After spending a couple of weeks under bidding on Leons on ebay that i had no intention of buying, one suddenly popped up and i had to have it. Got the money together, travelled 250 miles by train and picked it up and drove back!

Onvi LCT, lowered, 19" RS6's, 007p, K&N Typhoon, Miltek, Remapped.

Since then (2 months ago) had it fully serviced, resprayed and a new reg plate for it and done over 1K miles just for the love of driving it. I love it and glad i bought one!

Yeah I bought the first one I saw. I went home and thought about it first, then went back and got it :D

My previous car was a 3.2 Jaguar XJ running on autogas. Bet you can't guess my age!:p

Yep 1st one. 59k 05 reg. They offered good part x on the wifes 307 which was not in the best of nick, but was an 04 with 1 owner and full peug SH. Got 3k for it! Was worth less as bodywork was shyte lol. So didnt really want to chance it elsewhere.

LCRs paintwork wasnt as good as id have liked but it had full SEAT history from the same garage (chkd and verified with them too, it had no major work on it, and they changed cambelt and all pads, and did a full 60k service which was a weight off my head! So i couldnt argue with that!

Second one i went to see.

I test drove the bog standard tdi and it just felt completely wrong for the car. Saw a 110 tdi advertised in glasgow, drove it and after about five minutes driving it knew it was the one :)

my old man was in the trade for years and drummed it into me, if it doesnt feel right then walk away. Always lived by that and i've enjoyed all my cars. None quite so much as my Leon tho.

Been looking for a Black Cupra R for about 4 months, then found one 15 miles away and my Alfa 156 broken down on route, Garage gave me £700 for it which was nice, I took her for a test drive and she's now sitting on my drive way :)

As i was at university and looking on the internet, had no car at the time, i relied on my brother and dad a bit! brother looked at one, got a bad feeling, walked away! Dad looked at the second one and it seemed good, full service etc. Had gearbox, clutch and fuel pump replaced so far in 6 months...Brilliant.
