@Stonekeeper We read about the cameras in UK but ''we are still behind" in this matter. The Traffic Police isn't so strict as in USA, if you do something wrong but it's not serious (no damages, no danger to other drivers etc) and you have a good excuse they let you go without a fine. Also they are not so thoroughly in traffic stops about inspections i.e tinted windows or Led lights (if you are not exaggerate), they know but in purpose they don't say you nothing. Till 2021 there was a 50% discount in the fine i.e parking ticket if was paid within the first 10 days, now the fine is less but not discount.

@Stonekeeper Same in GR but especially in country the Traffic Police isn't so ''by the book'', it's a bit ''elastic" as we say here.

@JiJiJi For 26 years old you have it in almost excellent condition.

I bought and i will install in the next weeks a new expansion tank, the one that i have still has some residues from an older engine surprise that i faced.

The comment was Generaly (about EL) speaking.

You don't work plus you are not doing my job, a delay can cause problems. Humanity is about Humans (only), i grew-up in country with cats-dogs-goats-birds etc and i know much better than others. All i said to people is that there will be a solution and i can not wait for hours for the cat to decide when it's time to leave, the cat was not among the wheels so i raised the hood and that's it. I didn't start the engine, that could drive the cat to jump left-right and hurt or die, i am not heartless and i didn't want damages plus blood in my engine.

Even if you are crossing foe seconds the EL (some times even the white dividing lane) for example to make an overtake to a annoying slow vehicle you can get a fine, in the second case it's often unfair but that's the Law. If the Cop sees you and stops you he can ignore your excuse.

Here is 200 euro fine, 9 points on the System, the Policeman removes at once your license plates and your driving licence. You can take them both back after 60 days. In case of recurrence, within 6 months of the first offense, the driver's license is withdrawn for twice the period (120 days) and the offender is required to undergo the examination for its reissuance.

I think means this: https://www.ultimatespecs.com/car-specs/Skoda/1751/Skoda-Fabia-I-14-8v-60.html Fabia 1.4 8v Specs 2000 60 hp / 44 kW 1397 cm3

From the tyres squeal i can understand in curbs when the tyre reach it's limits. Matador: OE, out of the question Michelin: Soft, lot of squeal from the beginning of the curb, very annoying especially and in long Mountain Routes Bridgestone: Tough, they squeal only when they reached their limit, if i was insist pushing things then the understeer (and intense one) was coming in the next seconds Toyo: Medium, a little squeal but when this get's stronger i have to slow down.

Another Engine Bay Surprise, Cats. 1) I was passing buy my parked car when i saw a note on the wind-shield that there is a cat beneath my car, i stopped looked down but saw nothing, then i heard the meowing coming from the engine bay. Due to cold conditions of hidden from dogs a cat was inside, i pull the lever, press the button and raised the hood while in purpose i was on the side and of course the cat popped-up like a rocket, made a quick inspection no cables scratched or any other damage. 2) Some years later i was going to take my car for work when i saw some people gathered in front of my car, i said ''Oh no, accident" but when i get close they told me that there was a cat trapped and do not move it, i explain them that i can not stand all day and i had to go to work, they insisted that i must stay there till the cat goes away, i said to them ''Forget it, i have to go", they start shouting but my final answer was ''NO". I looked beneath and there was no cat so it must be inside the engine day, i said to them that i will raise the hood so they can reach the cat by their own responsibility, so it happened, was a kitten and fortunately no damages. Maybe the Kittens like the smell of my 10W-40 Synthetic oil, i can not explain it otherwise. 😄

As i said we have a similar road there and no one likes it. On the other we prefer here Mountain Routes like this: https://omaefeatures.wordpress.com/2019/04/19/ανάβαση-πάρνηθας-δέκα-χιλιομέτρων/ (British cars and drivers participated) https://omaefeatures.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/1932.1.jpg https://www.4troxoi.gr/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/parnitha58-1024x576.jpg Even Classic cars run there I have made this many times (not slow) with motorcycle and with my Felicia. PS: Which call a city as ''The Athens of the North'' ?

As for the record: 4T began this many years ego before Serres Academy, Safety driving (rain, emergency brake etc) only and not Racing. So the same with Favorit, Fabia 1.4 ?

What? Only? 😵 The weight distribution in Felicia is 62% front and 38% rear, the U turns is a ''piece of cake'' for that car (especially if it's modified) due to slight oversteer. What's your air pressure front-rear?

We don't like roads like these here, first time i saw was back in 1991. No white lines, due to the high dry grass there was no visibility in the corners and the locals had invented a trick: Before the corner pushed the horn, no answer=nobody is coming so proceed Beep as answer=another car is coming, slow down so we barely both can fit in the turn. Of course any foreigners or non local Greeks didn't knew that and many times there were small accidents. Personally i see no fun driving in road like this, my mind wouldn't be in the engine noise-sound of tyres in turns-behaviour of suspension-tachometer.

I am at work, i saw only few seconds from the video. We have a same road here, no white lines, very risky to drive.

Since the stance of the body does not help at that time (where a little panic occurs), a small inclination of the head and the elbows one click towards the ribs drag along the hands and the steering wheel can make that click toward the inside of the turn. It goes without saying that the driver releases calmly his foot from the gas pedal. An old trick is to don't look straight at that time but to the inside of the turn, this helps the body to move easier. I wonder if the @Thefeliciahacker car has that problem in that turn what's going to happen in S turns when the weight transers from one side to the other and quickly?

I don't blame you, as you can see your driving style and your stock car are not for curbs and you saw this practically. This incident was a lesson, next time be more cautious in those U turns, imagine if another car was coming and you were understeer a lot beyond the white line what could happen ! Same for me: I don't have ABS (thus the sport style steering wheel) so in wet i am double cautious because i know that in emergency brake i would have a problem.

Photos are from internet search, not from my camera. I have take some photos for fuel consumption only, i have some video while driving but was many years ego and low resolution. The road is great but one way, we don't have such a road here so we always must pay attention where the other car is, when we are in country roads with high dry grass (example) we are double-cautious, those you aren't (young recless drivers or foreigners which don't pay attention to the field) often involved in accidents. I wish i had abjustable suspension, now i am on the 1st scale and the shock absorbers must removed to adjust them in 2nd when the time comes. In motorcycles was ''piece of cake''.

You put higher tyre profile (Skoda never suggest that) probably with higher psi for "comfort". You have normal suspension, not strut brace and no antirolling bar. Your car and your skills are not for turns but for Highways only. Don't drive in roads like this and don't take passengers with you. Before you born in 1995 the 4T magazine made a road test in Felicia, you know where? In my place, in our Mountain Roads and explained the car's behaviour in turns, the article had some photos with comments about inclination-understeer etc. I bought that edition and i read-ask about Felicia before i buy it.

Greek country roads, an example: Imagine this in a turn. Now a bigger photo, see where the car goes to. I never said "fast as i can", i am not a Kamikaze, in all of my photos my car in inside the lane. I see no bad thing to choose a Mountain Route with turn for a ride, personally i would hate to drive in long Highways as have in USA.

From village to village the roads have 3 major problems: the potholes, the tall dry grasses in the turns and the pine needles which make the line narrower and slippery. The responsible for is situation the Region, they don't give money for maintenance and soon these roads from ''Fun to drive'' are converted to ''Nightmare to drive". You can not drive Sport style, you can not make an overtake and no matter if the environment is good (fresh air, trees etc) and the road has many turns the danger is always lurks. Only SUV and 4x4 vehicles can pass, all the others have problem especially those with modified suspension, once upon a time these roads were a pleasure and now the government abandoned them.
