Sorry EY for taking the thread off topic.

Enjoy your new Skoda Ben.

no apology needed to me, Ben's obviously proud of what he has bought, we wish him all the best with it

He must think he's a mod or something!

It's a thread about a Skoda - it started off topic. By talking about Land Rovers we're bringing it on topic!

I really wish him the best of luck with his Skoda, they are very well built, reliable cars and would happily own one like his. I would change the black wheels though.

Take a hit because of the colour....if that is the only worry in about 6 years time bring it on I just want some reliability
Colour is such a massive subject and what floats one persons boat won't float someone else's.
That is why we have so many colours.

I picked it because it firstly says different and secondly I will always be able to see it in a car park

I had planned to keep the FL2 for a similar duration but could not keep pouring money in it, especially at the rate it did for me

I still have my trusty Defender 90 for proper bad weather etc
Cheers

I like it ben, good luck with it mate.
who's is the other skoda that's the same colour in the reflection on your car :  BETTER looking half of the famous Twinlanders

I think it looks nicer than the UP! and it is cheaper.

Great car Ben

I've had two Octavia VRS's as company cars and they were both superb. Quick, reliable and massive rear legroom and boot that puts the Freelander to shame. The first one was Mk1 2005 manual and the second 2011 DSG. I very nearly bought one instead of the Freelander but decided I liked sitting high up. Good luck with it, I'm sure you will love it. _________________

Picked up the replacement today, slight fiasco but all ended well.
Popped up on the moors and snapped this


What a rocket when you need it
