Hi everyone!

I live in Saint Petersburg , Russia.

Here is my car: 2002 Fabia. I've bought it in November 2012 and added ~20000km on the clock since that. Generally it's a nice car and perfect VAG kit. Very well for every day use, agile run, stiff suspension, not bad fuel economy. I feel lack of space when travelling and loading skies in the trim, but I understand that it's because of the compact class of the car. Here is a very strange equipment: no central locks,no power windows/mirrors,no A/C, however it has relatively agile 100hp bbz engine, rear disc brakes, ABS, ESR. It seems like the first owner bought it in order to build a rally car )) It had such look when I bought it:

Does your rear badge say

FAIBA?

Over here its FABIA

Prize for a quick eye!

Yes that's Faiba

For some reasons I got the badge letters separately from car, so I decided to stick it different way. Just for a joke
