		Tomorrow the Skoda Labia is being picked up from by the recovery company, and they've managed to sort their act out enough to give me what I believe will be a proper car. I'm told it'll be something similar to the coupe, so hopefully something a bit bigger and more comfortable, and not a phase 2 (aka falling apart) fabia.  
 
I'm told it'll be a 2l or above, but they haven't specified on petrol or diesel, 3 or 5 door, auto or manual. My bets would be either an Isignia or maybe an A4.

		Its a hire car so it will be epically boring and shit as thats pretty standard is it not?  
 
Insignia is probably a likely option TBH.

Don't think it'l be that somehow... :think:
 
My guess is a modeo of some sort, possibly a 2.0 TDCi ECOnetic.

		Anything is better than that Skoda! I used to like them, but I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to give the 6 a run for it's money noise-wise, adn I don't think I should feel the engine vibrations from the passenger seat :/ It was however hilarious when Scott tried to adjust the wingmirrors, and the plastic AROUND the control fell off in his hand....

		  Correctamundo. White 118d m-sport. Not driven it yet but it doesn't look too bad IMO and the interior is alright. Not driven it yet as they dropped it at my house. Will be having a proper drive of it tomorrow. 
 
At least it's new (just over 1k mileage) and not a 'phase 2' skoda (aka bits falling off)

		It's actually a 1995cc engine    Not sure why they're badged up as the 118d instead of a 120d to be honest, but yeah. Pretty comfy to drive. Got a fairly long drive tomorrow after work so I'll post up a better review kinda thing then. May also drive it to camping this weekend to save money on fuel, will see whether Kim is desperate to show off her 6
