overall a cool looking and capable wagon though. i'm looking for something similar to do back packing tour of oz, maybe thinking an old skool merc wagon at the mo...

I cant speak to the petrol variant, but after owning the TDI for a year (30,000km), I would have no hesitation taking it around oz. Despite what the internets say about cams in the diesels, the thing runs like a swiss watch and never faulters. I think like all VAG tdi's - service it with love, it will look after you.

Dude .... Looks fat. Love it. I'm always impressed when people do something a bit different. I can remember seeing a rotiform Allroad a while back that looked great.

X5 style 132 wheels look pretty sweet too on VAG. Like so:

Love these, how's the fuel? Had any problems with the bags? Still keen to get one!

Yay for allroad love!

I've been meaning to take some more shots of mine lately, but been too busy mostly. Where did you get the bra? Love the wheels.

You need to do some of this in it too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DPo5BATp9o
just remember to put in S (like I didnt) so it doesnt change up too many gears :-P

Also, I found one international seller that does a touchscreen nav/BT/DVD player thats quite good and works with the allroad/stock amp etc. I got one after looking into doing an aux in mod and decided it would be worth it to have BT streaming etc. Plug and Play!

lol, yes, i've done a few offroad helli's, haha and of course it was in manual mode! To be honest, I drive a lot of the time with the tiptronic; hate autos....

Love these, how's the fuel? Had any problems with the bags? Still keen to get one!

they're thirsty, I average low 11's per 100 but my egt sensors are cactus so it's over fueling; i'll get them coded out with the tune... no bag issues yet although the front bags and compressor were precautionarily replaced just before I bought it

FUNKAMEDIC, that skoda looks amazing!
