Bye Bye SEAT

[ianrawlins]

Well after owning her for 18 Months the Leon Cupra R has now been replaced (although not sold yet - soon to appear in the for sale section).

It was purely a financial descision, hopefully one I won't regret too much. Thanks all for making this a great site. I'll still be lurking on the site I'm sure.

What you replacing it with ? hard pressed to replace the happy mix that is the LCR.

 

[ianrawlins]

Errr yeah, no comment.

 

[Cupra_power]

Ooops that is not a good sign. people carrier perhaps ?

 

[Brucel]

Do tell mate....?

Shame to let her go but sometimes you have to....

 

[ianrawlins]

I've actually bought a 02 plate toyota MR2.

A bit girlie I know, but It's great to drive and should hopefully save me some cash.

 

[paul26982]

not as bad as i expected tbh

 

[ianrawlins]

No, just getting used to the idea at the moment.

 

[Bunglebonce]

Are you a hairdresser by any chance?

 

[ianrawlins]

it is a red mid-engined sports car. doesn't that make it a ferrari. (Joking!)

and no I'm not a hairdresser.

 

[Bunglebonce]

Actually, I quite like the shape of the mark 2.

My mate had a white mark 1 which whilst it went and handled like a proper sports car, was about as stylish as morris marina.

Not sure how the mark 2's go.
What model are we up to at the mo 3, 4?

 

[Steve221]

02 reg will be the mark 3 right?

 

[ianrawlins]

yeah mk3, the drop top roadster.

Not the fastest car I've ever driven, but mid engined and less than a ton in weight, it's quite fun to drive. It didn't feel as slow as I thought it would compared to the LCR. but you do notice the drop in torque though.

Ian promise me one thing? You wont stick a ferrari body kit on it

 

[ianrawlins]

Your quite safe on that front.
