Have spent the last week travelling in the Czech Republic, and yesterday I spotted my first B, a lovely blue one parked up on the edge of the Old Town in central Prague. I'd have taken a photo, but the person I was with - a former student of mine who was showing me around - would have thought I was deeply sad, so I didn't

Incidentally, that's one more than any pre-VAG Skodas (apart from a couple of very old and lovely red convertibles that were being used a tour vehicles in Prague). I thought I'd spot at least a few 120s Estelles and Rapids (the 1980s rear-engined coupe that had some rallying success) but no. I haven't even seen any Favorits, but the anonymous shape makes them more difficult to spot. Either they've all rusted away, or died of shame at all those old jokes...

Yes, but if you'd been there, you'd understand

And today, in Vienna, I saw another B, a lovely red one, and I DID take a photo, which I'll upload as soon as I can work out how to.

"There is at least 1 Barchetta in Austria".......

Yeah, I thought about starting an Austria thread but feared it might get tedious!
