Škoda is Sh*te

Happy it's back on topic?

By the way I have no leaning either way on the merits or demerits of Škoda.

Hoping yours is soon well though CC.

Come on cc make a vid of the sound and put it up


I got a comment from a customer tonight, he was on his merry way into the town for a fight with someone who battered hios mates, he was getting a crew together.

In between being on his mobile organising his little band of merry knuckle draggers, he told me he thought my brakes were f*cked.

I told him it was the gearbox, then agreed, it was probably the brakes!

CC, have you considered selling the Skoda to a Saudi National?

They like all that wailing round their Minarets.

Skoda is a popular car in the desert as well, because of the two gallons of rain water in the boot.

Any updates on the whine, can you play tunes by varying the revs in low gear?

Its getting really bad now, the majority of customers worry that the brakes dont work either.

Which considering the track record of Skoda, they actually do.

Is there any cance of a repair that does not involve "New box".

I was Catering Logistics in the Royal Navy - I can only fix it if it's made of pastry!

CC, your back and you are lurking "hidden".

Whats the state of play on the gearbox.

Get a CD of bagpipes - just play it softly and tell your punters you had the gearbox adjusted to drown out the horrible noise coming from the stereo.

The gearbox is sh*te and the drivers electric window appears to have came out in sympathy ffs.

No wonder the germans lost the f*cking war producing sh*te like this!
