I happen to drive a Skoda Elegance which was voted towcar of its class and now discover that my Silver420 has won its category in the caravan of the year, both according to the Caravan Club.

Am I on trend or am I on trend!!

I also drive a Skoda that is tow car of the year, but my Skoda is Octavia estate 1986cc 4x4, real great car for towing and great car to drive.

You are a puppet to the marketeers that is all.

But if it makes you feel better then enjoy wallowing in the glory.

I can almost feel the envy coming all the way up from Sussex.

You must realise that I had these prior to their winning awards.
I am a trend setter

I believe you were influenced to buy a Holtkamper by seeing how your style idol lived

I believe I was influenced after being shown over dozens of Holtkamper bedrooms by their female Dutch owners.

But things aren't to badcnow I have one as I now take my turn showing the bedroom arrangements to female karsten owners wanting to upgrade.

But I'd heard that you couldn't get yours up any longer and couldn't keep up with the requests, so had to trade down.

But are they still tow car of the year now we all know the figures for emissions and fuel consumption were all fiddled.

What else has VW fiddled but hasn't been found out about yet.

Personally I think my Peugeot Partner is a much better car for me.
