In recent history I have written a great deal about the older, less valuable cars that I have enjoyed access to, but so far haven't written anything about a car that is genuinely worthless. Until today, that is.
And every time a low-end conveyance comes my way I tend to wax all lyrical on how such a machine does "everything a new car can, at a hundredth the price" or somesuch. Often, it's true. But that aside, could I ever be persuaded to put my money where my mouth is and descend the motoring ladder still further, from the grim reality of owning a Rover 800 to an even lower existence?. Could I ever be persuaded to own a car like this Skoda? Well, sadly but honestly, the answer is probably no.
