Well having been made redundant last week, as mentioned in this thread, the one weeks insurance that they said I could have on my company car has now run out, and Ive had the call from the lease company saying they are coming to collect it on Friday morning :(

So its Bye Bye to.....

.....and Hello to.......

Its an N reg 1996 Felicia 1.3 LXi Plus. Purchased from another Briskodian (thanks Colkai) who has had it from new, and obviously taken great care of it. Full service history and receipts for everything including the original Bill of Sale.

Over 140,000 miles on the clock, but hopefully good for a few more yet - at least until I manage to find myself another job.

The colour is Romantic Red and although there is a bit of fading (bonnet and roof starting to look pink), the first plan is for a good cleaning session, which should bring back some of its shine!

I have to say I miss the extra 112HP that the Octy had, but driving is certainly a little more relaxed!

You never know. Make it nice and shiny and they might take the "Wrong" car...

Sorry to hear about your situation Andy. Fingers crossed it gets resolved quickly

I should come up with the PC, see if we can bring the shine back on the old girl. If we can find a dry weekend that is, this side of 2007!

Steve

It will come up nicely.

I have full faith in Andy.

Good sound car mate.So what are you going to call her?

First thing to do is to give her a name.

Take care and give me a shout if you need owt

Sarah

All the best mate - at least it's red. See you soon.

Glad you got a little run around and kept it in the family.

Take it you maybe driving it to shiftys on monday?

Good look on the job side.

I'll give you a wave if i spot you (i think it was you i waved at last weekend near hazelhurst?)

Yes - but we've done a "Was it You" already!

Sounds like a good challenge for the PC! I've given a corner of the bonnet a go with the T-cut tonight, and I think it should come up OK

Will have to have a think on that one. I can feel a poll coming on!

Should be OK for Monday if I set off now :eek:

It's nice to think she's gone somewhere she is needed, hope she serves you well Andy, really do mate. I'd be amazed if she didn't make to 200K and beyond.

She's been a treasure to us since we bought her and it's fair to say, there were emotions over seeing you drive her off, (to be expected after being "in the family" for 10 years). She was always "Felly" to us (yeah, I know, not mind-bendingly original :P) but no doubt you can come up with something better.

About to take our first major trip in the Fabia this weekend, good call on the (now sorted) rollbar Sarah .. now to get the aircon checked and regassed!

Hi Mate

Oh don't worry, I will

i really like felicia's, are you gonna tune her up??

Few more pictures...looked pretty nimble on the country roads too...

Rob.

That'll come up a treat with T-Cut. We let our Corsa get faded like that (for some reason it didn't get driven as much as the Scooby :rubchin: ) and a 30-minute going over prior to selling made it look showroom red again

I used some Autoglym paint renovator on my MR2 engine lid and it came up a treat Just bought some farecla g8, as I could not believe the results from it on my spoiler (had some oxidisation) and after a quick wipe over BANG the oxidisation was gone !!! Well worth the cash imho
