Ralph has borrowed a Skoda.......

........and has a friend with a very big tank. This is James from Manby Action and his Sherman tank.

You could tell what was going to happen.

It wasn't worth anything - we'd already sold the petrol....

Don't think the Skoda will get through the next MOT... Nothing new there...

What do you call a Skoda with a tank on the roof?

Czech Mate! (Thanks for suggesting that Woz)

Who adds: In some slavic languages the word "skoda" (it's pronounced shkoda) means harm or pity.
