      Disgusting to have one of the best regular car restorations and _that_ in such close proximity.
      Absolutely disgusting; I mean make your money where you can sure, but keep that trash away from something as meaningful as Miles....

    There's a Škoda Octavia in Czech Republic that have done 1.000.000 km (that's 621 371,2 miles). When it hit it that 1mil km, tacho didn't even shown numbers, just x's. It's now in Škoda museum, and Škoda gave the man, who owned it, fully new Octavia. Class.

      Why? The last owner can't have loved it that much, it was in a horrendous state aside from the mechanicals of the car. And the CT team and/or their associates spent lots of time and money to get it looking how it does now. The old owner doesn't deserve to be given that for free.

    I think I speak for many when I say I want a Miles T-Shirt.
    But the biggest question I have is, what will become of him now? Car Throttle camera car? A company pool car? Or will Skoda be taking him to show off at events of how well Miles has done?
    If not, I’m sure I’m not the only person here who would quite happily make an offer to buy him.

    This is just embarrassing for everyone. Gringeworthy
    Go back to this guy and surprise him. It's never too late (to be great).
    The positive karma will help you with other projects and more people will give you stuff for being a great dude.
    We will pay you to give him his car back. I know you will do the right thing
    EDIT: being going through the comments and everyone wants you to give it to Russell. I cannot imagine anyone saying: "nah, Russell does not deserve it". What a great guy, Russell was clearly very emotional. Oh well, guess I'll just keep watching Car SOS.

    • @Grunchy005

      I spent several minutes of my time watching this series, and I'd personally be happier if Russel gets Miles back. Maybe some of you others don't agree, I'm just saying what makes sense to me. SERIOUSLY - it's just an old car with new paint & interior. 108 horsepower? That belongs with Russel.

      And if he should give it back, how about the original, *1st* owner? I don't have an opinion on the matter, but I want you to think about why he shouldn't either a *bit* more...

It went downhill from there. 42 work orders at the dealership in 18 months and 30,000 miles. Only once did it limp from one scheduled maintenance to the next. It took three pages to list everything that broke in that 3,000 miles! It was hopeless.

    The reason,why is Škoda Octavia quite good car after this amount of miles is simple. Octavia was the first C segment car from Škoda and VAG can´t do any mistakes,when this car comes to market. On same wheelbase VAG makes Golf mk4 , Audi A3, Toledo mk2 and Leon. Octavia was quite good looking car,with good price, liftback body with large boot and legendary TDi engines. It was a big success for eastern bloc car factory.

      They paid for it. They don't need to return it after all the hard work and money!

    Seriously mate, neck up and give him his car back. We all want to see it. It's the number one request being made for Miles. Don't let us down, your viewers and Russel!

    You just teased the poor man, lol! Give the man the surprise of his life and gift the car back!

    So what're u going to do with Miles? I hope that it goes back to Russel or to museum and not sent to the scrap yard or placed on auction.

      Knowing people in Britain, if it doesn’t go to someone responsible, it’s will got straight to scrap, real sad

    Next thing: take a 1990-2000 hot hatchback, even a modest one, and show people how to improve its performances without ruining it or turning it into a ricer.
    My suggestion: Fiat Punto Mk2 HGT or Sporting.

      That would be a nice choice for a second episode. But I own a normal 2001 Fiat Punto mk2 and I love it, so... ;)

      Buy an old Octavia 1,9 TDI for yourself and you could have your own Miles ;)
      I did, a bit over a year ago, did a bit of work on it (not as extensive as this guy, but on the other hand I did full chiptunning from 90KM to a few horses above 120KM) and I didn't do a full respray - only few bits that needed it (fenders, part of the roof - got new windshield at the same time, part of rear hatch) and full polish.
      It has only 260000 km on the "clock" and the engine says it's a bit more then 415 000 km (turning odometers is a plague in my country) so it has only about 2/3 of the mileage of Miles, but...
