| The Octavia where time stood still. Driving to an appointment today I thought I was making good time and then started thinking I was going to be very early. After a while checked the time on the dash against my watch and it had stopped at 11.10am, the clock on the radio was ok and showed the correct time. After a 45 minute appointment the time was correct when I switched the ignition on  Anyone else had this?

| Re: The Octavia where time stood still. Best check your a55 for some alien anal probes.  Sounds dodgy to me. Bet you were abducted and molested with, and the car is reading the correct time.

| Re: The Octavia where time stood still. No, it isn't that - it's the speed these Skodas travel at. You only age 45 minutes but when you return you find all you friends have aged 300 years. Einstein said so, so it must be true. |

| Re: The Octavia where time stood still. Does the 'variable servicing' have anything to do with it? Do we get variable time too?  |
