as for the armrest the one i installed is the leather one which is amazingly suitable to the interior!if you really into quick shifting all the time it may get in the way just a little bit,but if you are 65%cruising and 35%racing then the armrest is amazing:) :) QUOTE]

Thank you, I will order the armrest now :drive1:

I have the armrest and its fantastic for cruising, but when I have it down for some reason if I drive quickly I find I am short throwing 3rd gear. Doesn't happen in any other gear but I've crunched 3rd 5 times now. Maybe its just my incompetence, but that said its worth it.

Stock surplus, basically they built too many cars, so they are having a few days of no production so the books balance. And it was this week, last day today, back to work on Monday.

I'm cancelling my order.

















Not :p

I was the first person to drive the car and the dealer wanted me to take it steady. We went up and down a dual carriageway and that was it.

Didn't get to see what the car can do. Brakes are fierce - which we know, but also were new so wouldn't have bedded in.

Bit of an anti-climax due to the lack of good drive, but I've driven one at least.

Looking forward to having my own to do with it what I wish :cheeky:

My dealer called me today and said that my Cupra is here! Woohoo! It takes a week before I get it tho (paper work). I was told that my Cupra is the first one registered in Finland, if we do not count the demo/press cars.

Ah them were the days, now i'm lucky if it's twice a year - seriously, and we've got another baby on the way, so if i were you i'd get silver and be done with it.

Is that your old car is for sale on PH - snazzy pics in multi storey car park ?

I may be jumping back to the LCR after a 3 years break :whistle:

Silver already on order Leo. :)

Yes that's my car on PH. I sold it January last year. It's up for sale again. A very good example and fully loaded kit.

Back to an R? Not going for the new Cupra then?

no chance, it's a matter of simple arithmetic for me, unless Bickets sort me out with deal of the century.

i think if i go back to LCR mk1 it'll be red or platinum, but it's pie in the sky right now. Got to sort a few things out first.

mk2 Cupra is the only one i'd be after.

Look forward to seeing/hearing all the new owners plans for modding though, you never know in a year or so i might have one.

Cool. You know the R makes sense ;) You'll be happy with the space. We've been missing it with littlun who's two now - running two ibizas.

Hmmmmm..... :drool:

yeah the space is defo needed on those trips that you stay away over night, a lot of kit and not a lot of space in the boot in ibizas.

I really like it in that colour, but the camera angle makes its ass bigger than J-LO's !!!!!
