I haven't been able to buy Italian team kit for over a year now because of the Skoda sponsorship. I mean, _Skoda_?! What an ugly name. And cheap cars. And not Italian. Dave S. -- E. Dronkert |

The longest established motor manufacturer still producing, except Daimler and Renault; and producer of cars widely regarded as the most reliable and best value for money currently produced in Europe. Yes, OK, they're essentially Volkswagens these days, but Volkswagens with Skoda badges on have fewer faults than Volkswagens with VW badges on. No, I don't own one, and never have. http://www.topgear.com/content/featu...ries/01/3.html -- (Simon Brooke) http://www.jasmine.org.uk/~simon/ ;; Semper in faecibus sumus, sole profundum variat. |

WWBD (What Will Bjarne Drive?) I would guess that distancing themselves from basso is a predominant motivator (as he was a focus of the pre tour withdrawal news and csc is doing very well, why else would they announce their withdrawal now ?) |
