Sharing the Skoda love
Consider this paying it forward. I was stuck at the bus stop waiting for my bus which had been delayed. I have a car but it is too low to park in parking buildings (Even if I could afford the daily rate) and my mustang is still in bits
.
So I had a nice surprise when a chick in a blue wagon pulled up and asked me if I wanted a ride (keep the comments to a minimum
. After a few moments of confusion my mind engaged and I took the oportunity for a free ride. Turns out it was a promotion that Skoda is doing in New Zealand to raise the profile of its cars. So I got a ride in a flash wagon (that had comfy bucket seats) and although I couldn't convince her to put her foot down to demonstraight the power of the 6 speed diesel, the ride was good. So cosider this me keeping the Kharma going with a little free advert:
If your in the Auckland CBD and see one apparently you can wave them down too





Can you explain “have a car but it is too low to park in parking buildings”
In the USA, we have cars that are too big or too high to park in a parking garage, but I’ve not heard of cars that are too low.
Sure, I am a car guy, and a low center of gravity on a car makes the handling better (as long as you don’t screw up the suspension geometry or steering). So When I built my other car I went through the suspension and changed the springs to shorter and stiffer ones to get a lower center of gravity. Also my body kit front spoiler is just low enough that I cant go over sharp inclines, that parking buildings have on their ramps up to other levels. Also problematic are speed humps, Opossums, rabbits, small children…… Impractical I know, but makes for fun open road driving
Ha! As soon as you started explaining why you take public transport, i knew you must be from Auckland.
Im actually a vegas boy (Rotorua) and had to move to Auckland to get a decent Tech job. I have been offered work in Silconwelly but the roads there are crap and it would kill my car. Love your Inet though, and the comunitie spirit in the tech sector
Them rabbits make a real mess of fibre glass spoilers. A rather silly rabbit obliterated my front spoiler even when I was travelling at a legal speed.
Got any pics of what you are driving at the moment??
P.s. what you doing for Rod (if you can share)??
