Dacia Duster.

[Retired]

Hi,

Thanks for the thumbs up Colin; it seems on this forum Skoda owners are increasing in pace with lathe owners?

The slight lag I noticed Colin was very slight indeed but I noticed it and as you say it is soon forgotten; Bron and I are looking forward to collecting the Fabia and I'm sure I will be able to carry a lot more and bigger lumps of machinery in it than I can with the Aygo. In fairness to the Aygo it transported two heavy cast iron Myford lathe beds to Halifax and back even though I was plane spotting both ways.

The Monte Carlo shown in the link above comes with lots of kit for the price but all black put me off so I didn't bother asking about it; other Fabia's start at much lower prices but when the small print is read it becomes clear these are the Fabia's with the least powerful engine which would be ideal for those with limited funds or wanting a cheap second car. As with most things its a case of choose and pay.

Given the condition of our local roads together with lots and lots of speed humps I sometimes think an half track would be suitable?

I've been looking out for Dacia Dusters but since starting this thread I think I've only seen six at the most; I wonder if this could partly be due to people not wanting to be seen in such a cut price vehicle? My preferred choice was a Skoda Yeti but this would be rather big just for the two of us and like to garage our car; clearing a foot of snow or having to remove ice from car windows isn't my idea of fun at all.

Kind regards, Col.
