Matthew , I agree , but in many cases they are not actually female :shocked: .....................and I think this is another..................but I'm happy to be proved wrong

We welcome all newbies - especially those on their *third* skoda!

:bigcrowd:

Hi and welcome!:wave:

good choice of car; estate as well built as they come (unfortunately you had reason to prove it) and carries loads.

I think I'm correct in saying that you're the only Briskodian who has owned both 4x4 and a RS estate; may proved insightful.

Oh.....and don't mind Denis; no one else does.

Cheers.

Adrian.

Hi and welcome to Briskoda from another Magic Black vRS Estate owner .

Darren, are you, perchance, an undertaker?

Not an undertaker but work at a Hospital, hence seeing many private ambulances with the blacked out windows (many silver and black estate cars) so not sure if I should tint mine or not :confused: .

JaneC has been spotted twice (not difficult given how slow she drives!), although one was contrived (we both sometimes drive the same route into Colchester in the mornings)

daveclar - how to you cross to Belfast from North Wales? Taking car? Via Holyhead, Liverpool or Scotland?

What model of Fabia? 1.4, 16V , TDIi etc?

Valerie,

It's been a while but going via Holyhead brings you to Dun Laioghaire (excuse my spelling, pronounced Dun Leery) which leaves about a 100 mile journey up to Belfast.

Going via Liverpool should take you right into Belfast as would via Stranraer. Crossing via Stranraer is about 1:50; Liverpool overnight; Holyhead about 5-6 hours.

Hope this helps - if anyone has more up to date info then feel free to correct me.

Holyhead - Dun Laoghaire is fast ferry and takes just under two hours.

Holyhead - Dublin fast ferry is two hours, conventional ferry about 3.5 hours

Liverpool - Belfast is overnight, and some day sailings (7-8 hours)

Stranraer - Belfast 1:50 is fast ferry; conventional about 3:30

Also Cairnryan-Larne, Troon-Larne, Troon-Belfast all fairly quick crossings

Liverpool - Dublin and Fleetwood-Larne overnight

Liverpool - Dublin fast ferry about four hours

Think that's the lot apart from the South Wales ones.

Zooty (done most of 'em!)

Try doing Swansea to Cork ferry - flippin nightmare crossing. Ferry was slow, weather was rubbish, and it took 16 hours! Worth it for the taste of proper Guinness though :dtp:

Oh yeah, Mostyn - Dublin for those of you in North Wales. Long/overnight crossing and will cease running later in the year.

God this is just too easy.

Valerie.Holyhead to Dun Laoghaire probably the best option. Don't now about prices though. Don't forget some
