The old Skoda is still alive and well, although its been on a sorn for over a year now. My semi tame professor has decided against a new Tesla as his means of transport in Geneva and has asked if I could get the old Skoda MOTd and drive it out to him. I knew the battery would be goosed, so bought a new battery and blew up the tyres and it fired up straight away. Took it for test and had to put a pair of wipers on it. So on Saturday am off to Geneva with the old girl, having a week eating well with a guided tour of CERN and flying home next Sunday. It looks like I will not be getting my hands on those diplomatic plates after all, they will be going on a 16 year old Skoda with neigh on 200000 miles on the clock. Thats half the problem nowadays, we throw things away before they are half worn out. I think that old Skoda will still be going strong long after I am gone.</p></blockquote><p></p>
