Cracking cars, I was looking at the Kodiaq as it's now on the company car list along with the Octavia VRS. In the end I went with a Golf GTI because it's not my money.

Really like the Skoda vrs. Would definitely be on my short list for a big family car.
German quality, plenty of refinements, decent power and doesn't attract dickheads which is a big bonus than it sounds

My personal favourites from the VAG group are the current Seat Leon FR and the Audi A4 Avant. Great looking and super practical, economical etc

I have an Audi A4 avant, its a cracking car, but after this lease runs out I think I'll be getting VW T6 transporter kombi as it will be better for work.

Fantastic result. The more time their QC spent with them the more eager he became to settle.

Perhaps hardly surprising ,bearing in mind how much Silks take, If they were only disputing a figure somewhere between £ 0 & £15,900,000 ???

Picking up my very first pair of glasses (for reading) it’s official, creaky knees, grey nose hairs and glasses, I’ve got old.

I was thinking more along the lines of "If she's not falling apart he's not treating her right"
