Greetings to all Briskodians! I have owned a Roomster for a little less than a year, and have been reading the forum too. And finally overcame all doubts and resolved on joining in. So, greetings to all once more!!!

When visiting UK a week ago, did not see a single Roomster, though. Just one new Fabia in Baslow. Octavias are quite common, in contrast. Just like elsewhere - roomster appears a niche model...

hi and welcome to briskoda... octavia's common? never...

Welcome

Damn good written English too

This from half-Russian half-Roumanian born in UK - so I know how hard it is (1st spoke English when I went to school at 4).

Hi and welcome to Briskoda

Welcome to Briskoda.

Thanks for the warm welcome!!!

apsveicam ar ierašanos Briskoda!

I've only seen two or three Roomsters on the road so far , though I did park behind one last night.

Welcome to Briskoda

Hiya. I've not see too many Roomsters here either, but it is still a fairly new model here, unlike the Fabia and Octavia.

To Muppit: Paldies!

Well, as to Octavias - common or not, at least I saw some. But not a single Roomster during my stay in the UK. In Riga I do see them (aside from my own) quite often. Mainly as company cars with all kinds of decals, though. And in Tallinn saw one used as a taxi. Yet last year, when I just bought mine, it gave a pleasant feeling to see others turn their heads - Roomster was a rare sight.

I say I've not seen "too many"; I'd say the number's still in single figures, and I've covered a fair part of Scotland.

And they say the Skoda factory barely copes with the incoming orders. Where do all those Roomsters go after all?

I have no idea. With the popularity of the Octavia on the taxi market, I'd have thought the Roomster was a "shoe-in" there, but no, all the Skoda taxis I see are still Octys.
