my first car was a surprising skoda estelle 105s 8-)

I learnt my (previous) trade on Skoda's, at a dealership in Hemel Hempstead (Cawdells, should anyone know it)

Must admit I thought they were hugely underated motors. Yes they were old fashioned, yes the gearchange was about the same as stirring a spoon in treacle and the interior design left a lot to be desired, but you never saw a rusty one. The only reason these disappeared was because they weren't worth anything when things went wrong. In 4 years I never knew one to have terminal rust.

The 130's suffered with headgaskets going (and cylinder liners) and they all were a royal PITA to do a clutch on (engine out job), but I still liked them and wouldn't say no to one nowadays just as a bit of fun! Just never see them

Hi, yes it was a fun car, Id hadith a fortnight and decided spur of the moment to go to the highlands in Scotland for a drive. Not far from Wrexham to the highlands lol. Got there and back no problem. I ended up pxing my skids for a new lada riva 1.2 as the drive shafts went on my skoda.
