Skoda Octavia goes over the top to keep under the radar

FOR people who spend inordinate amounts of time trolling the highways and by-ways of our bejewelled isle, flying under the radar is a very important element of their daily lives.

Avoiding the potential carnage that is a minute-by-minute threat is one thing; avoiding speed camera vans and the long reach of the Gardaí is quite another.

Such matters are part of daily life for most of the people who might be termed ‘driving drivers’ — those motorists for whom getting from A to B in the swiftest possible time is a working necessity and not just a whimsical thrill. Thus, having the right tool to do the job is absolutely essential and finding such a suitable beast is not always the thing of a moment.
