One for the gardeners among you...

Skoda are involved with some events in conjunction with the Hilliers chain of garden centres over the next couple of months. Here's the schedule:

I'm hoping to pop along to one of the events down south, and perhaps test drive the new vRS.

The link (which still works me for me BTW) has been updated with some extra info.

Quote:

Upon completion of the test drive you will receive a goody bag, comprising a copy of Design and Planting by Andrew McIndoe and a Shrub, you will also be entered into the prize draw for a VIP trip to the Chelsea Flower Show.

Should you require any further information please call the Škoda Hotline (01905) 343522.

The Mrs can keep the book and shrub, so everyone's happy
