Kjas are awesomely uncomfortable but fun.

Incredibly practical but useless at the same time

:lol:
That's just how I like my vehicles.

If practicality was important to the members of this forum it would be called the "Skoda Superb TDI Estate Club UK"

Yes, and we'd be starting threads about Mike asking for sanity, because he'd be running his low rolling resistance tyres at 37 psi instead of 31psi or 33psi like the rest of us...

£163 lighter but that includes the following:-

MOT, fit & balance 4 tyres, supply and fit a battery, fit the drivers door handle, sort out electrical earth gremlins.

Given that it's £40 for an MOT, £40 for the tyres and I couldn't find a battery for less than £58 I'm calling it a bargain!
