I've had this a couple of months now; I had a Skoda Octavia vRS before.

I’m sure you’ve all seen loads of them and this has nothing special but hey;

It’s a V70R MY05

Looks very nice, black is one of the best colours for the phase 2 R's IMO.

I'm with Kerry, love the black and it looks stunning when fully corrected but does show up every bastard mark. David Dickenson interior for me with the black though.

Lovely car mate :).

I wanted the Atacama and black combo but I couldn't find one with the options I wanted. Well I did at Mill in Aberdeen but they wanted stupid money and they wouldn't deliver it to view at the Mill in Newcastle. Plus it only had some options.

I detailed mine when I got it and it looked mint. My Octavia was black so I got used to snow foaming and 2 bucket washing every week. But yeah it shows everything.
It is currently in the body shop because someone reversed out of parking bay into me so when I get it back I’ll re-do it if they don’t ready for the winter.
Here is the damage, not too bad but she damaged the Alloy as well.

Don't let your age define you. It's a number, that's all.

Nasty D5 dieseasel with few twiddly bits from TWR, MTE, IPD and Eibach but 600 miles to a tank ain't to be sniffed at :-)

Cheers guys.
I've actually got an ‘11 V70 D5 as a hire car and the fuel economy and "normal" turning circle is much appreciated.  That and the bluetooth.
