Lol well I don't have anywhere to go! I live 2 miles from work so my car , thru the week does 4 miles a day!! (yes I know I could walk there in 25 mins and do no miles at all , but id rather have an extra 25 mins in bed!

) I only use £10 quids worth of petrol....a fortnight!

It might start to do more miles in the summer tho , last summer my finances were crippled from 14 months of unreliable Lancer Evo II ownership!!

Yeah they're still there , good old Conti eco Contacts , I think they will be perished before they wear out , according to my last service sheet (March) the rears still have 6 and 7 mm of tread left....

I was going to say I only thought the recommended life of a tyre was around 4 years odd.

A good clean example of a Fabia there though.

Love the seaside setting too.

Thats Cocklawburn Beach , Scremerston , Berwick upon Tweed , its only 10 mins from my door , I always take my car pics there!!

Thanx for all the compliments re the car , I suppose some of the credit has to go to its previous owner tho , he had it almost 5 yrs! I have to say that Ive driven lots of powerful flashy cars in my time (and some abosulute stinkers too!) but I really do love my little Furby! Its not the fastest , or newest or coolest car in the world but it is really good to drive and it feels like it is built to survive a nuclear winter!

RallyRed · 29-04-2006, 00:07

So are you in scotland? or is the car just first registered here?

Dmac1969 · 29-04-2006, 18:39

Im in Berwick upon Tweed ,Northumberland, about as far North you can actually be without being in Scotland! The car was registered here by Tweedmouth Skoda (now only a service dealer). Before the 51 and newer style plates came in cars registered by Berwick dealers generally had either *SH (Berwickshire) or *KS (Roxburghshire) reg prefix/suffixes. Incidentally , Berwicks postcode TD15 is actually a Berwickshire post code , despite the town not actually having been in that county since last captured by the English in 1482! (you learn something new every day , eh?!)

RallyRed · 29-04-2006, 20:13

cool I thought you were in Scotland cos i saw the S in the plate close enuff tho.
