Hi, I've just discovered this site.

Am I the only person in the world, (do you think) to have had three Fabia VRS cars from new?

I got my first in March 04.

I traded that in for a new 07 plate on 8th March, and two weeks later it got wiped out in an accident.

I'm now waiting for my insurance company to replace it with a new VRS Special Edition.

hi. and welcome to briskoda. :eek: 3. bit of bad luck there m8.

That's true - I was gutted as it was driven away on the flat-bed of a tow truck, and devastated when told it was beyond economic repair :eek: . But, at least no-one was injured, and I will be getting a SE (which I didn't know about when I ordered the 07 plate back end of last year).

Welcome to Briskoda.

Now look after the special edition one.

I certainly will, Mr Luton. My poor 07 plate was rammed by a van while stationary in traffic, so there wasn't a lot I could do about it. Even though I haven't picked up the new SE yet, I'm getting paranoid about how I'd replace it if it got nicked/etc.

And, as the insurance company is sourcing it, I've got no idea what my SE number will be - but I'm looking forward to posting it on VRStu's Fabia Limited Edition Register (Members/Fabia) thread .

Cheers.

Three Fabia's and you've only just found us!!

Welcome.

Three Fabia's and you've only just found us!!

That's what I was thinking, welcome anyway

Cheers. It's a good site with lots of useful info, by the looks of it. as soon as I get my new wheels I'll be visiting it more often - I was introduced to it by one of your members fabmark - I've known him in 'civvie' life through work & he bought a Fabia VRS after I'd been recomending them to all and sundry - so I guess what goes around, comes around!!!!

I was mentioned in this forum before I even knew of its existence (see Skoda Support Categories/Fabia/fabmark's post in Gray909's thread "Fabia gone to heaven")

PS.

My 04 Fabia overtook a few 'interesting' cars in the three years I had it, inc:

Honda Civic Type R [on twisty bit of Via Gellia]

Lotus Elise [flew past him at top speed on Taddington Bypass, Derbys]

Maserati Spyder [again on Taddington Bypass - I think he was touring!]

Lamborghini Diablo [came up behind him in Torridon, Scotland, on a single track road. He finally let me past just before Kinlochewe after a couple of miles and a few toots of the horn]

See you later......

So, can we clarify. You've had a Furbie written off, and not rolled it?

As for the Diablo, be fair, he may not have known you were there until you told him!

Welcome, told you it was interesting!

Hopefully the SE will manage a bit more than 600 miles before you need another!

i've had two but my se is on the way and that makes three there is a story behind it but i can't type that quickly

C'mon, oilburninut, you can't leave it like that - give us the story but just type slowwwwly.
