The Skoda is dads - bought it very heavily discounted after they were used as the support vehicles for one of the Otway bike races. I would have snapped it up if he hadn't. Citroen Pluriel (based off the C3) is my sisters car - think they got the honour of "Quickest/hardest depreciating car" in the UK - I call it the Pleurisy, viral peice of crap that it is. Definitely bought because it looks quirky and my sister believes herself to be "different". Golf is mums - even that's too large for her - manages to keep sideswiping posts, poles, gutters and parked cars, thus the garage spot all to herself.

All up, I've got my dad to thank for snapping up the Octavia - if he hadn't, I would have (the price was that good) and I'd have never bought the Ford, never been looking for info on them and never found the forum.

I was in the 80's - an XJS was the hottest thing 13 year old me had seen - one of them or an Audi Quattro - those cars were horn :)

As wrapped as dad is with his Skoda though - I can see the tinge of jealousy/regret whenever he jumps in mine. Words like "great deal", "value for money" "sensible choice" etc get said far too often.

Calder was cancelled :( - no chance to let the beast spread it's wings tonight. Hopefully the meet at the end of the month will go ahead.

Pretty much the same as Adelaide the day before, but 10 degrees hotter/colder/windier

edit: and 10 years into the future

edit2: will be good if we can get there - both our Pitlane tweaked cars will get their first plays :)

To return the favour for Don, who nagged you so I didn't have to when my car was in the shop (and because he doesn't seem to have a thread of his own)

What's the news Mick - what stage is Don's work at?

edit: He wasn't to know if it's 1000000kw yet and only costing $5. ????? - must be an in joke
