Thrilled to bits

Started car ownership many years ago with a very basic 850cc Mini which had a starter button on the floor, sliding windows and a cord for opening the door. Progressed through a couple of Mini GTs then on to a couple of 2 ltr Opel Mantas, then a couple of 3 ltr, straight 6 Vauxhall Carlton GSi, then two 3ltr, straight six Vauxhall Senators and lastly, for the past ten years, a Mazda 6 diesel. I loved all these cars and they served me well

A week ago I bought a Skoda Superb Technology diesel automatic 2018 plate and I've been amazed at the comfort, the roominess, the "toys", the power and smooth gear changes. The Senators that I owned had enough "oomph" to be scary, but I think the Superb has even more. It seems to be a "sheep in wolf's clothing - very sedate in town, but off like rocket when needs be.

I've already learned a few things from the Forum like, twitching the steering wheel to restart the engine when in stop/start and I'm sure I'll pick up many more tips along the way
