Hey guys ive had my belovide Fabia 1.4 for over two years and the other day the road was covered in oil and water and the car began to slid causing me to have to do the safest thing and crash to avoid anyone else from becoming injured. i surviuved with only a cracked knee cap, that little skoda saved my life!!! unfortunatly the car hasent been so lucky, it had a buggered bumper, bonnet and wings as well as the radiator and drive saft and chassis being damaged. Its a right off, which has had it even harder to take in when my pride and joy is on the back of a scrap yards truck. I managed to salage some bits for momenteos of what a brillient car it is.

I will be continuing to use this forum as it is one of the best ive ever used with a great community ready to help with anyissue

Cheers guys

James

Sorry to hear of your crash and subsequent loss. Onwards and upwards!

Good to hear no major injuries to you or others

It a shame to hear mate.. glad you got away with only the knee damage.

Its amazing how quick your mind caan work when you need it too isnt it.... had something like this in my classc mini..... choice was oncoming traffic or flint stone wall..... as you can guess i choose the wall but luckly the car stopped before the wall an no-one got hurt.

Sorry to read this, what do you plan to replace it with?

Well due to only being a apprentice I don't have mega bucks atm, so my gran as kindly offered to lend me £1000 so overall have £1200 to spend. Isnt much about round my local area so so im really not sure atm what im going to do.

if you look a little futher than your area you could pick up a bargain, this time of year people are selling cheep to pay for christmas.

Get on ebay, Auto Trader and even Gumtree.

looks like you will be ok
