Well of course. A brand new cam belt on a Skoda will instantly double its
value!

1. Why are you replying to a post that's six months old?
2. Why make a joke (I use the word 'joke' loosely) that's been old and
out of date for decades?

Indeed. Modern skodas are excellent value machines.

I'd certainly get one.


I know of a local cab firm who have a fleet of them and they have no
complaints to speak of whatever...

They tend to get around 300K miles before any serious probs, all diesel
ones mind....

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc-ra-cy) €“ a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.

A lot of the taxis round here are Prius running on LPG.
