ronaldo0 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 All the best ones will be sorted to go to the right places. The people they were meant for seemingly just send staff to buy these back and palms have been greased to make sure they get their cars back .

Bloody hell. I wouldn't pay 4,380 on a bad day. Crazy prices. Skoda is the only car that's ever left me on the side of the road, in a -15 DegC snowstorm, so fond memories.
