A Skoda?! Right here we go then:

Whats the difference between a Jehova Witness and a Skoda?
You can shut the door on a Jehova Witness!

Why does a Skoda have a rear window heater?
To keep your hands warm when you're pushing it !

What do you call a convertible skoda?
A skip.

A guy goes into his local garage and asks "Do you have a windscreen wiper for my Skoda?"
"Sounds like a fair swap" replied the man in the garage.

From a newspaper's classified ads:
"To the person who stole my Skoda in minus 10 degrees of frost. Keep the Skoda, but please tell me how the hell you started it!"

Gee their as old as the hills :lol:
 
Step 1. Take out the sledge hammer that's been sitting in the boot just for this occasion

Step 2. Go to town on the car, since you started you may as well finish, nothing worse than a half arsed job.

Step 3. Continue on your own car that you parked alongside.

Step 4. If the Police haven't tasered you up like a blind man holding a stick, then go to town on the car on the other side.

Step 5. Hide sledgehammer

Step 6. Blame Bigfoot, the big monster truck not the creature in the woods.....he only comes out at night. if it is night then blame Bigfoot anyway.

Step 7. Claim on the insurance (what do you mean you don't have accidental monster truck damage....these things are forever landing on cars without a car to the world)

Are you posting from 1983, Skoda have moved on a bit since then, only badge snobs sneer these days

Anyone that drives away after driving into a car is risking 6 points and a fine if caught, for failing to stop after an accident

A supermarket car park isn't private land in the eyes of the law as the public has access to it.

Damaging a car on foot is different

was waiting for the Mrs in a pub car park (parked in my car), when an old bloke in an escort tries to squeeze into a narrow space. In doing so he scrapes all along the side of a brand new Range Rover Vogue!! ouch!!!, he realises what he's done, reverses out and flees the scene.
I did nothing...will i go to hell? do i care? nah! if they can afford a brand new Range Rover they can afford the repair bill!
I know i should have done the decent thing but :shrug:

That is an absolutely shocking attitude!!!!

So what if someone can afford a nice car, maybe they worked damn hard for it!

Whether you report someone for damaging it or not is one thing but your attitude sucks!!!

Great. This post, and some in this thread typify modern attitudes. Just because they have a nice car doesn't mean they can afford to get it repaired.

I also hate this selfish "I'm alright Jack" attitude.

I had someone drive into the back of my car once when it was parked up. No note, and £3k worth of damage!

I'd like to think that if anyone witnessed it they'd leave their details.

Please tell me this is a joke? If not you need to wake up mate. i hope and pray that you never have to work hard for nice things then have someone ruin it.

Lets hope no one looks at you with your camera and thinks if he can afford that he can afford to replace it if i nick it!!!!

shocked really shocked..
 
I remember being with my mom and dad in his car when I was a kid and he clipped the wing mirror of a car when he was driving down the street. He could have just carried on driving but he turned round and knocked on about three maybe four doors till he found the owner to tell him what he had done. Wonder how many would do that in this day and age.
 
I saw a Skoda do 150mph, It was falling off a high cliff at the time.

What do you call a Skoda with twin exhausts? A wheel barrow

Realspeed

I went to a tyre place to get a quote for tyres - one of the mechanics said I reversed into his car and that if I didn't accept liability he'd ring the police. As I was no where near his car I told him to go ahead.

Despite there being no damage to my car the visiting policeman advised me that I should pay as there were three other mechanics in the garage who 'witnessed' me hit the car. Luckily it was only a switched on insurance company that found this had happened several times before. Common decency seemingly is long gone, outright fraud normality.

You'd probably get a parking ticket for stopping.

Really?
 
I reversed my car out of a parking bay in a multi story car park, and bumped a parked car behind! The parking sensors which I encouraged my missus to pay as optional extras did work😜 but still didn't stop me hitting the car. I parked up, took photo's of the damage, some scuffing and and trim hanging off. Then left a note firmly attached in full view of the driver under the windscreen wiper with my name, mobile and land line. I never heard a thing afterwards! They must have been happy to sort the damage out themselves!! At least my conscience was clear! It's happened to me a couple of times and it's not a nice feeling.....wouldn't want to do it to someone else!
 
I remember as a kid someone swinging his car around without looking straight into my Dads old 2A Land Rover his front grill into our winch hook up point on the bumper, his radiator gushing water.. he told my Dad he would get some touch up paint for the mild scuffing it caused to the Land Rover but my Dad declined and then helped him by towing his car home for him..

Several years ago, I was pootling gently along a country lane in my old S IIa when some rectum in a modern 4x4 came hurtling around the corner, locked up and ran into me. By that time, I was stationary and tucked as far as possible into the hedge and he had managed to slow down to a little over a crawl. I followed him back to his home and work (he was a cook in a pub) where he rather sheepishly explained to his boss (and the owner of the 4x4) what had happened. Damage to mine - a tiny scratch (to join all the others) in the galvanisation on the bumper. To his, bumper, panel behind bumper, headlight, indicator/sidelight cluster and 4 flatspotted tyres! Oh, and he had some bruises on the way on his left shoulder - his GF was beating the #2 out of him!
