New Dive Wagon

[TerryH]

Fatal mistake. With a car that size it looks like you'll have more passengers
on dive trips

At least you are getting shot of the 106. For such a kit-whore, that's gotta
be the most unsuitable wagon going.

It just looks like a black car to me.

03 Skoda Octavia vRS 1.8T. Had to be black, of course

I love the 106 but, you're right, it's not that practical. Although I was getting very good at packing it full of gear. 3 twinsets, 4 stages, 2 drysuits, clothes for a week and a day bag. And still room in the boot for an amp and sub. Need a suitable smilie, this will do LOL

EDIT: or this one

Congrats, the lump underneath the bonnet will bring a big smile to your face. It will leave the boy racers in their clios, saxos and 106's claiming "I wasn't really trying to race you anyway".
I have the same engine in my Leon Cupra, and ,touch wood, I've had 4 years of fantastic motoring from it. To preserve the Turbo on it, remember to give it a cooling period after a thrashing i.e.' if you have been driving it hard, ease off a couple of miles from 'home', or let it idle for a minute after arriving 'home' in order for the turbo to cool off.

A mate of mine recently bought a Skoda but took it back...


the brakes were a bit spongey

Excellent, that would be me until I chop the 106 in for the Skoda on Thursday

Thanks for the advice, will definitely take it on board

I've got an Octivia 1.9TDi. Brilliant dive wagon. Currently has 4 twinsets, 4 stages, and all my dive kit for this weekend in it and there is still room for 2 passengers (without dive kit!)

I took mine to Scapa last year with around 500kg of dive kit and it still managed 55mpg

Nic, PM sent about your tins, again!
