Or course, it's only a model one. I was surprised when they asked me whether I wanted a hatch or estate and, get this, what colour I wanted! I asked if they also did different trim levels, but the parts bloke just looked at me blank.

I was told I'd have it in a couple of days, I'm assuming they must have them in stock and I don't have to wait for a factory order. :-)

I got one of those...a nice black Octavia hatch...its even got the pegasus wheels! ;o)

If you're looking for models I can recommend Welcome To Modelenium Not many Skodas but LOADS of other stuff.

Search For 'skoda'

Maybe you should have asked for Maxidot, Jumbo box and parking sensors as well

I have a 1:72 Silver Estate just like the one in my Sig only difference is the model has the pegasus wheels.

Where did you get it from? The Toy Warehouse only seems to have hatchbacks - I would like to get a model of my car (Sahara Beige Estate). I don't suppose they do Ford Zodiacs as well do they?...

Please ignore my previous question. I have just found a Sahara Beige Estate on the Toy Warehouse website (and ordered it) and mine was only

Thats very cheap:thumbup:

It arrived today (Tuesday), very impressive since I only ordered on Thursday and there has been a bank holiday weekend in between.

It has the same alloys as my real car, the fog lights and even the twin exhaust:) , BUT there must have been a mix-up at the factory - they have sent me a left-hand drive one...!:eek:

Aye, All my models are LHD as well.

Spot the difference! I really should get out more...

^^^^^^^^^^^ The wheels are different

So they are! I hadn't noticed that - I'd better send it back. LHD AND the wrong wheels? What are these people playing at?!!

On Saturday received an offer from my selling dealer. " a Skoda of my choice at dealer cost plus 0ne pound". They are short on their bonus target and claim to need another 20 sales to hit it, so there is obviously a factory registration push going on this month.
