[@cabwab]

Who would have thought it....Look forward to the end of the video and the next episode!!

I am really enjoying this series, hopefully we will see more cheap skodas on the channel

[@JohnsGarageIreland]

I've 2 series of this filmed, I'll see how it goes. I sold my Megane cabby to invest in this so if it pays off great if not, no harm done

[@lucythemoggy1970]

@@JohnsGarageIreland I think you will be pleasantly surprised

john on the tail lights on those Octavia's, there are 4 tail lights each side to form a C shape and the reverse C on the drivers side.

[@JohnsGarageIreland]

I couldn't not, it gave me a right laugh 😆

[@lucythemoggy1970]

@@JohnsGarageIreland just nice to see it being used lol

Fun times, John! 🥳 🍾 🥂 The video ends a bit abruptly, in case you didn’t notice. 😜

[@JohnsGarageIreland]

I did, no idea what happened. Its missing the last 30 seconds. We'll just say my laptop is being pushed beyond what it's capable of right now

Absolutely crazy to scrap a car like this , that Skoda has at least another 100k kms if it’s maintained properly

[@JohnsGarageIreland]

Easily. The problem for the owner was the hassle of selling it. It's a strange situation to be in and they weren't in the position to have oddballs calling to the door.

....was perfect when parked up so no real surprise it's not ok couple of years on 😊

[@JohnsGarageIreland]

It's always a gamble as to weather it was, and water ingress in the meantime could kill a car. But the smell inside was too good so wasn't worried about that

[@peakseamus]

@@JohnsGarageIreland ...that's VW main dealer in Galway has stuff parked up years and retails some of it 🙃😳🤣

[@JohnsGarageIreland]

@peakseamus the one in Portumna has it parked for decades and will still sell it too 🤪

[@lucythemoggy1970]

[@JohnsGarageIreland]

What have you had? I'd love an old Favorit estate in top trim, loved them. Went to the factory and museum, really good fun
