Another Newbie Says Hello!

uncle bulgaria · 22-05-2006, 08:58

Hi everyone!

Been into Skoda for a while now, have an early Fabia 1.4 Elegance, which we love (when it is running ok) and have just bought it a big brother!

Our Fabia was in at Bickertons (Sheffield) for a a new nearside front anti roll bar link & we were lent a new Octavia vRS for the day. Loved it so much we bought the demo car! Black Magic Pearl, 18"s & Jumbo Box. Just havent had much of a chance to try it yet!

I agree with the reviews on the forum, Bickertons have been great (both sales & service) so far.

Our Fabia came from Gordon Lambs (chesterfield) and at the time they were awful! On one memorable incident, they serviced the car & forgot to put any oil in it! Too many other incidents to say here, but I have all the evidence!! Don't know what the new site is like, but if it's the same staff, it's hardly likely to have improved!

Love the site, a real wealth of knowledge.

Post again soon,

Uncle Bulgaria

Will only find out if the weather ever improves!

Had a black Golf GTI a few years ago & said I would never have black again; however...... the deal was good enough to stop me hankering after red or silver

! I plan to use the savings to fit cruse control, rear parking aid and rear tints!

Anyone fitted one of those BMW fin style ariels? Also got any advice on keeping the grey on the seats looking good??

Oi, you got the same car as me and your'e the same age as me!, must be a mid-life crisis like me?

, welcome aboard.

uncle bulgaria · 26-05-2006, 07:53

I think were safe, according to a mate of mine it’s only a midlife crisis if your vehicle (car or bike) is fast AND yellow

! So in our cases we are either “pre” midlife or so well adjusted we are not having a crisis!!!!

Now where are my slippers

Makefish · 26-05-2006, 08:58

Yellow

, I have been toying with the idea of p-exing mine for a yellow one when they are released later this year. Gonna have to knock that idea in to touch!.

You could always say you have developed colour blindness (have to own up to having a Signal Yellow mkI Escort for a while)

! Wont go into the rest of my motoring disasters here, but i've had a few! Or have an offical age as well as a real one! Reckon that makes me about 23!
