Hey,
my name is Carsten and I am passionated about cars. You have heart of a place where you have to check your mirror while driving 300 kph, because you can be past by someone driving 340 kph? Yes! That place is real and it is called Autobahn. On the German Autobahn we do not have a speedlimit at around 70% of the tracks and I just love it, so I will share the love with you. I film while driving POV style, that you can get the feeling of what it is like to drive on the german Autobahn. So turn the volume up, lean back and enjoy the ride! :-D

What car should I test next? ❤
A Skoda Favorit, (or Ferrari F40 ;-).
Rapid 135 5kvalt, i've heard they can go as fast as 140km/h thanx to that 5th kvalt
what about an even older version of skoda? Skoda 100 or 1000MB? :) Or did you ever heard about the Velorex "car"? :)
@@Steve-by5xp velorex is NOT a car! Not at all! It has 250ccm jawa engine and is for 1 person. Capiche?
@@paveljelinek772 did you nnotice the ".." sign? maybe you should try to learn... Capiche?
Greetings from the Czech Republic (former Czechoslovakia), the country of "Škodovka". It is strange that the Š120L drove so slowly during the test drive. If the accelerator pedal was really used for full power, it is possible that the string controlling the carburetor is not set correctly and will not fully open the 1st stage of the carburetor. But a more realistic possibility is that the car did not meet the emission standard during the inspection, and the technician carrying out the measurement unprofessionally tightened the mixture enrichment screw. A lean carburetor then supplies the engine with half of what it really needs for full power. In general, Škoda 742.12 (Škoda 120 -, L, LE, GL) does not have a very powerful engine, but it does not run this badly, with a well-tuned engine. :-/
The more powerful versions of the engines for the better equipped cars 742.12X and 742.13 (Škoda 120 LS, GLS, LX + Škoda 130 L, GL, Rapid 130) fared much better, but just like the base model, they suffered greatly from unprofessional intervention in the carburetor during emission control.
On the contrary, it was a well-known rule among the owners of these vehicles that the well-run, weaker Škoda 742.10 engine (Škoda 105 S, L, GL, SP) gives better driving characteristics than the stronger Škoda 120 engine. Good luck!
Thanks for your explanations. Yes I was on full throttle. Since this is not my car, I will forward your informations to the owner of the car. But I can follow your explanation, since I wrench on cars myself 😊
@@notempolimit I get from facelifted Skoda 120L with well tuned engine 155 on speedo. It is more than 25 years ago... For sure in reality not over 145km/h and it tooks some time. But this on video is really bad - engine and carburettor is not in good tune or as an OHV engine it is also sensitive to bad valve clearance. Of course I have to say, that Skoda 120L over 140 on speedo have to have chassis in really good condition, otherwise it is challenging for driver on speeds over 120. Easy to maintain and not so bad car as many think about, but need still some work... Really good cars are (everything facelifted "M" models after 1984) rare 130, every equipment line, and 120GLS with 1,2L engine higher compression and modified angled swing axle. 120LS do not have this axle, i think.
@@mariozetik I drove 135 km/h GPS on my 1986 Škoda 130L (the speedo was way off showing ridiculous numbers). I was afraid to drive any faster because of the brakes (I fixed them since).
Amen! Couldn’t have said it better. You seem to know these cars too 😃greetings from Holandsko.
@@MrSkoda105s After all, the Škoda 105 and 120 were the most frequently represented cars on local roads, until sometime in the mid-1990s, or until ca 2000. Very frequently. It was owned by all our neighbors, uncle, grandparents... I myself owned a Škoda 130GL for a while. Today, all this is a rare piece even here in the Czech Republic, collectors pay high sums for nice, original pieces.
Considering the size and weight, and that it should officially do 140kph instead of barely over 100, i guess there is something seriously wrong with the carburetor. Looks more like 35hp at best instead of 50hp.
neskutočná nostalgia toto video ... všetky tie zvuky Škodovky pamatám dodnes 👍👍
Same here !
Best engine sound in its class !
I like these old cars like Skoda and Lada Niva.
Cheers from The Netherlands.
I remember this car - my aunt had one. My parents had the "M" version of it - which was basically a facelift. The good thing about testing Skoda 120L or 105L is that the maximum speed you can test anywhere in the world without violating the max speed on highways :D
My Dad bought new one, 5 speed 120L in the 1989.
I learned how to drive a car in it. Lovely engine sound and quite fun to drive in the snow/ice. Still miss this car :(
There is clearly something wrong with the one in the video.
Car is capable of no less than 135kmh.
I bet there is something wrong with the carburator.
My father´s car in 80´s, 120km/h without problem 🙂❤
Jako držet volant otočený výrazně doleva při jízdě do pravotočivé zatáčky by mě dost bralo nervy, ale i tak díky za video. Holt nostalgie.
my neighbor owned a 105l like this when i was a kid. I remember driving in that car and the sound of the engine humming from the back. I remember he had a problem with it when it was slippery. he had to put sacks of cement or sand forward in the trunk for balance.
Too funny 🤣. I had relatives that had Skodas and I could totally see them doing that.
Must be the slowest 120L I've seen. I had many from the 1000mb to the 135Ric. Should do 140 Km/h if properly set up and maintained
140 by GPS or speedometer 😂
Best cruising speed without going deaf is between 80 and 100km/h. Steering box does not make it a joy to drive. Later 120's from 84 onwards ( ones with a wider wheel track and steering rack ) are miles better. Know what i am saying as i have a 79 Ls and an 88 L.
Noro I have a one of 5 g a from Western Germany Market and maximum Speedwas 115 . Niemal 120 instead od 140 Was gonić about 125. Диодный Каменистый Car which was Going slower than it was should in Materials
Stock 120 can not go much above 110..120km/h, there is just not enough power (some 37kW at the peak power rpm) to overcome the air drag. Yes, you may tune it a bit up (increase compression,...; original is designed for 91 octane fuel, now standard is 95 so it has some room for it), but then we are not talking about original factory settings.
I owned one in the UK for my first car (a 120 like this one but we called it the Skoda Estelle), back in 1989. It was definitely good for 130kmh (only just!) so I think this one had poor carbs or ignition contacts.
I love these videos. You can really experience the timecapsule where this video puts you in. Wonderful Great job!
Thank you very much! ❤️
I grew up in the exact same car with the same color. Thanks for the memories:)
You're welcome!
I had one too 120LS. Got 145km/h according to speedometer. It was really different car compared with Ladas and Moskvitches, something like between Lada and ZAZ. It was quite comfortable and quiet.
Drive was firm compared with moskvitch and saloon was warm. This car doesnt have valve seals and I have no idea how did they get it ok from factory, because mine was blue smoky until I installed there Ladas valve seals with extra springs. It was 90-s and original piston rings were about average person month salary here in Estonia, so I installed there ZAZ 965 piston rings and then blue smoke dissapeared. The engine locates in the boot, so it was possible to drive it in wintertime even with summer tyres :) But anyway it felt comfortable, because of textile floor. and seats. Most soviet cars were rubber everywhere inside. And first car with tahhometer.
Mein erstes Auto zwischen 1991 und 1992. Ich hatte die LS Version. Neben der Handbremse befindet sich der Choke. Meiner hatte damals noch Drehzahlmesser, heizbare Heckscheibe, Nebelscheinwerfer. Problematisch war die Strassenlage. Motor hinten, Antrieb hinten. Alles was über 90 km/h ging, war unfahrbar. (zu leicht vorne) Man hat das Auto kaum in der Spur gehalten. Viele haben mir geraten eine große Gehwegplatte vorne in den Kofferraum zu legen. Aber dann wäre ja der sensationelle Spritverbrauch von 4, 5 Liter auf 100 km Futsch gewesen. Meiner war Bj. 1981. 1992 habe ich ihn verschrotten lassen und habe mich für einen Wartburg 353S entschieden. Der lag wie ein Brett auf der Strasse und schaffte 130 km/h.
Liebe Grüße
verze LS měly ve standartu otáčkoměr
I love how unlocking the door was basically waving the key around somewhere inside the keyhole, and the "key" for the starter is basically a lump of iron. Tell me the car has been stolen, without telling me the car has been stolen xD
I think, that even the 105, could manage 125-130 , with 4 people inside .
110L can for sure
Yeah that engine is obviously not well fettled or healthy. The 120 should be good for 90mph (140-150kmh)with a wind behind it.
It's to slow. Škoda 120 can go faster.. It seems like Škoda 105 in average shape. But nice video ❤
Yes you can think about it. It wasn't able to go Faster than 115 n on-board speedo.
Mali sme 105 S ja sám som išiel 145 kmh.
My Summer Car
Moje prvé auto. Ale bola to pofejsliftova škoda 120 L. Myslím, že z roku 84. Volali sme ju škoda 120 Všehohúl. Lebo sme v nej húlili vsetko od cigariet, cez trávu až po pervitín 😂. Niekolko krat som ju nabúral. Za mňa najlepšia Škoda. Po nej som mal fabiu a na nej sa kazilo skoro vsetko, pri tom bola ako nova 43 000 km najazd pri kúpe. Vďaka nej som už viac do škodovky nešiel. Vymyslel som aj vtip na fabiu.
STRETNÚ SA DVAJA KAMARATI A JEDEN HOVORÍ DRUHÉMU.
PRVÝ: POČUJ MOJA FABIA, JE AKO ŠPECIÁL Z WRC.
DRUHÝ: A TO JE TAKÁ RÝCHLA
PRVÝ: NIE, ALE NA HODINU JAZDY, PRIPADÁ HODINA STRÁVENÁ V SERVISE.
😁zdravim .Mame s timto autem dost podobne zazitky.Ale radsi uz nikdy🥴
Pamatuji jak jsme jeli škodou ale 1000mb přes Ostrava-Svinov, podle tachometru 140kmh...prostě ručička byla až za čísly.. Byl brutální zvuk 🎉🎉🎉
bude to už 20+ let a z hlavy mi nikdo tento strach nevezme 😊😂
:D
Přesně takovou včetně barvy jsem měl. Bez nostalgie - strašný krám.
To věřím, táta měl žigulíka (a já teď taky), a říkal že škodovka prý nejhorší auto které kdy řídil... :D
36 let v rodině a naprosto v pohodě auto. 🤣
@@DAVIDsubert1995 Když jsem na parkovišti u supermarketu otevřel kufr a viděl skrz na asfalt, zatoužil jsem po změně stroje.
@@brankoslavglagol89 to se pak nesmis divit ze to bylo strasny auto ono to pak vypovida i o tom jak bylo udrzovane atd...v tomhle pripade klasickej Jezedackej pristup........
Byly to šílený krámy.
it looks amazing!
Yes, was such a nice day!
Man it felt like there was a rat in the car with you having fun 😅😅
I don't understand the need to trash other peoples cars that they clearly love...great video! I have an 81 120ls, its unrefined and slow but I love it!
Интересная конструкция и очень стильный дизайн,приятный автомобиль,всегда нравился.
Интересная конструкция и очень стильный дизайн,приятай ответы ❤😂🎉😢
Profesorica vozila žutu škodu 70,prava vremena!
I remember very good. If I was a child my father had a Skoda 110 48PS (the older Modell).
He drives inside a town allowed 50 km/H with
140 km/H full drunken.
Also 140 km/H (speedometer) no problem.
)))))))
Something was wrong with this engine. It did not sound right too at 2500 rpm. This car could get 150 on the dash (probably 140 GPS).
Sound like it runs only on 3 cylinders....
Der klingt so schön:)
Měl jsem takovou 105...hrozný krám. Po půl roce a prožité zimě šla pryč.
Nice video!
Pięknie zobrazowane jak się zmieniła motoryzacja na przestrzeni lat i to na lepsze. Kierowca Skody musi walczyć o każdy kilometr i o to by utrzymać się w pasie ruchu. Pozdrawiam i dziękuję za film.
Szép teljesítmény ettől az autótól. Nekem is ez volt az első.
Nevím jak, ale v roce 1998 jsme ve 4 lidech jeli Škodou 105 L 150 km/h. Na 4 stupňové převodovce. Dobrý vozidla.
Ja som tiež mal takúto istú a 140 bez problémov aj na horších cestách.
Ein sehr schöner Skoda, gut erhalten und mittlerweile sehr rahr geworden. Man sollte mal was mit der Leistung machen, sehr großes Spiel.
Respect pentru bătrâna skoda am avut în familie o skoda s 100,erea o mașină robustă caroseria avea un dizain plăcut tablă groasă,protejată împotriva coroziunii impecabil. Minusurile pe care le avea ereau:motorul prea mic,ca putere sub 1000 c³ amplasat în spate răcirea motorului deficitară. căldura în habitaclu cam cum ereau și caloriferele lui Ceaușescu în acea perioada. Totuși și acum iubesc amintirile legate de această mașină mie mia fost dragă.ar fi trebuit să o restaurez din păcate am casato😢😢😢
A friend has a slightly modified Skoda 1000 MB, with the original engine, and he was able to drive 178km/h according to the GPS. Personally, I would be a little scared at that speed with this car, but he wasn't :D
очень интересно 👍👍
Hello 🙂
Maybe the pre-ignition is too big. The carburetor has 2 throats, but maybe only one works. Carburetor adjustment is not good. (either you get too little fuel or too much air.) You should check the candles. Compression check. Easy to assemble.
I have got one 120 L ( tuning ) 😉
From Hungary.
Can i sand you a picture?
Hello, yes you can send me a picture and some
Tuning Tipps if you like.
My dad drove Skoda 105 from Poland to Sweden near arctic circle 30years ago. It was a great car, it had nice engine sound, but cooling system was fatal. That car often overheated.
And do you know why?
The problem was the thermostats, which were MADE IN FRANCE. They would either open early (the heater wouldn't heat) or late (the water in the engine would boil).
Super. Pozdrawiam z Polski. Poland.
Прикольнаый звук сцепления,мяуканье котенка
Skoda cars are pretty decent these days, but back then... oh dear! Still, I agree that it should have gone faster than 110 kph (about 70 mph), I know someone who owned one and it could easily do 70 mph without struggling.
Miluju to😍
Remembered of Operation Flashpoint - Resistance - trip from Petrovice to Lipany
Mám 120 LS z roku 1980. Sto jede v klidu, víc už je to problém, motor má skoro 300 tisíc bez GO...pokud je motor v pořádku, jede i max. dle dokladů. Video 👍
Trepeš bludy 120l a 300 tisíc bez generálky ? Nereálne , 120l dala Max 100 tisic km a GO motora , niektoré aj po 60 tisíc
@@jozeftoth8227 Auto máme od novoty, vím co píšu.
Ich hatte ein neueres Modell, einen Škoda 120, und meine Höchstgeschwindigkeit betrug 145 km/h, ohne jegliche Modifikationen. Es hängt stark davon ab, wie der Motor eingefahren wurde.
Is that first SE on the dashh !?
Yes!
Great! My clutch pedal has the same squeaking noise. I think it could do a bit faster than 105 km/h on GPS. Weren’t there any cables under the carpet/pedal? The wiring loom could be in the way. But anyway it’s fast enough, engine sounds healthy. Greetings from the Netherlands.
The papers say 132kp/h so yes there schould be something wrong. If your near Leipzig and want your Skoda on the channel, just send me an email and let me know. Greetings from Germany
Every year I’m in Leipzig (Podelwitz) when I’m on my way to CZ. We sleep there. It’s nice to be on your channel or just meet with you, but I never do top speeds with my cars. 😉
@@MrSkoda105s That's not far from me. Just let me know. 🙂
@@notempolimit Awesome! I'll let you know!
The sqeaking is simply epic
One of those cars where you are using a calendar to measure acceleration 😂
Be van rohadva és emiatt nem nyit a kettes torok. Ennél még egy Trabant is többet megy 🙂
Ez a ritka és túl kímélő használat átka.
A második torkot vakum nyitja, ha néha nincs megmozgatva-terhelés, akkor van ez.
Illetve, lehet még, hogy megnyúlt a gázbowden és nincs maxigáz.
I had one in the past. There was 143 km/h in car specification.
Great Škodillac, my grandfather has same 35 years ago but it was red and with circle shape front lights. Intresting speedmeter for 8 mins drive it always shows 36.776 km, was it maintenanced by turkish gastarbeiters in Germany? 🤣 Anyway, great video!
The joint of the clutch pedal need a little lubrication
You need love that squiking gear changing:)
The car is quite stable in those speeds, well at least on the video.
I can tell you it was not stable at all, I had to be really smooth with the steering.
You may wish considering the speed test of any VW model with the 80 HP 1.6 TD intercooler (LLK). Savage beasts them all, you will be surprised what this powerplant is capable of in a Nasenbär Passat.
I'm surprised you rolled down your window before hitting the highway.Didnt expect that before hitting the top speed
Anything can happen at that speed.At least you didnt have to worry about the speed limit
Rpm a 100 km /h. ?
I do remember by father mentioned running close to 135 km/h with our roughly 8 years old Skoda 105L in the late 80s on German highway. Souded scary to me even back in the days cause as a back seat passanger I do recall that horrific engine sound from behind my seat ;-). Vaaccuum cleaner on steroids.
AlmostExactly the same car my parents bought in November 1981 - in Czechoslovakia. There were just 2 differencies - colour was brown and motor was a little bit smaller: 1050 cm3. This car has 1200 cm3 (105 L vs 120 L). Otherwise everything is exactly the same incl. front and back lights...
Docela tragicky výsledek u tohoto kusu. Já si pamatuju že jiné stodvacitky šly přemluvit i na 130 kmh
На Запорожце ещё надо прохватить :)
А этот писк - это белка в колесе которая его разгоняет ?
very nice drive, but is the wheel alighnment done right? or possibly the loose front axle joints in general?
Axle joints were fine but there is a lot of play in the steering. There is supposed to be a screw to tighten it up more. Owner is aware and will get it fixed.
105 L s těmi hranatýma světlama jsme na podzim 1981 koupili.
Š 105 L max 162 km/h. My car 😂
No paráda s užovkou upalovat po dálnici 120 km perfektní asi bez úprav nebo ne?😊
And why is your odometer stuck in place?
He had a friend who wasn't real, and he went 140 km/h with 4 people, GPS wasn't there then, so a car like this can surely go 120-130 km/h, there's an engine or carburettor problem here!
Jo ten vrzající spojkový pedál jsem úplně zapomněl 🥲
My first car Škoda 120 GLS
Probably a mouse under gas pedal 😂
Head and tail lights almoust looks like Jaguars. 😊😊😊
Egy jól beállított 120-asnak 150 a végsebessége. Én 110-nél tettem 4-be😂
Nice way how to "unlock" car at the begining :D
Thanks! 😂
česky užovka, říkám jim dunihlav. Moc to nejelo, uměly víc a snadněji.
ne tohle mi fakt už vůbec nechybí, i když to bylo skoro nerozbitný a lehce opravitelný
ty to máš nablejskaný, v hodně dobrým stavu
ale když jsem s tím jel já víc jak 80, tak se to nedalo udržet na silnici a o zatáčkách ani nemluvím
když si do toho dnes člověk sedne, tak nechápe ten rozdíl
Es fährt,manche währen froh über so einen Auto,Hauptsache mann kommt trocken und warm von A nach B,und wer hat schon so einen Auto.
Should do 130 km/t..
She's likes the wind :D :D
A modest and honest car, i like it.
Yes! And very special with the rear engine.
We had that car for a while in late 80s. It was terrible driveable and so slow, my dad sold it away. :D
For most people in czech republic expert me Is model 120L total thrash. But 110LS, 125 Garde, 130 Rapid or 130 GLS, that Is another cup of Tea.
Must be governor installed engine otherwise 130-140 is possible
Thats NOT s TOP SPEED!
Why does the engine under-rev and "maximum" drive at half throttle? The engine has a maximum of 5500 revolutions, so why does it drive at a maximum of 3000? Its maintained 110Km/h can be driven even on a triple, just by the way. Otherwise, my experience is: in two people and with 300 kg of boards, we drove 150 - 170 km/h on the highway, but with brakes it is much worse 😀
Shell V Power Racing Petrol with 100 Octane is very Good! It helos to go a littlebit faster!
Better than anything) on first gear)
do a similar test in model S plaid like you did with taycan
Good idea!
Zitat aus dem Header: "Auf den deutschen Autobahnen gibt es auf etwa 70% der Strecken keine Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung und ich liebe es einfach". Ich fahre pro Jahr rund 40.000km dienstlich und mein Gefühl würde sagen es ist umgekehrt. Auf 70% der Strecke ist wegen Straßenschäden, Brückenschäden, Lärmschutz oder Schutz vor irgendwas 120. Ich liebe es auch wenn es frei ist, nicht zum zügellosen Rasen, sondern wenn die Piste frei ist, einfach mit Tempomat mit 160 durchrollen.
Neverless, geiles Video vom Skoda, ein Auto aus meiner Kindheit. Toll dass solche Autos erhalten werden.
Добрый день. Как жалобно пищит педаль сцепления, просит капнуть масло на ось! Создалось впечатление, что Эстель тише и мягче на ходу чем Фаворит но звук закрытия двери жестче. Создалось впечатление, что Вы не доверяли этой машине и не давили на газ в полную силу, думаю она может быстрее. Возможно причина в техническом состоянии. Спасибо за впечатления!
Проблема с карбюратором
Proč pořád šlapete po těch myších?!😅😅
Come on! It is 120L, 38 kW, 4 speed gearbox, it has to do 135 km/h w/o any problems!
But it feels like 340 in an audi
Why doe it sound like cat is dying inside of your car? 😀
Bitte, nechste Test mit Škoda 100
Video hezké, ale Top speed určitě ne. Spíš tak nostalgická jízda. Moje 120L 1983 jela na čtyřku tachometrových 155 km/h a 120GLS 1987 na 5q 180 km/h
BMW E28
105 reaches 140 (true 130) so 120 should do better. People don't like being overtaken by 'old cheap cars' so you need a thick skin to drive one.
In Germany you'll get thumbs up all the time, driving vintage cars. And people start conversation with you when you park somewhere, about the car.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
