I can’t say much about it yet as I only got it a week ago, but I absolutely love it so far. It’s quick, it’s small on the outside and huge on the inside and it’s got a turbo. What else can a 21′year old ask for in a car?

And I don’t care about the fact that I could be driving a newish c-class merc or a newish 320 bmw and pay less insurance for it. Neither of those cars come close to this little pocket rocket when it comes to pure driving excitement.

Already upgraded the wipers (to bosch aero ones), headlights to philips x-treme vision +100% and the stereo to a kenwood one (iphone charging + steering wheel controls ftw!). Stay tuned, for updates.

1. The front washer blades were squeaking.
2. The lights were too low.

Solution? Dropped by to the local halfords, got the brightest road legal headlights and a fresh set of bosch window wipers.

Both issues solved, much happier now. Next on my to-do list: fit an armrest.

That being said, I always had a passion for cars, always secretly dreamed of being a car mechanic. I (not so) recently bought myself a Skoda Fabia 1.4 Classic. I figured this is my chance at fulfilling my secret dream.

It’s a bit run down, completely stock and really needs some love and care.

Here are a few (low quality) pictures of the current condition.
