Derv?

Petrol by the look of it, not enough torque for a derv...

I'm not sure why anyone would think that Skodas are slow - looking at their competition history they have a very good record in motor racing, especially rallying - you don't get that by being slow....

I went round their Museum at their factory in the Czech Republic when I was over there and they even had a single seater, though I'm not sure what it competed in - probably the Russian equivelent of F1!

Petrol by the look of it, not enough power to be a DERV.

Petrol and huge boost and huge turbo and huge intercooler and nitrous oxide.

skodas are slow if someone drives them slowly .... a ruf porsche is slow if someone drives it slowly .... comments?

Comments?
Aye.
KTTT Barks!

KT what? price?

je ne comprend pas .. not even slightly

Clue, second 2 words are 'the tablets'.

Good for those poorly limbs, eh!

ze bad times are in the past for meself ... thankfully

Don't need auto only now, then?

I'm an automatic convert now --- would only go back as far as dsg type box

But can you drive a manual, now? I seem to remember you weren't able to.

errm ... yes -- but why would I want to use such an agricultural device?

glad to be rid of the balancing of the clutch malarky

was never a case of not able to btw, a while back it would have been painful after about an hour of driving but thanks to steroid injections & help from a rather cute (female) physio am better now

I have a dodgy left leg, and can only drive a manual for short periods. So I was forced to get an automatic - but I wouldn't want a manual now even if I was 100%.

I CAN see the advantages of manual transmission for "keen drivers", but for a mere "motorist" like myself it helps reduce the stress of driving.

And even if you are a keen driver, a DSG-type gearbox with paddle-shift must be tempting, surely?

Yeah, the new automated manuals are superb.

By Sunday, all 3 of my cars will be manual!

Nope, by 3 months' time, the same 3 cars will still be manual.
