High roller in the room!!!!! We have a high roller in the room ladies and gentlemen.

 

 

Saying that, £400.80, a cream tea, followed by fish and chips, followed by a pint of craft beer. And by craft beer, I mean Murphys.

[vulgalour]

£401 and a go in my Princess.

[plasticvandan]

[vulgalour]

Rude.





but fair

I've got 10 cars and I reckon between them all they don't have as much functionality as 'a car' as this thing does. You should deffo hold on to it. As a friend of mine would say, "you've got a car for life, there"

[Fabergé Greggs]

Come on now lads, k̶e̶e̶p̶ no fighting.

 

I actually had a princess in 2006, I must get round to starting a thread about it once I’ve finished the 5 course culinary world tour that I’m taking in part exchange for this pending winning the prelude raffle.

[Felly Magic]

I'd love another Fav, but funds do not allow, a nice and simple car, that is mege practical, with a big boot too

[GeordieInExile]

When I was young I had a weird thing for Felicias. Always wanted one. The boxy looks, utilitarian image and utter lack of creature comforts appealed to my inner Puritan.

 

I've never had a Felicia, or indeed a Favorit. 

 

I have no need to get a Felicia, or indeed a Favorit.

And yet... I have immense levels of want for this. It's just so bloody honest. Look at it. 

 

I think I'd enjoy driving that more than my 9-5 Aero.

[Fabergé Greggs]

This keeps on keeping on all over place, with another ultra frugal 1000 miles under its belt. 

 

Recent highlights include going to a wedding at this highly swanky establishment. Whilst making progress up the not inconsiderable driveway, the Skoda chose to develop a rather farty exhuast blow. I can only hope that the gentry were bemused by the arrival of such a resplendent symbol of communism farting its way up the road. 

 

In other news, I hope you approve of my period upgrade, bringing the sum total of creature comforts to... some beads. 

[purplebargeken]

When are you going to bring this over so that I can have a bloody good look at it?

[Marm Toastsmith]

When are you going to bring this over so that I can have a bloody good look at it?

And when you do, can I come too?

[purplebargeken]

Am sure that would be allowed.

[Jim Bell]

Bum beads ftw. Such wood comfort.

[purplebargeken]

The taxi drivers seat covering of choice. 

[Ben_O]

Are they actually comfortable?

I've never parked my arse on one

[Rocket88]

Get back to me when you ‘be moved........ if I’ve still got it, maybe we can do something.....

They’re kind of annoying and strangely comfortable at the same time. Haven’t made my mind up yet

Handy hint on any Favorit/Felicia is to get as much waxoyl as you can on the cabin side of the rear suspension turretts, and also keep the inner rear wheel arches clean. We used to see them at 6 years old with rusty rear turrets, sometimes with the odd strut poking through. Only made worse by being a mud trap and owners not clearing them out.

 

Other than that the run out models were really good sellers in the day, i remember the main dealer i worked at still selling used low mileage minter favorits off the fourcourt as late as 2001. They never used to hang about long, especially the posh Flairline versions!

That is very good to know thanks. My current strategy for avoiding corrosion is to get the itch and swap it for some sort of auto waft machine. 

[Fabergé Greggs]

It’s all true: the back seats can fold in 5 seconds or be taken out in about 10 seconds.

 

Czech out all that space!

[egg]

Yep, they are just sort of clipped in for the safety* of rear seat passengers  . What a great space though.

[Fabergé Greggs]

3 seater sofa..

[Fabergé Greggs]

Whilst we’re on the subject of practicalities, I have some Thule roof bars but the feet are for cars with roof rails. This doesn’t have rails or gutters- any idea what kind of feet I’d need?

[tooSavvy]

^^ googlefoo.... ??

 

[SierraMikeHotel]

I thought you were being a bit optimistic, but the Vision might well fit into that!

[Fabergé Greggs]

This is outrageously practical, dependable and economical.  

 

Thing is, I've had it for a number of months now and you know how it is.. I just want something more wafty (PAS or Auto), or faster.. or less practical, or older. Priority given to BX's, Ami's Dyanes, Volvos. 

 

TRY ME!

 

Its generally minty fresh and would probably be worth a bob or two if you scrubbed it up. 

[alcyonecorporation]

Serious idea: contact KGF in Peterborough and they'll sell it for you on commission.

 

They'd get very 'KLF' over that.

It's a good idea!

A mate has just pit his Fav up for sale for £4k, he's going to struggle to sell it, even 'KLF' wouldn't be that daft
