I have the opportunity to buy a super high-mileage (+400k miles) Skoda Octavia for £200. Would you want to see a series on it? And if so, what should we do with it? Alex Kersten 01 Mar 2018 Sponsored PostsComments Inspecting the engine for wear and tear would be good And also maybe an acceleration test to see how much slower it is then when it left the factory and also for rust Sleeper!!!! A series to see how much work it is to make 600hp in a 4 cylinder turbo would be cool Test it’s endurance? Drive it from lands end to John O’groats, or do a whole lap of the M25 Would love to see that! Ever done a demolition derby? You can read minds. Make it a racecar cheap projects: yes. Too cheap projects wehere you destroy the car at the end: no. I second this comment, let us see what an old car can achieve with a bit of care rather than how much abuse it can survive. For sure! I’d love to see a teardown of how the drivetrain and everything looks after that mileage. Try and do a bit of Gymkhana Please please do one more series like you did with the Lexus (turning a regular car into a track weapon) My thoughts exactly Make it a grand tourer and drive to Monaco in it.
