Hello from the Forest of Dean

Postby Billybskoda » Thu Dec 28, 2017 10:10 am

Hello all..

It all started when I bought a tent, a big tent at the NEC... Whilst the Octavia is huge, esp with roof bars, roof box and bike carrier, it still wasnt big enough for tenting holidays.

Enter the need for a Tourneo. I bought her in November as a 125 6 seater. She came with the bodykit and vinyls. Bearing in mind the Octavia is black, debadged, etc, this was a bit of a divergence.

I also retuned my vehicles, so initially added a free breathing air filter and removed the oem one. Thanks to the kind fellas at a Cornish tuning company, she now also boasts 200bhp to match the looks.. That will help when she goes onto the continent and when fully loaded. Kiddies have dual dvd mounts for the rear seats. I get different grins from driving either of my cars, for different reasons...

Ill ask some questions once Ive settled in.
2014 Tourneo Custom (6 seat) 2.2 200bhp
2014 Skoda Octavia vRS TDi 240/480

Cant say which one makes me grin more... Depends who I've just overtaken :twisted:

Thank you.

As it happens, I need to go to Decathlon in Ox at the weekend and trade-off for being caught having the van chipped is that Mrs B wishes to go to the retail village at Bicester..

Naturally in the van..
