Probably something a struggle with only 68 bhp, I'd have thought.  The last car I owned with such little power was a 1985 FIAT Uno 70S.  Although it was somewhat lighter at c. 840 Kg and would haul itself up to just over 100 mph eventually. 

 

Nah, it does 80mph no bother at all. Reckon it would do 100mph flat out, with a following wind

Maybe I had a following wind then but my little furbi  achieved 110 on a private stretch of course as I would never dream of doing that on a motorway ahemmmmmm.

Might do more now with the new wind deflectors lol 😆

So finally, we're at the "sticking unnecessary crap all over the car" phase, you must have run out of stuff to break and subsequently fix...

My apologies I will keep striving to achieve and reach the rarefied heights of perfection as you have achieved. Sir I dop my hat to you.

Au contraire, I don't even wash mine let alone beautify it, I just drive it.

@Stewartasb - I wouldn't worry about killing time till something goes wrong... it's only a matter of time before something goes anyway on a Mk1 Fabia.

 

Fingers crossed mine has got me to Perth today... just getting back, new noises too...

ouch what fantastic new sounds do you have I took mine for a spin this morning and could not hear any increased noise from the deflectors although I do seem to have now developed a slight exhaust clunk when going over drain covers etc 😐

white Knight

 

Yes, they did both an electric and a gas heated version which was cheaper to run and quicker at drying yer pants...

Mate I was referencing "Drive"

Now with my new sparkly wind deflectors on I could open my windows a bit and dry my pants whilst driving who says it's just bling 😎

Each one adds 5 bhp, mind.
