A former BMW owner.
Hi,

Just joined, flogged my Beemer (I'm too embarrassed to say which model !). I am also a Moderator on the Discussion forum at Honest John's Website. This site was recommended to me at that site.There is a Roomster Scout on my driveway and has been the subject of quite a bit of debate both in the real and virtual world.

Hello, funnily enough I am going the other way. Still, my Skoda has been almost faultless over the last couple of years, so I imaging your Roomster will be too.

Hello and Welcome

You have obviously been reading the reviews about Skodas on your site and it has made an impression.

Hope you find the site useful.

BTW, pity you cant do a review of car sites

Can the Beemers indicators not be programmed to do multiple flashes off a quick flick, like our Skodas?
