    been thinking about selling my kiwi ibiza for a while now - in my thirties, got 2 kids so thinking I need a sensible car. Trouble is, it'd break my heart to let her go after 12 years of ownership, so this morning on the drive into work I started to mull over ideas of how I could keep her. What...

  15. Trackday & Runabout for Wife

    Newbie here! ;) I'm considering buying either a Ibizia or Leon Cupra R. I want to tweak it as a track day car, but it also needs to be useable by the wife as a shopping car. Main question is can the Ibizia Cupra deliver the same power as the Leon Cupra R with some tweaks but no internal work?
