2016-02-07 18:37 | Skoda 979 prototype series finished. 979/IV was a panel van,so I am not going to add it. |

2016-02-06 21:23 | JFK wrote If they were making this, you would need cement in back though... I don't think so, I can't remind any light front-engined fwd car which won't go straight every time you try to turn on slippery ground. :P BTW. Do you know why it won't went into serial production? |

2016-02-06 21:09 | fck wrote Too bad it just a prototype. Driving a 742 in winter without packing cement bags to the front sounds like blessing. If they were making this, you would need cement in back though... |

2016-02-05 21:20 | Again, I am sorry for panel van variant rear picture, but as far as I know, there are no pictures of passenger van variant on internet, only the two front ones and one from inside. |
 | JFK
2016-02-05 17:33 | Simply legendary car. Trnava was technically a part of Czechoslovakia, thus it should be under Czech flag, but the town is located in nowadays Slovakia, so it is under Slovakian flag. Secondary picture is showing panel version, but first verson of 1203 is very rare and it is hard to find proper photos of correct version. |

2016-01-31 21:26 | fck wrote In Poland unmarked traffic police vehicles sometimes also don't use beacons on top In czech laws the beacon must be placed on top of the vehicle and it must be visible from all sides + some other laws that new Skoda police cars violate. fck wrote And also red/blue beacons are used by the first and last emergency vehicle in the column. Do you want to know the explanation why in CZ are not Blue/red beacon. Because someone could think that it is a breaking light... Great explanation. And the president of CZ police is lying about the fact that it is a first time in europe that our police cars doesnt have beacons on top. |

2016-01-31 19:41 | Desscythe17 wrote Unmarked police cars in the Netherlands also have no beacon on top. Only a light behind the windshield I think. I guess it is not against the law in your country, but here it is, just like red/blue beacons on emengercy vehicles. -- Last edit: 2016-01-31 19:50:32 |

2016-01-08 20:48 | www.uloz.to/xPv2Bu5Y/upir-z-feratu-srt there are subs, they should fit nicely. Password is Ferat Known mistake - near the end of the movie the Ferat is reffered as German brand, it is not true. The car origin was never explicitly told, it is only a "foregin brand". At the back end of Ferat Rally Team truck you can see in one moment NF sticker, hinting that the car could be from Norfolk Island. -- Last edit: 2016-01-08 20:48:47 |

2016-01-07 20:03 | Damn, the movie was good. Cross between Christine (victim cant be without Ferat) and Race with the Devil (bystanding people think that the main guy [who is trying to prove Ferat is running on blood] is a sick freak, and they will not help him, even when his lovely Fiat with him inside at the end of the movie is..... As soon as I get english subtitles, I will post them there. And by the way, model year is wrong - the car in its original shape (already listed) is indeed from 1971, but the changes that ended up as this, were done in 1981. |

2015-12-17 18:00 | Today, I went on internet and I found this: skoda-virt.cz/cz/auta/favorit-a-felicie/10026-ota-jezevcik/ It is only one of approx 2-8 Pickups with very long wheelbase that were made in Cesana and it is still a car, not a Electrolux fridge. Its a technicaly a commercial car, so I am not going to upload it on WCS, but its interesting. |
| JFK
2015-12-03 17:25 | This car is infamously known for tragic car accident shortly after it was released for sale, where its driver, Ludvik Kalma - boss of Skoda Auto was killed. Picture of wreck here: i.idnes.cz/11/113/cl6/JB3f6655_FO00047742.jpg Also after release of new Octavia, this car was sold as Octavia Tour. -- Last edit: 2015-12-03 17:28:55 |

2015-12-03 14:40 | Tech spec might be little bit off, since I have a feeling that these are from a pickup eltra. Odd thing is, that in this photo, normal one is shown: elweb.info/dokuwiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?w=600&tok=f64618&media=skoda:skoda2.jpg Car wasnt available normally in CZ, only 9 were bought by Czech mail. |

2015-11-07 13:24 | Felicia Fun was also available as Felicia Midi Fun. It had big plastic cover above truck bed, often seen on ordinary Felicia Pickups and Vanplus. There were 3 colors available, yellow, orange and green, but only for bumpers, rollbar etc. |

2015-11-05 15:58 | Engine used in this isnt same that Felicia uses. This is czech-engineered engine, but to Felicia they used older and heavier VW engine with less power. |
