I went to see the DD at Dover and there was a white 1.4 MPI Fabia, quite spectacular that they were running it for a few seconds before the car overheated and blew up. 

 

they didnt know that the 1.4 mpi's all ally head and could warp easily!

Keep an eye out on copart for an m3 with a s65 v8 engine in ready to drop into a Fabia ;)

Sounds like they are getting a bit over confident due to all the rave reports and way they are selling.

Fortunately my local dealer let me give one the beans down a twisty country lane.  I was sold. :D

On a back road, being smaller and more interactive it was actually more "fun" than the GT-R because the latter is too capable and big.
