Enjoyed my first trip to the Ring last weekend, after a marathon trip through France, Switzerland/Italy (Stelvio & other passes ) and Germany with a group of 15 scoobys/evos (and a Peugeot 307 hire car - don't ask!!). Co-drove a WRX wagon as there were some chuckles at me keeping up in the Fabia over 2.5k miles... But if a Peugeot could, I'm sure a Fab would have too (The Peugeot did wear the brakes out after 2 days on mountain passes tho!)

After saying Hi to a fellow Fabia driver at the Ring, you asked if I'd post any pics of your motor. Here are a few snaps.

Some of the motors on our Stelvio trip:

Filling up nr the Ring, Sabine pulled in to refuel:

Spotted a red Fabia with UK 54 plates...

Then a silver with 05 plates... had a brief word with you.

after a quick check of your brakes....

you went straight round again

Me on lap 2 of only 2 that I got to drive before the fog and rain really set in and the road was closed.

Had to depend on the incar clock as stopwatch wasn't set, so laptime was between 11 and 12 mins.

But had a 9.59 passenger lap in this:

Went to the museum later in the afternoon Took loads of photos, but will post just these:
