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

welcome to briskoda... I'm in the lakes, so not far from you

welcome along

Hello and welcome. I'm presuming your meaning the Scottish/English borders. I'm not far from you either.

welcome to briskoda, I'm only about 50 miles from the english border. Where about in the borders you from.

Welcome

Welcome. Am just along the border north o Gretna an heding ower ur way to Selkirk on Sunday for a run.

Im from Annan mate

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!

Hello and Welcome to Briskoda

Hiya. We actually have other members from Berwick upon Tweed.

really?

thats quite surprising, but also not, if you know what i mean lol. there arnt alot of skoda drivers in berwick i dont think, but its nice to know im not the only one!

Yes really. I'm afraid I can't remember the guy's name just now.

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

Aye, ye're ra maun awericht!

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

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!

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!!

lol. my felicias going into greenwoods today to get a new backbox and pipe. It's costing me £80 to fix. I have to luck whatsoever with cars.

Something not right there; I've got edit facilites in this very thread, not just the forum.

Welcome aboard

£80 not bad , at least it will be sorted and you'll be able to enjoy driving it again!
