LXI

Thanks everyone for the very kind replies - I was touched. I must admit I was feeling a bit low when I posted before, but you've all cheered me up and I'll keep popping in to Briskoda. Cheers, David:thumbup:

The day has come for me to say goodbye to both owning a Skoda & to this forum. I no longer have a skoda fabia - written off in an accident, I'm fine but car is not. I'm not leaving VW group completely as have a polo now, but don't feel right about remaining a member of this forum now my furbies gone...... This site has been great has made me laugh, think , get annoyed and be informed in equal measure......so long and thanks for all the fish:) All the best to you all, David ( LXI )

Still see my previous Skoda Felicia LXI plus near to where I work, and have been alongside it whilst sat waiting to go onto a round about. It's still in good nick - made me wonder why I part exed it! But my Fabia Comfort is better, though still have soft spot for Felicias!

Joking about pretending to be a volvo driver:O ....one of my pet hates is missuse of lights, conversely in the winter time I'm amazed at the number of people who don't use lights when they need to:eek: Perhaps they are using night vision goggles:rolleyes: Condensation is still there, funnily enough one of friends has the same problem with his Audi A3 but on the rear light cluster - he said same as Mil - no biggie!

Hmn...thought about that but with these light nights haven't been anywhere to have headlights on! Perhaps I should leave them on the way home and pretend to be a volvo driver;) Thanks for speedy reply will see how it goes:thumbup:

Hi Folks, When about to get into my Fabia for the daily commute, noticed that my passenger headlight unit had condensation about 3/4 across it. Nothing in the other unit. Is it any thing to worry about or need to get checked, or anyone have a 'cure' so to speak? Ta very much!:confused:

Married 16 years this August but actually known other half 25 years!:eek: Had good times and bad times but mostly good!

25 k on OE Firestones on Fabia 1.4 8v, just changed fronts courtesy of nice pot hole puncture! Backs still 5mm tread no other faults. Don't drive like a Granny but lots of stop-starts on my commute.

Yum Yum My Favourite! Maybe Mike should get hold of a fire extinguisher to cool himself down!:P

Went to see Goldfrapp live at Sheffield Octagon 2 weeks ago. Stunning concert and Alison is an amazing singer - even better live than on their albums. Not all their stuff is T rex based as mentioned earlier, I like it anyway! If you get chance to seem them it would be well worth it!

Airbag warning light just come on again in my Fabia Comfort, so off to dealers to get it looked at for the second time! 1st time the sensor had worked loose so not actually an airbag failure as such - I blame the crap roads (more like crators ) of Sheffield I drive on probably shaken it loose again! Think I'll buy a tank for my commute!

Retrain as what? Another job that's completely different or as a decent white van man:eek: Just to prove I'm not biased I watched two white van men today on the way to work who were stuck in the same jam as myself and they both let cars waitng at the junction to merge into the flow of the traffic, didn't jump lights or cut people up:thumbup:

I'd say slight!:P It was a company white van with one of those 'hows my driving' stickers on the back, could have rung the number I suppose, but I'd alerady got my revenge, so I left it....

My humble apologies to the white van man who I 'cut up' this morning......it really made you sick that someone had done that to you didn't it......but you see you were a bit silly really showing everyone your 'superb' driving skills this morning and for once I thought sod it an 'eye for an eye'...... I hasten to add I generally don't drive around like a t*t having been a bad smash a few years ago, but just for a change I thought I'd rebel!

Just wondering what people have as car mascots? Just to start off I have a small teddy bear kitted out in WW 2 flying jacket and goggles named "Elvington" named after the airbase my wfe bought him from for me. He sits in the rear cup holder in the centre consol...... ........As you can see I'm really pulled out at work today:) .....but tomrorow is an entirely different matter! :P

Just had a quick gander at the Bickerton Garage website to find out about front grill badges for my fabia and noticed one of their web links led me here.......which was nice! So to Bickertons! P.S. Why should my front grill badge go all flaky inside after 5 years, when peviously on my Felicia, the badge looked as good as new after 9 years?! :confused:

Only found out about Richard this morning reading one of my work colleaques 'Guardian' newspaper. Came as a bit of shock I must admit, 34 is no age to go. Like you all my thoughts are with his nearest and dearest.

Have had my mobile and same no for the past 5 years, Mitsubishi Trium got it for a holiday in Scotland when Vodafone were the only ones who covered the area I was staying in. It's a decent enough phone, sends and recieves texts, has a little game on it where a penguin shoves blocks of ice into holes I dont want it too be all singing and all dancing, and 'hoodies' don't want to nick it off me!

SWMBO's Polo has the same feature too - possibly a VAG feature across the fabia/Polo/Ibiza range?

No problems It just seems sad that since they rejigged postal deliveries to give us a better postal service it has actually got worse! :thumbdwn:

Yo Jason - it's repeated on this Sunday coming Beeb 1, 10:55pm onwards if you want to set your VCR/DVD recorder etc. Maybe cos of my hospital background the bloody bits didn't phase me, it just looks like fake blood to me!

Apologies got the wrong day! 'Rome' is actually on on Sunday 6th Nov. 10:55pm - 11:50pm. .......next week at skool I will bee learning der daze of the weak!

I think the Beeb are repeating it on Saturday night if that's any help to you....11 o'clockish :fence3d:
