Hey guys. Long time no see! I've had the busiest year of my life - but also the best. I've got myself a new job, a new girl and yesterday, I got this: *EDIT: fixed the image* 2000, 140bhp, 125lb-ft, 127mph. A slight step up from the 1.4 8v Fabia, I feel :-D You may be seeing a little more...

Well... I start my new job on Monday. A month from then: I shal be very slightly happier ;-) I was thinking about treating myself to some nice brake pads. I've got basic Halfords ones on at the moment (all I could afford), and after relitively firm braking for just a few corners they get hot...

Well, it looks like it was true! The new series of Top Gear starts on Sunday the 22nd of June, at 8pm on BBC2. The end of this video says "This sunday" without giving a date... http://www.topgear.com/content/videos/videos/147/broadband_wm.html But the radio times confirms it as the 22nd :)...

I've just spotted two articles on the Top Gear website that mention a new character for the upcoming 11th series... http://www.topgear.com/blogs/planettopgear/124-new-series-exclusive/ http://www.topgear.com/blogs/planettopgear/126-tgtv-update-186mph/ The first one says: "we came up with a...

It's a sunny day, and I decided to wash my car. Autoglym is brilliant stuff... I had to take a picture Click the photo for a full sized view So the question is: which car shampoo and polish do you use? :-) **EDIT** Seeing as someone is bound to ask: the car behind it is a Citroen C5 estate

I put new front discs and pads on my Fabia a couple of weeks back. Lockheed vented dics and Halfords (I know... I'm sorry... I couldn't afford anything else after I got the discs) pads. Having deciding I was going to give them a good 200 miles or so of light braking to bed them in (rather than...

A great deal of my driving experience comes from having fun with other drivers. Dancing vigorously enough at the traffic lights to make my car rock side to side and watching the people in the car beind me in my rear-view mirror as they try not to laugh, smiling and waving at people I don't know...

Well... I've got enough posts now. I know people aren't really going to be interested in looking at a stock Fabia. But it's mine and I love it. And it is quite tidy :)

Hi there :-) For my first car related post, I thought I might get a few suspicions and things that I've heard confirmed or denied. Running around in a 2001 1.4 8v Fabia, I'm not all that happy with the amount of power/torque it develops (68bph/88ft-lb). I've heard from a few people that the 8v...

Hi there! Ok... Best ignore the thread title. I figured there was enough threads with titles like "Hello!" and "New here" already :-) I had best introduce myself... I'm 21, from Yorkshire and I drive a 2001 Fabia 1.4 8v. That's right: not even the 16v one. It's my first car, and I'm really...
