barrett Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabergé Greggs Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 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.

GeordieInExile Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 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 Posted September 16, 2018 Author Share Posted September 16, 2018 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. michael t, Dave_Q, Yoss and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoftyvRS Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 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! Fabergé Greggs, egg and Laseraligningfoofooflanges 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My current strategy for avoiding corrosion is to get the itch and swap it for some sort of auto waft machine. egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabergé Greggs Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 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!

Fabergé Greggs Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 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.
