Cool Wall Fridge Magnets (2)

Now had a chance to put my Top Gear Cool Wall fridge magnets up.

In my 'Sub-Zero' category, I've got the Aston Martin V8 Roadster, the Alfa Spider, the Alfa 8C, the Skoda Roomster, the Porsche Cayman and the Ford Focus ST.

There are magnets for the presenters as well in the TG set. I'm afraid that while Messrs Clarkson, Hammond and May are all brilliant at what they do, they are all in the 'Uncool' category on my fridge door. That's because they're all white middle-class, middle-aged men who are obsessed with cars - there's no way anyone who falls into this category (and I'd include myself in this) can regarded as cool. The mysterious Stig? Now that's a different matter - his magnet is in the 'Sub-Zero' section.

Praktik - a stylish Skoda for white van man

Discovered this on Skoda's international site - not sure if or when it's coming to the UK.


It looks as though what they've done is blank out the side windows on the Roomster; according to a report in the online version of the Financial Times Deutschland, the Praktik has a more basic spec and lower pricing. That should allow tradesmen who want something that's both practical and nice to drive to have their cake and eat it; perhaps the charming advertising campaign Skoda is running in the UK at the moment for the Fabia should have been held back for the Praktik.
