Bib Overalls: Our history is interesting and, unfortunately, in many ways it affected us greatly. For 14 days I'm going to have to Kladno into a bridge on the circuit, then the time comes to cars for the winter sleep.

Val_C: Thank you. A few cars in my type exported to Canada: http://www.skodacanada.ca/

Nice video! It looks like (if it was in order of shooting), that the track dried up later on, and you could go faster. You had more speed in the end of the video when taking the curves. No inside video yet?

I just love the car, and the finish you have achieved. The car is very clean, and is just correct in everyway, with sublte upgrades everywhere. I also like the interior and especially the dashboard, that's something I will save as an image for future motivation on my own 80's cars ;)

And the garage is nice as well, and it's always remarkably clean, even when the insulation was being taken off :D Great job!

You should consider adding a harness bar just below shoulder height between the door pillars, in lieu of a roll bar, so the shoulder belts don't pull down and crush your back in an accident( God forbid). You can't rely on the harness cutouts in the seats to maintain the vertical position of the harness in an accident. Great looking little car.

Matias: Thank you for the compliment. More videos from riding on the circuit I have on my channel, but this year it was a lot of water in the morning and even on the last run was not completely dry. I look forward to springtime, I believe that in the dry erasers and new time will go even better.






ritrix1: Do you think something like that?

In the Czech Republic, the frame is unfortunately not used for road traffic, in addition hen I know, up to an angle of 45 ° from the seat down, it is normally also permitted according to FIA specifications.

Or am I wrong?

Very nice. What width are your wheels? I'm looking to step up from my 195/45/15s to 195/50, so I'm keen to see how they look once fitted. (I have 7.0 front and 7.5 rear)

Very nice rims and tires, that is going to be a lot of fun!

I have dynod my Buick a few times, so I know how to read a graph and your engine is running very well for what it is. The Torque is strong from low RPM and the HP carries through to 6000 RPM well!

Nearly bought some turbos as well a couple years ago, so you could say I like the wheels ;)

Waiting for some nice photos now Stig :)

I made new lids on wheels Superlight ATS DTC. The original imitation carbon fiber look too bad and protruding from the wheel.

I am currently in Prague and thought about coming to see your progress.

The car culture seems very strong here with Skoda and all the industrial facilities.

I was in Liberec, Plzn and Ostrava. Every time I come here I enjoy it:)
