Nice to be here amongst helpful Skoda lovers 

 

I was virtually given an '06 Fabia Classic 1.2 by an overseas-moving relative last September and it's a wonderful wee car !    :love:   Totally bonkers - with it's manual windows and manual door locking - but absolutely brilliant with A/C, chiller glove compartment and full trip computer !  :clap:

 

We use it for my son learning to drive, so I was desole to return home to Edinburgh one day in the middle of February to find the house broken into and the Skoda gone  :'( .  Amazingly, it turned up 8 days later just down the road, undamaged save for the front passenger's window being smashed. Police were on it and I was amused to be asked "Is there anything in the car that was not there when you last saw it?"   Err ... "Yes, that stone in the front passenger foot well !" 

 

Anyway, car was removed for forensics, which took 5 weeks   before we had it returned. Changed the locks and replaced the window and son is a happy driving bunny again ! 

 

I'll probably be here when I need advice, as cycling my recumbent bike  is my main activity, so thank you all in advance !

Welcome to the site,Scoosh.I tried one of those recumbant bikes once,quite an unusual experience,there's a Briskoda cyclists thread on here somewhere if you scroll down the board.

Thanks @faradaycage - I'll go and have a look ... and, yes, 'bent riding is certainly different !

Must admit I've never actually ridden one, and I find the riding position on my Hybrid better than the road bike, so it might actually suit me, but they don't look at all manoueverable.
