rosiearosa Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Well Rosie joined the family after selling our Ibiza and my partner taking over my old Fabia as I needed something more cripple-friendly to drive! The Fabia was slammed on SPAX ajustable coils, set to hard fully polybushed with front and rear uprated ARB's and a front strut... the ride was less than comfortable (but oh sooo much fun living out in the sticks going down the lanes as she clings to the road like glue!) So anywho - after a letdown on a Lupo we won on ebay - turned up and it had the engine management light on and "couldnt be booked in for fixing for another 2 weeks" yea yea yea we think they knew something was up with it before selling. Then by chance flicked through autotrader the following evening to see Rosie just being advertised sent the advertiser a message at about midnight... she replied about 1am after getting in from a night out. We turned up at 10am the next day with cash and drove her home ... then moved house! Absolutely loving her so far few little tweaks here and there but nothing major as I have FMS so needs to be user friendly! Would like to get her to at least 1 show if I can manage the driving plus a day out. so as she was when I got herfirst thing to be done was the wheels which I have masked up and painted myselfI then decided it was time to get the hubby's xmas present out of its wrapping and play ... Dodo juice spin doctorthis actually then caused me to cripple myself even more, so being in a flare up the other half very kindly pulled the grille apart and painted it for me this week as hes off work couple of other bits I want to get painted up. Really trying to resist the temptation to lower her - I know it'll happen sooner rather than later though! Just gotta come up with a nice compromise! - oh have also swapped the side repeaters for some nicer ones but need to get some pics uploaded of those. Anyone around Worcester area you cant miss her driving around we live in Malvern and I drive over to Martley every day to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
