Any Skoda owners in/near Sheffield?

Hi

Just got my Octy RS and was told about this site, which Im finding really useful.

I was wondering if there are any owners in/near Sheffield, and do you meet up?

I see there is a meet goes on at Xscape, but wondered if there was anything closer to home

Cheers

Damian

Re: Any Skoda owners in/near Sheffield?

Just been playing in Wharncliffe woods on my new bike, stacked it big style. I'm now quite sore and my 6 day old saddle is a bit buggered. Still, it could have been worse, least i had my lid on!

Re: Any Skoda owners in/near Sheffield?

Sorry Damo..... I've only had the Furby for a month and a half...... The only meet i have been on was at Hillsboro Park and it was a uk-polos.net meet........ There were a couple of furby / ibiza's there and i went cos my last car was a polo GTi.


The only one i've seen for Briskoda was the one at the ski place you mention in your original thread.



Cheers

Dave.

No worries

If I see a Black Fabia vRS driving around I will give you a wave.

Polo GTi eh? I had a Lupo GTI about 6 months ago, proper fun car it was, like a little go kart

Anyway, If any one fancies a mini meet sometime, I would be up for it, if not, maybe catch you all at the other Yorkshire meets

Cheers

Damian

Re: Any Skoda owners in/near Sheffield?

I went over to a NW meeting at the Cat and Fiddle once, other than that not really. JBS in Chesterfield is always worth a vist though and there's usually some Skoda people there.

Re: Any Skoda owners in/near Sheffield?

Xscape is like Centertainment at Meadowhall, a bit of a retail park and loads of restaurants next door.

So is everyone up for a mini meet then?

Hi Damian,

Welcome and congratulations on the RS! I think i'm a local now a days (been in sheffield 22yrs)! Was aware of the possibility of meeting at Xscape, but it's SWMBO's birthday this weekend, so can't make it, but I'm sure there will be plenty more once the group gets going!

Might be worth clocking a local venue and seeing if we can move the regional meeting around a bit.

Anyway welcome & enjoy !
