Hi guy's

when on my travels today on my bike,

I found a house that had a felicia a fabia and a favourit outside - all looked in running condition, near a town called Seasalter, in Kent.

Anyone on here.

bluish felly

jade green furby

red favourit

Anyone with all those must know of briskoda surely?

Thats really unusual. They have all 3 front wheel drive small hatch Skodas in sequence. They might be members of the Skodas Owner's club though.

or just cheapskates

or just cheapskates

Maybe, but doing cheap with style and confidence ...unlike Daewoo Nexia owners lol.

don't know about style but definately confident :P

You tend to find in rural areas that 'most' car owners buy from the local/nearest dealer, whatever marque it is, for ease of servicing etc.

Is/was there a Skoda dealer locally?

Then again I may be talking carp, and they might just like Skodas.

sounds fishy to me!

Certainly on the Skoda owners club forum most members "just like Skodas" not because they are a new car and want the latest electric crap and to look cool in a new car but because they generally respect the marque. Thier parents might have worked for the old skoda in the 70s/80s or their mum/dad/relative might have owned one which brought them to buying a Skoda today. This probably exists with all manufacturers but its special in Skoda's case as they are not the popularist's choice.

I have always been 'Brand Loyal' up to a point.

I had Citroens for over 20 years,then dabbled with Peugeots, until I bought a new Polo in 1999.

I wanted a Polo GT but it was too expensive so the Fabia vRS came along 2 years ago.

3 Fabia vRS's and an Octavia later, and I cant see better bang for buck out there.

actually no its in the middle of knowhere really,

nearest skoda dealer a good 15miles away from there in canterbury.

yeah probably, either that or a family of nutters, lol.

I've driven quite a few cars, my first car is a felly.

And although i really want a convertible for my 2nd car like an mx-5 or mgf or mr2 or s2000. I simply can't afford it atm.

But i have test driven many different cars and to be honist:

if my next car isnt a convertible then its gonna be an octy vrs!

Get some of those cutters the fire people use and make a convertible felly. Might not be insurable though, lol. There is actually the odd one or two Rapid convertibles out there. There's a thread with good pics somewhere over in Other Skoda forum

now that would be interesting,

a convertible felly.

I actually would do that however mine is a Laurin and Klement and to butcher it would be mad! :eek:

Maybe if i buy that one thats always on Ebay or another cheap one.

Cut the roof off and some how fit a soft top roof to it,

But not like those crappy ones that just folds over the top, where the roof used to be

I want one that folds back along the roof and down the window into the boot sort of thing, one with a plastic window, just like a mgf or mx-5.

yeah it could be a project then i could fabricate some new engine mounts and get a octy 1.8T in there!

What do you think everyone?

PLEASE don't make it look as ugly as a Pug CC

There is a convertable Felicia, and Favorit.

Made by a company called MTX....

Graham you are dead right. My local dealer was Skoda, alas there are hundreds of everything up to the Octy 2 on my local roads. The next nearest dealers are in Peterborough 20 miles away.

However, recently they changed to Daihatsu, and now there are hundreds of horrible little Sirions about :thumbdwn: On the plus side, they always have a great selection of used, low mileage Skodas for sale!! Luckily they have remained Skoda indepentant for servicing and the like too

Oh, and the MTX Favorit looks hilarious!! I've seen ONE in the flesh, several years ago now...

ive stayed loyal to the brand for a good few years now , have had estelles rapids, favorits, felicias, a fun and a fabia. 28 in total. only got 1 estelle, 1 favorit (pushaboutable storage shed), a fun and a fabia at the moment though

yes yes :D

thats exactly what i was looking for!

the MTX Cabrio
