One of the old jokes about the (old) skoda's,: "the biggest dream for a skoda: to get a speedticket" i guess we have to change that, slightly: "the biggest dream for the police: to give a skoda a speed ticket, -if they can catch it" ;-)

To Lightfromsirius who said: "Skoda was once one of the top 5! carbuilders in the world. (...) Your comment just shows that you know nothing about Skoda" Well I do actually know something about Skoda. I live very close Skoda Museum. And I know they once was pristine cars. But there was time when I was a boy, and back then they were eatblock tin cans often overtaken bya old men on bicycles. Those days are thankfully over. :)) Have a nice day.

@skodatoys

You can come to germany too. But be warned. It does not matter if the Skoda is 30 years old or new. You will only see the tail.

[Lightfromsirius]

Each Skoda VRS has an inbuild speed ticket. What production car has built in the strength of a factory WRC? It lacks only strut bar and cage for 100% rigidity of a WRC car. If you have money, you can easily sink a million euros in a VRS to enjoy the result and the open mouths of others.

@imgonnafuckuup1 Well the desire to go faster and faster is a base element of man. And it is amazing that the former east-block tin-can now is up among the fastest.

@hubbasdz1 thanks to you and to the people who have the same opinion like you, the fans of skoda can buy their favorites cars at a lower price than audi or vw. But i wonder if you have ever entered a skoda car to see the quality or if you know that the elements inside of skoda 2011 for example are the elements that audi used in 2010. furthermore.This is a racing car. see the inside of a mercedes racing car it looks the same. at least if you don't know don't express your opinion in public.

[skodatoys]

Well done guys,for those who want to see a skoda with speed ticket,we invite them in romania for 402 meter ;))

@keldfc a lot of police forces now use skoda fabia insted of shity vauxhall astras and octavia vrs instead of vectra or mondeo as they cheaper faster and better to drive and i agree i have a octavia 1.9tdi and love it even if its 6 year old
