 Despite me telling myself that I must stop adding to my Skoda collection, I've gone and done it again! This time I'm saving an '88 Rapid 130 that was threatened with being banger raced! The only pic I have at the moment is this...the car in the background is now mine, the red one has been mine for ages! ;D

the only cure is to keep bying rear engined skodas untill you own them all. back to the point tho, i love the new ride. modify this one dave, its begging for some deep dish and slammage type action.

That red Rapid looks absolutely mint, I reckon these are great cars last time I saw one in the flesh was in 1998. I cant believe how rare they have got so quickly. I remember the 136 Rapid getting rave reviews from the Motoring press so it must have been good considering how much flak Eastern European cars got at the time.

Alright Dave, that looks a familiar Rapid, i'm sure it was owned by Owen?? and did the pilgrimage to CZ in 2004.
I cant believe that you actually now have more cars than me.
