Default new member north of the border

Hiya all

Just registered after lurking for a few weeks. I picked up a 51 plate Octavia vRS on Saturday and am dipping my toe into the Skoda ownership water. The car has a few wee mods and a bunch of reciepts from Star Performance so I guess I'll be paying the guys from Fife a visit in the near future.

regards

Stumpy

No worries about the jesting I'm always getting my leg pulled

When I returned to driving/riding motorbikes after my amputation I was keen to be able to drive amanual. All the "fun" cars seem to be manual. With a wee bit of practice and a reassement at a disabled driving school I was able to return without any restrictions on my license. I struggle with small cars or cars with tight space in the pedal box. But can manage most cars
