Cracking cars...

I had a vRS SE in Race Blue for 3 years...never felt the need to lower it, play about or ruin it...just a PD160 inlet and a Tuning box.
175 BHP, 270 lb-ft of torque...and 45 MPG when driven with a heavy right foot.
Cracking little cars...
Even with the comedy ride height, Skoda got the damping right...you can get the back end moving on them far easier than on most VW understeer chariots.

Nice choice.

Reducing my Golf count by the week....
..but gaining motorcycles.

Keep your hands warm whilst pushing it.


However modern Skoda's are no longer a joke.
