can't release until they have resolved it. Im like thats your problem stop making it mine...

The A470 in Wales what a great driving road, SWMBO always screaming at me to SSSLLLOOOWWWW down, or ARAF as the locals like to say!

Stopping in Rhyl. There was a booking for a lovely apartment but got cancelled yesterday. A week before Easter wknd...not happy.

 

Anyway it would appear the evo triangle isn't that far away......might have to make an excuse to the women for me and me mate to slip out for a couple of hours.

It’s still 1970 in Rhyl isn’t it?

Its actually a VRS 265 you are picking up not a 245....  Nothing to do with it being a Czech Auto published article... 

 

For the people picking up their new cars. Worth a read but you need google chrome to read and translate...
