I know a guy that had a Skoda like yours but with a 220hp Mazda rotary engine shoved up its bum. The thing was mental and used to melt exhausts for fun.

Great looking space you have there! Neat cars as well.
Do you know what kind of wheels your friend has under his red car?
I was also wondering if/how you insulated the place?

Performance: Nečekal jsem, že zde pohovořím rodným jazykem :) Díky za pochvalu.


Lippyp: The car I know ;) When talking about the sprints, my friend has the Skoda 130 engine from the Audi 5 cylinder 2.2 l power over 600HP



Crown: My friend does not know what is behind the wheels. Not for them no brand logo or type. They are 14 "wheels with 4x130mm spacing as the initial damage and a few other cars, so maybe it can be something of a VW Beetle. The second question I do not understand, do you think the house wall insulation?

I know motocross is big in Europe, I try to follow the MXGP motocross here the best I can. You have the Loket track, have you been there?

Acuratechva: The house still do not have insulation, but even so it is very efficient in winter. The floor is 16 cm polystyrene ceiling is 32 cm wool.


UncleDirty: Motocross track Loket is approx 120 km from the place where I live, but I've never been there. I wonder more about rally cars and cars for hill climb.

The romantic hills of central Umbria, Italy,
First - welcome to the Garage!!!

Wow!! Your yellow sedan looks fast just sitting there... and your friend's red 110R - I have a particular fondness for rear-engined cars anyway, and that one made me drool with envy all over my keyboard (not to mention Skoda's are pretty rare in the States...) Does he have the original engine in it, or has it been upgraded? Thanks for sharing that!

Between the shop layout and especially your tool restoration I am extremely impressed with what you have accomplished - my next project is insulation for the roof on mine, am debating between fiberglass and polystyrene foam sheet myself, so thanks for the info!

All in all - well done, sir! Thank you for sharing.

cajunfirehawk: I am not a professional and still learning. I shoot Nikon D90 camera and lenses use Nikkor 18-70 mm/f3,5 - 4,5 or Nikkor 35mm/f1.8. Some results of my work can be found here:

Love rear engined Skodas, used to look forward to seeing John Haugland in the 130RS in the 80's on classic stage rallies like the Circuit of Ireland. :rocker:

Superb work.

I've been a few times to Liberec and Prague and enjoy the country and their friendly people.

What can i say is just wow :)
I used to be a Skoda dealer sales director for few years and of course i had two Skoda cars. One 2005 Octavia 2.0TDi DSG and a 2010 Superb 2.0TDI DSG. What a great cars.

Just a few knows the history of this great manufacturer. And what a history. Over hundred years a tradition in all kind of machines, not only cars. A craddle of tehnology since the begining of mechanical sistems.

Great garage, great cars and great passion and i am sure you are a great person who represents very well the manufacturer from Mlada Boleslav.

At a first glance, somebody may think i exagerate with good words about Skoda, but not at all if that person really knows what Skoda was and why not, it is in this contemporary days.

Love the car, garage and the restorations. Also love the old vintage Hifi, I have lots of old restored Hifi here as well. 70's Kenwood and JBL in my "man cave"

I want to see some close up shots of the "Hot Wheels" or what the toy cars you have around the wall!

Yesterday I finished holders seats and tested with a new steering wheel and sustained management. So far it looks good, I'm going to solve anchoring belts. Photos only just from a mobile phone, excuse the quality.
