regards from the borders

meemodazy · 13-05-2008, 17:53

hey there,
just joined today.
recently bought a skoda felicia t reg 1999 1.6 glxi. i bought this after i had to scrap my corsa due to "issues" (lol). some bright spark before me took the wheel arch seals off and was spraying up water into the engine.
so here i am with a felicia and im absolutely loving it!
does anyone know what i could do to tune it up? its immaculate inside and out, no rust, and only has 28k on the clock. pretty damn good deal i got i think!

regards,
darren

Im from Annan mate

meemodazy · 13-05-2008, 23:35

in from a town called Berwick-upon-Tweed. its on the north east coast and its about as far north east as you can get, tucked away in a little corner. sandwiched in between newcastle and edinburgh, roughly 60 miles from each, and if you want to go westwards, 60 miles roughly from hawick if anyone knows where that is.

berwick has a massive car family, over the last year and a half berwick has seen the ammount of 'boy-racers' grow by about 50 fold. and thats no thanks to me and my 'crew' (only joking).

so if anyone wants to come up to berwick and shame some radgies you are more than welcome!

KenONeill · 14-05-2008, 15:31

Dmac1969 · 14-05-2008, 15:44

You'll be meaning me! Lol

Welcome to the site , what colour is the Felicia , it isnt Red with alloys is it? Also , depending on where in Berwick you live , I might have to change my signature...lol

KenONeill · 14-05-2008, 15:59

Aye, ye're ra maun awericht!

meemodazy · 20-05-2008, 15:07

ah! yes it certainly is. i cant say i've seen you around though, you'll have to give me a wave.
i bought the car with 27k miles on it so i got a bit of a deal. now its a job just tryin to keep it clean, and just having blown my exhaust it needs a bit of work lol.

im up in sunny highcliffe so you might be in a bit of luck if you're over the bridge lol

Dmac1969 · 20-05-2008, 19:01

Actually I'm just the other side of the kids chute from you in Highcliffe lol!! , Ive seen your Fabia every morning when I go to work , as my garage is up that way!! So I reckon I'm about 400 yards or so further north than you lolol! Mines the blue V reg Fabia. Ive just had to put 4 tyres on the thing today like , £225 for 4 Conti Eco Contact 3s , so it looks like I'll be keeping it a while longer. Your milage is even lower than mine , I'm on 38K just now! For keeping the Felicia clean I swear by Meguires NXT shampoo and Gold Class wax , great stuff.
Probably see you around somewhere!

Dmac1969 · 20-05-2008, 19:04

I meant 'Your Felicia' , by the way , for some reason I cannot edit my posts on here - which is a shame considering how many bloody mistakes I make!!

meemodazy · 21-05-2008, 08:51
