    300km in your own car? i only get about 20mpg, so it would be worth a lot more to me. :D

    Unfortunately not ... according to the t&c's its 300km based on some hyper fuel efficient Skoda.

    Still worth about €21 though.

    I know what you mean ha...and if I rock up in a 6 month old Skoda, my story is just not going to be believable. I suppose I could pretend I need a more fuel efficient car. hmmm

    dont think sitting with a smarmy car salesperson trying to sell me a car I probably wont be caught dead in and trying to pretend I'm interested in buying is worth the €21

    Thanks for the link OP.
    But I'd cause a lot more than €21 worth of reputational damage to myself if someone were to see me driving a Skoda.



    :p

    You will be bombarded with phone calls,texts and emails with regards to buying a new Skoda car.

    Alot of pointless hassle really.

    Oh sweet lord jesus.:rolleyes:

    I hope you know that Audi,VW,Seat and Skoda are all "VAG" and all are basicly the same car (golf based platform),but with different bodywork.

    As a college student I've become accustomed to being bombarded with flyers and online applications for free stuff. So I setup a nice little alias for myself :) All the free stuff, none of the annoying follow ups :)

    Clue enough to know a Skoda is a lawnmower engine in a cool metallic body and slick marketing campaigns.

    LOL.:rolleyes: A Skoda is VW parts in a frumpy frock. Yet they apparently manage to last better than the hugely unreliable VWs!

    Stupid Terms and Conditions. 300km around Mondello would equate to about €160 for me :D

    Volkswagen-Audi Group... the owners of Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, SEAT, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Bentley and another marque or two that I don't quite remember.

    The "A" doesn't have anything to do with Audi, VAG is an abbreviation for Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft
