The Replacement

[elnevio]

I'm Back

But just to drop in...

Hi to all those still around

After 9 1/2 years, feck sake, has the Legnum been gone that long... shocked

Bit of review of the Legacy:
Solid car, went like stink, comfy and loved.
Is also up for sale...

It's time for another change.
Now what to go for???

The list included a:
Porsche Panamera Hybrid S - could have made the finances work, but couldn't stomach the possible future bills
Volvo S90/V90 T8 - S90 was available, but didn't float my boat
Volvo V60 T8 - would have had to be a Polestar, and just sod all of them available and none in Ireland
Do I go for a 2 seater?
Nissan GTR - Oh, how I wish, but still needed the space
Go old JDM?
Always wanted and Supra - but no nice unmolested twin turbos around

So?
Saloon - Hatchback - 2 Door?
Normal family car?
Dare I suggest diesel?

Or stick to the tried and tested?
Estate - Big enough - Petrol - Turbo - +250bhp??? Worked the last 2 times
Why the hell not.
But who makes such a thing these days?

My thoughts went back and forth, few cars fit the bill and then a search threw up something of interest.
Was listed on Friday, saw ad on Sunday, test drove Monday, deposit paid and picked up this Monday.
But what could it be I hear you all ask.... (well maybe one of you anyway)

Estate - Big enough - Petrol - Turbo - +250bhp

For the first time in 22 years, NOT a JDM car

Ok, ok, ok, enough waffle...
And the answer is:
Skoda - Superb - Sportline - Estate - 2.0Tsi - DSG - 280bhp - 2017

Nice to hear from you again Robert! Hope you are otherwise well and that not having a JDM isn't a sign of mental instability!!

Possibly actually a sign of mental clarity

Looks nice. Crazy how quick 'normal' cars are becoming these days!
