This evening we had a nice little treat coming onto the motorway on the way home. in fact a few residential roads earlier than that. I was sitting waiting to pull out at a junction and who should pass me by but a fellow Cupra owner. Not any Cupra I hasten to add but a Cupra I mentioned in a previous post relating to his Apr decals. I got in behind him and we proceeded to drive like very civilized individuals. Of course once onto the motorway this safe and responsible driving... continued and we both pushed our cars as hard as they might go while remaining under 70 cough cough.
A caveat I must add to this whole endeavor is one which will only resonate in the mid west Scotland region. Anyone blessed to live in such a fine part of this fine country will surely be aware that on a Saturday evening between the hours of six and ten there is only one radio station worth listening to and that is clyde 1. This as you may or may not know is for the sole reason of the GBX. So just imagine you've came onto a clear motorway with a direct recreation of your motor purchasing decisions giving it the beans in front of you, whilst the west of Scotland's finest purveyor of all things EDM is hitting his stride on the airwaves and the last of the sun is giving a golden glow to an overcast day. Now tell me that isn't what driving a hot hatch is all about. And just as he was coming off at his junction the gods aligned us just long enough to give the illusory doth of the cap that was lacking in our last encounter. By this I mean we gave each other the barest of hand gestures that passes for acknowledgement among men when first name terms have not been established.
It also appeared that he has swapped out his Cupra flag on the rear end for a small red emblem. Presumably this is also an APR thing. I also must add that of course I can't be certain this was the same car I saw few weeks back but as that was the first I had seen in three years of ownership and tonight was the second I assume it was the same guy.
