1st Leon cupra r was brought without looking else where as was brand new one (55 plate when seat where offering big discount of £3 off price) though did have to travel to Sidlows in Gatwick for it - Great drive home though

2nd Cupra r I brough (used) looked at 3 before I got one - looked at Yellow and Grey but there was just something telling me no about them so brought a black on from a Honda Dealer instead - 2 years on no problems what so ever

Yep, bought the first Cupra I looked at.

Irfan was pretty shocked to arrive at work early on a Sunday morning to be greeted by a large geezer with a skinhead sitting outside his office :cartman:
He was very happy to be able to sell a car that hadn't even been detailed yet though so it was all good.

Yup! was looking at the usual hatchbacks for a 19 yr old, corsa's, ibiza's, C2's etc but fell in love the moment i spotted my red mk1 tdi 110. Before that i'm ashamed to say was a clio 1.2 8v grande...

I bought mine from there :)
Travelled all the way from Reading to test drive a Black LCR and they sold it 20mins before i got there, nevermind I ended up with a better one anyway in Grey :D and yes it was the first/only one I test drove

I bought the first Cupra i went to see. Previous car was an Impreza WRX. Found it very funny when the seller said something like:

'yeah, sometimes on a fresh morning, if you give it some beans in second it sounds just like an impreza'.
Shocked, 'really?' i said.
He replied, 'yeah... so what do you drive at the moment then?'.
Me 'an Impreza'
Him 'Oh.... well its quite warm today'

Never heard a car sound less like an Impreza to be fair.

To be brutally honest I didn't even see mine until after i bought it. I bought it from Arnold Clark but it came from a dealership down south. I had already made up my mind I wanted a black one but didn't really think it through as my car is registered litterally weeks before the facelift model came out. Can't complain really as its the best and most reliable car I have ever owned I don't ever plan on selling it.

Bought the first one, had a little 1.2 8v corsa before, quite the step up in luxury and power.

Third for me, which is unusual!

First one was a mess, every bit of the interior scratched to pieces.

Second one was ok, but there was a couple of niggly things and the bloke was annoying as hell which made my mind up when he kept calling for a decision.

Third one was the one. Full Seat History, Leather, and the bloke was in charge of maintenance at the Thames Barrier. He was all about maintenance schedules. He gave me spare wheels, spare oil, spare touch up paint, boot liner, mud flaps and headlight guards!
