Default I kept it quite for a little while
I m still awaiting confirmation on a scooby I m looking to purchase but in the meantime I needed a run about so I got myself a Skoda Octaiva VRS DSG Diesel on a 11 plate. To be honest I cant fault it, its loaded with kit plus I have a few more added, its chipped upto 205 BHP and running 483 Nm. The DSG / Paddle unit is solid and it pulls like a train. With the bonus of 50 mpg if sensible but as I m still playing I m running about 29 mpg at present lol.

Ok its not a scoobie but its a car I overlooked before and now I wonder why I ever did ...

OK now you can start with the JOKES

The Skoda diesels are good cars. My dads got a VRS fabia and that is surprisingly quick.
