    Going to Germany/ Austria. Any ideas on Skoda shopping

    i'm off to Bavaria / Austria / Switzerland for a month.

    It occured to me that i might be able to buy a few trinkets for the Octavia while in transit but for the life of me I can't think of anything i want.

    Any ideas?

    Indeed. 4th time over. Wife has rellos over there. Kids haven't been yet. It's now or never as they are all getting old.

    Trying for a VW Touran as a hire car. They have a huge cargo area don't they?

    Glad you said Touran and not Routan. VW Routan is a rebadged version Chrysler Voyager :/ VW were certainly getting lazier with their naming...

    Enjoy the trip!!

    The Skoda.de shop doesn't ship outside EU, get some merchandise and flog it off back here. There's some really nice chronographs (the RS one I would slay for) and jackets and bags.

    What about some of the new badges / logos?

    I would like my Octavia RS in Rosso please.

    I don't worry too much what I get as a hire car when I travel. As long as I can fit all the bags in it.

    Ordered a Ford Crown Victoria when I went to the USA last year & the mongrels gave me a Chrysler 300c. Nice car but I was royally peeved as we couldn't fit our 4 bags in the boots without damaging something. Asked them if they'd upgrade me to the Cadillac Escalade they had (the only bigger car on the lot) but they wouldn't play the game.

    Also had a Chrysler 200 for bopping around LAX.

    When you're on Holidays you just make up for the vehicles shortfalls by reckless driving.

    Not a bad idea re: merchandise. A set of wheels would be nice if I could find a discount shop.

    Customs allowance is one car per person. I've taken that up with a 335 estate.

    Even the dealers price is discount compared to here - VAG price for my Gigaro 17s 450 each here - 143 EU there - a discount place you'd probably pay less for a set than we pay for one wheel

    Going anywhere near CZ? the gear is rock bottom there....
