Backmarker 6 Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Skoda does indeed seem an odd bed fellow. Perhaps owners report the defects as vandalsim rather than general deterioration Quote Wing Commander Dibble DFC<br /><br /> North Midlands Esprit Group<br /><br />NMEG "the formidable squadron"<br /><br /> "probably the most active Esprit group in the world" Andy Betts, Castle Combe May 2007 Link to post Share on other sites
Paul C 15 Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Christ I did not need that, but it's proof again that the world hates you when you have a german car. I guess the Skoda is there due to the VW link making it as good as german? Personally, as there are so many newer ones about, I'm suprised there are no porsche in there.

77 esprit 0 Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 How about the upside down license plate? Photoshop anyone? If you did not know before, the most vandalised (stolen) cars in the USA does not contain one vehicle from the same list of manufacturers! Lots of Hondas, Toyotas and trucks. Not a Merc, Audi or Bimmer to be found . Lyn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest surferphil Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 My wife had her Mini vandalised today, maybe they read the Times? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
