I'm tempted to do a video like this, but investigating all the shit in the wardrobe that the wife's accumulated and NEVER, F**KING, USED.

OK, deleted.  It's a fair point.  Can't delete it from your quote of my post though!

Theirs Is The Glory.

The original film of Market Garden upon which A Bridge Too Far was based.

Shot in actual locations with no actors, mainly men who took part in the battle.

Cool.

An American, in Germany, can not believe how hard it is to pass the annual vehicle inspection.

I find it incredible it  passed.

A Ford Cortina in Beige. The film is confusing as the car looks to be white.

I've watched it now. She couldn't have been much more glowing about it could she. Its almost as if she's surprised. Surprising Skoda. Does look a lovely example too. I've never seen a Blackline in the flesh, it is literally legendary as far as I'm concerned - something I've read about but never seen. 

But did anybody else notice the Felicia tailpipe? No, just me then. 

[St.Jude]

I do like this guy. Varied mix of content between cars, a truck, and his house.

I was surprised! I've only heard bad things about Skoda, so I turned up with an open mind and didn't just slag it off like some of these softboi's seem to when they're confronted with anything less than a supercar (which really annoys me). 

To be honest, it's definitely not my era of car (I'm 70s or before), but I thought it was great VFM motoring and really underrated. 

Sorry I didn't mention the Felicia tailpipe - I wasn't aware :) 

 

Cheers,

Steph

Don't worry, I wasn't expecting anybody else to notice the Felicia tailpipe. I only notice as I have one of each. The Felicia has an oval end, the Favorit is round. Mine is a mk1 which is even more 80s than the one you drove with its brown interior and vinyl covered cardboard door trims. 

I do 1960s as well with a 1969 Triumph 1300TC. In some ways the Favorit feels closer to the Triumph than it does to Felicia. Despite the the Felly being based on the Favorit it feels much more modern. 

Anyway thanks for a favourable review, I enjoyed it. 

[LoftyvRS]

I worked for Skoda when Favorit became Felicia then subsequently the new Fabia, and even as late as 2004/5 if we had a nice low mile Favorit in it would go up for sale and be sold within days. The following of them from the older Estelle/Rapid customers was tremendous. Much nicer seats in the Favorit compared to Felicia I always thought.

[Yoss]

There's two types of Favorit seat. The base models look like Felicia seats with different material, though probably are much softer. The higher spec cars have the nice squarer seats with the extra thigh and bolster support like in the video above, mine are like that but in two shades of brown. What more could you want?

* Car Wizard's not in it, probably because he's still paying off the damage he did to Hoovies Merc.

Lovely that was, look at the volume of "normal" company cars pounding the motorway,  Ford Sierras, Escorts, Granada's and Orions, also Vauxhall's Cavaliers and Astras. All you'd see nowadays is Euro Executive mobiles such as BMW, Audis & Mercs, all with DRL's glaring away with a whiff of Hugo Boss inside and big watches galore
