Not sure your grammar is quite right on the second phrase. Should be "Enough power to have GTi's eating dust"

chris_newell41 · 30-01-2006, 14:14

ha ha good banner. did you not get someone to check this before you posted it?

is it a true hot hatch? i hope not I didn't want one of them!

kilpijoki · 30-01-2006, 14:16

nobody checked it for me, so sorry if there are typos

Isn't it a hot hatch?? I believe top gear rated it that way

***DGW*** · 30-01-2006, 14:52

NIce banner. Perhaps the members above would like to translate it back into Finnish for you and you can then assess their efforts.

PS: How about - Enough power to make GTIs eat dust.

chris_newell41 · 30-01-2006, 14:53

is the mini cooper a hot hatch?I believe the fabia is more than a warm hatch but not a hot hatch. like a mild curry!!! warm temperature but if your not used to spicy curry, it's hot!

mild curry's are soo under estimated!

So why bother if you can't write in english? DOH! I can't write in Finnish so I just don't bother. Stick to what you are good at.

Goochie · 30-01-2006, 15:10

Does it need a discaimer along the bottom that reads

GTIs will only eat dust if they are racing up a hill between 27 and 36 mph and the Fabia is in-gear at the time. Failure to race in these conditions may result in the Fabia driver loosing the race. If the Fabia is made to eat dust a full report on the situation must be posted on Briskoda.net so all forum users can laugh at you. Racing on public roads is not legal and can be dangerous, it is particularly dangerous if your Fabia is suffering from misted up windows, creaking seats, baggy leather retrims, rubbish brakes and puddles in the footwells

**roo** · 30-01-2006, 15:12

kilpijoki, good effort there mate, just the punctuation that people have already pointed out

Fair enough the only way you will find a hot Fabia is if one is on fire, but that has not stopped people buying it and being happy.

This is an English language forum and kilpijoki uses it and trys in his best English to communicate. So he is not perfect, neither are any of us and he's probably learnt it as a second language much faster than you could learn Finnish or any of the other norse languages.

If could read and write half as well as that in a different language I'd be happy

Markus, you keep posting on here .....I'm impressed

Me too.

kilpijoki · 30-01-2006, 17:07

be speechless with surprise is something I thoughted, that's something like: "laittaa jauhot suuhun!" in finnish.

Sorry about my mistake, I'll make a new one tomorrow, if somebody still interested

Look at you getting all lary cause you've fixed your car!!!

lozgti · 30-01-2006, 18:36

Nice effort Markus.Look forward to the next one

.

It is definately a hot hatch through the gears.People only say warm because of Skoda's claimed 0-60 of about 9 secs and the top end of about 127 ish both of which don't relect the cars important performance.

Between 20 and 90 (the ONLY significant figures),nothing much touches it(don't lets talk after 90 though

Think it is same 0-20 as a lotus elise if that means anything!

kilpijoki · 31-01-2006, 09:40

ag.morley · 31-01-2006, 09:48

I seem to be having a problem, some pictures I can see, some I cannot.

Goochie · 31-01-2006, 10:24
