A previous post of mine........
"What a bad day ive had, not only did we lose 10-1 at Hockey but YES i got beaten by a Skoda.
I am a half decent driver and i know that my 16v clio aint slow. Driving about 90 a new Silver Skoda octiva big alloys and smart bodykit (all standard i presume) came up beside me and shot off.....so the chase began.
Caught up with it by a rounderbout just me and him on the dual carrageway so both foot to the floor and bloody hell he starts pulling away, hit 3rd gear and hes still pulling infront of me, into 4th at 90 and started catching about 115mph where another rounderbout was coming up, did the same again and he beat me by about 3 car lengths!!!
Cant beleve this! What Type/power of Skoda is this????? Can anyone find out?
GUYS WATCH OUT these things aint slow no joke.
Well in my time of owning my clio i never thought in a million years that a skoda would beat it but looks like they aint skips anymore!

i think they use the same 1.8 turbo engine as the golf, well they are bacically volkswagons now arnt they.
they are not to be sniffed at any more, ive never raced one but a bloke at work seemed well happy with his and to be honest i dont think they look too bad.( i would take the badge off though!)lol

amazin cars they are, the octavia RS. 1.8T from the golf/A3/audi TT, pumping out 180BHP, and can with a few mods pump out 225 no probs!
Damn fast and a good chassis, base on the golf platform 3A....which no less than 23 different cars are based on!

My dad has an Octavia RS as a company car. No joke, these are TOTALLY underrated cars. The RS costs £16k list as well!! Its a 1.8T that has 180bhp - though you can get the regular 1.8T in 150bhp form as well.
It does 0-62 in 7.1 secs (official figure) - which is, as you know, quick. I wouldnt have said its much quicker than a Valver off the mark, but after about 70 they really pull (up to 150mph I think). They have the same chassis etc as the Golf/A3/Leon, but the interior is a bit less posh.

Rumours are out the Skoda are going to be entering Formula 1 racing to replace Prost!

how does the octavia compare to the audi TT?, i beat a TT by quite a margin yesterday and i had another person in the car and the TT driver was goin solo, it was no contest after 60. i have also noticed my car has been de-catted, who knows the previous owner might have had head done!. what i do know is the car has had work done at a renault place called radbourne racing down south. never heard of it until i looked in some of my receipts. my car is origially from down south but im up north. anyone heard of radbourne racing?. know where it is?
