Just had a stroll to the shops and whilst not thinking of much I started noticing a fair number of houses with brand allegiance to one manufacturer. Mazda CX-5 and MX5, BMW 3 touring and M2, etc... all very nice mixes. Then I passed this one - serious lack of imagination! I suppose one is an estate and there isn’t much choice in the Skoda range!

^ No different to having a 5er/7er and a 3er in the same colour.

[mention]NotoriousREV[/mention] you're a massive blue waffle, obvs, but that's not i̶m̶p̶o̶t̶e̶n̶t̶ important right now. A few days back on the south coast I saw a similar Redneckmobile to yours, I wonder if you know of it; same colour and t-top as yours, possibly the same wheels, on an H reg Iirc, RS (or RS+) sticker on the rhs of the rear bumper, possibly had a rear spoiler similar to

and it had a bonnet very much like

I've had a google but havenae found it.


Also spotted (on another ocassion), six Ferraris, only one of which was red :)

[mention]Mito Man[/mention] Were you in your Defender towing a trailer over a bridge across the M25 yesterday late afternoon/early evening? If so, spotted; if not, there's an imposter nearby.

The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on

That EXA appears to have rear seats :shock:

I remember the successor because it was offered with a stupid ugly estate add-on:

Saw my first Taycan today on the M25 sitting behind the spray of a lorry. Either a potato or just running low on juice :lol:

I saw a red shooting brake from afar yesterday and I thought it looked great. At the time I thought it was a CLS but could have been a CLA :?:

We need a rule that only coupes, not hatchbacks, made into estates can be called shooting brakes!

I'm happy for the CLS to count as a four door coupe.

There’s a BX GTi 4x4 up the road from me. It’s not moved in at least five years. Such a shame.

Edit - I’m bored today so I’ve just been and taken a photo for you.

the neighbours must love him!

I had a neighbour in my last place who was a Citroen guy, he had 2 BXs, a DS and a traction avant. I really don’t see the attraction of a BX!

Yep. Howmanyleft says 4 taxed & 20 SORN. Pretty rare.
