New Furby due next year, will be shown at Geneva in march . According to press releases.

This I believe will be like the Roomster, pics didn't do it justice.

Welcome to Briskoda Gary - you'll find like I did back at the beginning of the year that it's full of fun, helpful, well-informed people, with a generous sprinkling of really colourful characters.

You didn't just buy a Skoda, you got a massive resource, which is this forum (NO official relationship exists between the two, mind) Check out Freedom membership if you want to get the most out of it (not essential but highly recommended!)

Hi, and welcome to Briskoda.

New Fabia is being unveiled officially at Geneva in March, and will go on sale in May. Front end almost identical to Roomster, much more rounded than the model it replaces. 22mm longer and 47mm taller.

The 'design study' for the Superb 2 is also due to be unveiled there as well.

All the Best
Chris

Hey guys thanks for all the replies its nice to feel welcomed. Hopefully if theres any meets nearby i can meet up with a few of you guys as i stay in Moodiesburn near Cumbernauld. I liked my C2 at first as it had a very sporty design but in the end it felt like a piece of crap lol. I got my Skoda after that and since ive had it i love it. I got it chipped to 160bhp before i bought it but i would have liked to have tested it at 130bhp standard because of the great reviews and i would've liked to have felt what it was like, although im not complaining about the performance of mine

Hi Gary.

I've recently bought a 2003 Octavia vRS and signed up here. Like you I also used to own a C2, vtr for me, but more recently owned a Clio 172. I'm also from the Cumbernauld area.
