No, I didn't hit anything. The crash picture is of a different car. Just my little joke

I think some PH users need to download Microsoft Humour 5.0

Mine is Silver, has better looks than the Felicia it replaced.

Bugger - is there a new release. I am still on version 3.51 and I keep having a major problem - I just stop laughing every so often. Maybe the upgrade will sort that out then. Is it free and can I download it off the web?

Cheers,

Paul

You can download and install it, but you can't actually laugh until you phone up Microsoft and they whisper the pass phrase in your ear to "activate" it...

I already have but my CPU has proved to be too slow yet, it doesn't seem capable to handle this new version...Or can anyone help me getting rid of French-source drivers please, these don't seem to work well altogether. Worst of all I have had a virus called "special humour" which I can't get rid of.
I have installed "British Humour 6.2" several times but it always crashes (or is it the CPU that crashes it?). Any advice welcome.

Ted's grasp of the phrase "elegantly proportioned" leaves something to be desired. I think he should test drive the Fiat Panda next.

perhaps next week we'll be reading a report in these pages written by the actual thieves involved. I would suggest you omit the names of the 'reviewers' and blank the number plate of the motor being 'reviewed'

Cracking idea. I've got some friends who knick cars for fun - they cant write, but I'm sure they'd take you out for a spin so you can do the writing. I dont think they can read either, so you could probably quote them directly.

Let me know.

Only 105mph? You must have been just carressing the throttle. I have the 1.9TDI fabia, with all the speed & handling of the petrol but an average of over 50mpg. It'll cruise along at 100, but max out at close to 120. Its cool to find a test-drive like this one, and I can verify everything said. The car rocks in every department.

I own the 1.9 TDI fabia, which is pretty good as it has all the benefits of petrol style acceleration and handling, with the added benefits of massive torque and an excellent mpg of over 50. I see a few fabias around my area, but no-one has got a 1.9 TDI. I can't understand this as it absolutely flies. Over 20000 miles done and the worst thing thats happened is a blown speaker from playing the new CD player too loud - fair cop I say. I wonder when Skoda will stick a 130bhp diesel engine in the fabia? - Or maybe an engine like the Octavia RS? Then it will literally fly. Honest, Its a skoda!

According to the crash you're not really able to steer the midsize compact. It's easy to race a 4wd RUF. But a Skoda . . . you must be a real pro.
Behave like one.
