Having sold both of my Volvos  I'm picking up my 'new to me' car in a fortnight or so.... can't deny the choice has been heavily influenced for its properties as a fishing car

Bently Continental???

Bently Continental???

Errrr... no  I have managed to incur the jealousy of 'she who must be obeyed' by buying a Škoda 

[Euan Innes]

And an excellent choice it is too Sir.
At least you get to wear your own trousers in this car...

 

[Eddie Sinclair]

H,

have you bought a Kodiaq?

[Hamish Young]

No Eddie, my pockets aren't deep enough for something that new 

I have gone for a four year old Yeti and having done the deal I discovered that Škoda have discontinued the Yeti.... which is a shame as there will no doubt be some end of model special editions and special offers (until the new Karoq replaces it) which means I probably could have struck a deal on a newer version.

Doh

Sincerely hope you have got a good one and not a Friday car as mine turned out to be.

I didn't know you had had a Yeti Rob  ???

Sorry, I meant Skoda.  I had the Scout.

Lots of issues with it but the worst was the rust. Seams around the rear hatch were bad and Skoda said it was stone chips! Long running battle, still have a Ł1000 bill in dispute with them.

Car was 3 years old when I returned it with 50k on the clock...and virtually new suspension all round grrrr.

H,

the Yeti is a cracking motor. The reason I asked about the Kodiaq is that when I returned from the middle East I took one out for a test drive and was well impressed. However Skoda could not commit to a delivery date so I ended up buying a second hand Volkswagen toe rag instead.
