AnnoyingPentium

That's what I like. However I'm going back towards DOS, 95/98, and at the most modern XP for most of my ramblings. I've currently got a nice Compaq Evo N610 laptop sitting in front of me... roasting my legs.

I'd been pondering making something like this for a wee while to collate all my technological nonsense into one area for once. I'll probably make a few posts now and again with me messing about with computers that are definitely obsolete in the eyes of consumer culture. Stay tuned... or don't, whatever takes yer fancy.

This came up on AutoTrader. I'm quite fond of Almeras, and this one is just the best I've ever seen. My Mum isn't convinced... yet. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202211011264663

I'd do that, but the driver's one is rather comfy and I'm a bit selfish. Plus, the passenger seat doesn't see quite as much use. I'll look into getting the foam repaired. Will have to see what options over here. Thanks.

Cheers DM. They're class, a lot better than the bar stools I had. I may need to be wary with the passenger seat as you can feel the metal bar in it (by hand at least) at the side and don't want it to wear any worse, or through the cloth even. Obviously the foam base is made of rocking horse **** these days, so what alternatives do I have? Cheers Lee! The other Ryan fitted them, I just spent the time talking to his Dad about his two Fabias. Didn't seem like bother, so hoping that was the case.

The lad, Ryan, that I got the seats from has a Bohemia that's been kitted out above and beyond an Elegance. He's on the owners club on Facebook as well.

Aye, think it was the later ones when they all became 1.2s. The Bohemia has the same sort of tinted glass from the B-Pillar back, I think. If I could be arsed having that done in the future I would, since it doesn't really affect my insurance, or didn't when I tried quotes.

Cheers Matt. It didn't really occur to me until yesterday that I've been subconsciously building a Fabia Sport rep, just with better spec than the actual Sport. There's stuff I'd like to add, but getting it seems to be the biggest issue.

Gave these away in a swap today.

So today was rather good. Drove down to Kirkcudbright to drop off some steel wheels and swap my seats for some Bohemia ones. Met a fellow Fabia enthusiast in the process. Fabia earned its keep as my wee load lugger plus the trailer, drove sweet as a nut. Here's some photos of the seats, I'll grab better pictures in the morning, or whenever I remember. All in all, a good trip besides the trailer having causing a bit of a wobble on the way home. It stopped after I pulled in for a bit, not sure what caused that. Will investigate in time. I even managed 40mpg or so as well, so I'll call that an added bonus. I still haven't got around to fitting the new window motor as I haven't been bothered at the moment, I'll get around to it... eventually. Quite pleased with the way things have gone recently, just the electric windows to get sorted and this wee car will be on top form, or something to that degree.

Quite like those lights, actually. They do seem quite fitting, as you say.

Gave you a follow. Love how this is coming together.

Procured a glovebox from a Fabia at a breakers yard in Ayr, got some more bits to go back for at some point. It's filthy as the car had been lying sans windows for a good couple of years at least. The good thing is that it's free from scratches thankfully, it's helping go towards fixing the damaged trim panels in the car. I'll post better photos once I've given it a run in the bath as it's quite poor inside and out... and a spider crawled up my arm when I opened it. Moving on, I've got no electric windows anymore, they've died. However, @Breezy_Pete being the absolute gem he is, has sent up a replacement motor module for the window. I need to wait for a dry day before fitting that, though. I've tried bringing the switch unit in and drying it out with a radiator but no such luck so far.

Agreed with this. Worry about the more pressing matters, if any (I haven't read the rest of this thread, just the past few posts).

Have you considered letting the person in the boot out?

Following with great interest. Love the car and the humour.

Ah I've maybe worded that rather strangely... allow me to edit.

One megapixel is plenty. Still getting to grips with my newest acquisition, a 1998 Kodak DC210 Zoom camera. It's quite nice to use. My test subject was this, the duck in my Gran's conservatory that the dog is scared of.

Neither does the driver! Admittedly mine wasn't Rufford Ford, it was Barskimming Road outside Mauchline and there was a burst pipe, was about 8pm at night and dark. Didn't see the water until I was well and truly in it. The Fabia made it out... I'm not entirely sure how to be honest.

Nice aggressive look going on there. I like it.

Try here to make a QR code. Beyond this, I can't assist with finding someone who can make such a thing into some sort of sticker/decorative thing.

Sounds good to me.

That's what you call international service!

Thank you! Need to pick up some stuff that I've procured for the car... so more to follow...

Oh definitely, if they weren't as expensive I'd have one!
