  • It's so worth the wait!

    After a very smooth collection from Northshore Skoda & 120km of driving around this afternoon, I just can't wipe the smile off my face!

    Such a great car, perfect engine and suspension. Love the cornering function & the visibility of the xenon's on the way home from dinner tonight. Only problems were the tint guys didn't reattach the rear door trims correctly, 10 mins of fiddling fixed this, & the DSG seems to be a bit more fidgety than I remember when I test drove it. But I guess it's something to get used to.

    Couple of photos I took when I arrived to collect her:

          Sunroof is great, although haven't had it open much as I want to preserve the new car / leather smell!

          Everyone I've shown has been really impressed, photos don't compare to seeing an RS in the flesh!

              Couple of better quality photos when I arrived home - before the rain started on Monday, which took away the new shine ...

                  Received my genuine Skoda rear door sill protectors yesterday from superskoda after waiting only 5 days & stuck them on last night. Not sure why Skoda don't issue them as standard equipment? They cost me a whole $35.

                        They are OEM. Skoda instructions (in Czech) & all!

                          I think I'll get me some, I've wondered why they aren't there and my daughter now climbs out herself and treads there.

                              Cost saving probably.
                              What annoys me is that they have many of these things and they are even in catalogues but if you go to a local dealer and ask from them they look at you like you've spoken in Martian and have three green heads.
