Re: Skoda

I was in Malaga airport last summer - standing in the check-in queue with the chavs - when this electric powered police car started driving round insied the terminal - sort of a small Smart car - a bit like this:

fancy police skodas.

What is the world coming to - next we know they'll be driving Fiat Cinquicentos

Re: Skoda

Whenever they are about to kick something off several things happen in my part of the World.

1. Big increase in military fighters on training missions.

2. Big movement of tanks down to West Wales for target practice on the firing ranges.

3. Loads of heavy aircraft flying over in the middle of the night - flying so high that you cannot see them but in such large numbers that you can hear a loud drone which sometimes goes on for an hour or more. That's alot of planes.

"Not according to top-trumps!"

Re: Skoda

Re: Skoda

Depends which Skoda and which Mondeo

Skoda

I drove up the M3 this afternoon on the way back from Portsmouth and noticed a "plain clothes" police Skoda pulled up behind an unsuspecting motorist on the hard shoulder. I also noticed large numbers of military vehicles albeit with red crosses on them, so whatever is going on they seem to be anticipating casualties.. which means that it probably is a shaunboy reunion :rollin :rollin

Oh God, not the M5. I was planning to drive down there this weekend, and it's bad enough with caravans and horse boxes without smoke-belching squaddiemobiles trundling along at 10 MPH.

Edit: Come to think of it, didn't the Government claim a while back they were planning a crack down on caravans? Maybe at last they're doing more than just talk, and the troops are digging in along the M5 ready for the weekend. Shaun will be pleased!

Last weekend they were all heading north up the M5. Presumably some kind of exercise blowing up things in South Wales. I’d have thought they were the wrong colour for Iraq. Threaded should know. In fact I think it was him driving all the trucks.

It could be to do with this.
