These aren't shite, not yet anyway, but I think they will be. This is for the Skoda lickers only I think.

Look like a couple of bog standard mk2 Superbs don't they? But they're both V6s. I haven't seen one for months (and I look for them, most people wouldn't know if they had seen one). Then I see two in three days.

 

They have the 3.6 V6 and are sort of a Passat R36 in a posh frock. They sold in tiny numbers. A quick look on howmanyleft left me more confused than before as they mix them up with the far more common mk1s, but it looks like no more than a few hundred were sold. If you want a high performance saloon car you probably didn't think Skoda and if you were thinking Skoda you didn't want to pay £500 a year in tax.

 

I'm still of the old fashioned view that a proper luxury car should have more than four cylinders and not be diesel which discounts most Superbs.

 

The only subtle clues as to what lies beneath are the quad pipes and a very small V6 badge, apart from that they look just like a TDI. I'd like one of these in about 15 years time. I probably won't see another one for about five years.

A couple of spots from this week; first off, a mouldering Malaysian.

Second off, a posh Jag with lwb and supercharger.

Capri at the retail park. Other side didn't have any patches on it. Bullet mirrors a let down, but wonderfully shonky otherwise.

1.6 too for bonus pov points.

Edited to say - look at the size of the focus and ashtray in comparison!

There was a fully loaded , blue with cream leather, 80k mile one of these on Autotrader for about £6000 earlier in the year, of course as soon as I sold my W212 shitheap it had gone. So I bought a Dizzler V70, probably safer for my licence and wallet.

A quick perusal of the usual Internet car selling sites found only one for sale. A much newer 15 plate for around £18k. That's still about 50% depreciation in two years. It's a brave man that bought one new but I'm glad a few people did. When they get down to £300 I may replace the Favorit.

Spotted in Tenby recently. Not sure what has been done to it to make it look like it's got collapsed suspension? The driver is a youngster but I'm verging on becoming an old giffer so possibly do not understand why it's been molested in this way..

2004 tax disc in the window. Inexplicably parked in the middle of an active petrol station forecourt.

Not the kind of 'off road' they meant.

XJS, however, was beautiful.

 

 

I notice that Mr Conelrad is linking from a 'private' Flickr album setting, rather than having all the photos viewable from the link. How do you do that? - I'm moving from Photobucket and couldn't work out how to do that on Flickr.

If you'd looked in the load bay, you would have seen at least 5 layers of closely packed tins , similar to thesepost-17414-0-16988800-1503311679_thumb.jpeg
