How much is BossFox paying everyone?

He's paying is with love.

As mentioned above it will be worth the drive, Bossfox looks after his cars, his 09 SE was an absolute minter, epic car.

And I travelled 4 hours to pick it up - after already spending a day travelling there and back to test drive it!! - best investment of time I have made though 

When I was buying my Fabia I did a 7 hour round trip to see one at a multi

brand car supermarket type place that was so rough when I saw it up close

that after a 3 hour drive there I looked at it for 10 seconds and turned around

and drove 4 hours home (roadworks). I did a total of about 65 hours at the wheel

before I put a deposit on one. I think it's well worth the mileage to get the right

car. So in my opinion It's well worth the drive, even if you don't buy it. it's not far really.

I can promise you it will be a tidy example.

Richard (Bossfox) can afford to be picky so he is.

I've driven from my house near Bristol to Friern Barnet and back today just to go out

for a meal with a couple of friends. I've just arrived home, did the drive in 1 hour and

54 minutes door to door. And that was in the van ;)

300 odd mile round trip

Friern Barnet in minutes from me!

*is minutes from me!!!

Yeh I know. I drove a hiab truck out of a Tottenham

building contractor for 5 years. So I'm very familiar with

North london. I'm one of Dagenhams finest so the further East you

go the better I know it.

I drove from Ebbw Vale (by Cardiff) to Lowerstoft i think its called, 5 hrs trip 1 way, stayed the night in a travel lodge for like £20, picked up a Corsa and drove home the next day, winner all round.

I went from Ireland to London for my vrs!!

Beat you - I came from the south of Spain to Rainworth Skoda for mine! Absolute beauty through and through.

Well, after a 11 hour round trip I have finally got my hands on a really low mileage Fabia VRS SE with full skoda history ect

A very happy chappy in deed :)

BUT, one issue I have is that the turbo does that owl/police siren noise ever so slightly when cold on low revs! You can also hear it spool down after turning the engine off! i do have warranty on the car so will go to the nearest dealer for them to investigate me thinks.

Can't believe I missed this thread... :D

I was on holiday at the time though.

Sorry I didn't respond and I'm glad you found a car.

Mine had a bit of laquer peel in one place and needed a couple of bushes it turns out so I'm not selling it like that hence I took it off sale.

Things like that bug me.

Thanks for the (mostly) positive comments guys.

BTW, I'm currently the keeper of no. 251. :)
