At a recent press event, Skoda proudly presented its new Enyaq, which, according to the screaming big decals all over it, had claimed the Guinness World Records title for the longest ice drift. Apparently this historic event occurred on a frozen Lake Stortjarnen, in Krokom, Sweden, on Thursday 19 January 2023.
Thinking no more of it, because sliding around on ice without anything to bang into isn’t that big a deal, as Bambi could testify, it wasn’t until I came to write this review and did some cursory research that I noticed that the ice slide went on for no less than – Roy Castle voice – 7.351 kilometres, or about four and a half miles.
