A happy Leon's getting a newISH Furby

L-Y-K · 01-05-2008, 21:40

Its been hell not having a car at the moment. and i've been poorly most of the week.

but my mum rung me up to tell me something i shouldn't know just yet, to cheere me up a bit!

well it did! my dads looking for a run about this summer while hes not working until term time again. so hes going to pass his fabia on to me

until he starts work hes not gonna look for anyhting but apart from run about. so i've got to act all supprised when he tells me!

He said to my mum he'd rather me drive around in something safe than a rust bucket...especially for the amount of driving i do... but my mum thinks it should be the other way round! haha. (hes a bit of a mother hen)

i got to wait a couple of weeks but heres my new puppy

a 1.9 tdi comfort x plate with a nicely run in engine at 129k!!

i hope it should be ok for another 40 at least!

hes been serviced at skoda from day 1, and has had 3 owners i beleive.
and has been looked after everytime i go back from uni to give it a valet for my dad. oh and my old wheels!

1st thing im gonna change is the interior though!! is a nasty yellow!

could this be the 1st Czech Republic racing green fabia rs wanna be?!

Yeh at 129k its not even run in! She will last for decades. Just no drifting in this one.

Or not on the public road, anywho.

Stunning little motor though, very impressed.
