Shiny Shiny new toy!
Picked up a wee beasty last night...
I suspect the fuel bill is going to KILL me!
Seat Leon Cupra R
1.8 20Vt 260hp.... 4 pot brembo brakes and all the electric toys you can shake a geeky stick at!
Drove it back from Reigate area last night.... didnt stop smiling all the way... It is going to eat my license for breakfast if I am not careful!
All I need to do now is sell the polo GTI and pay the money back!!!

Blimey 260bhp? I take it its got an uprated turbo, a giant intercooler and a fancy exhaust!!!  Nice colour too. I used to get 35mpg+ out my
chipped Octy vRs when on a run

It had a silly big turbo and 225hp as standard

Ah so started out wif fast Audi TT spec. Big turbo and twin intercoolers instead of single. Very nice They make a good Q car as relatively
restrained styling but very fast although traction without an lsd must be tricky or do they come with lsd's too? I used to have a Fiat Coupe
20vt with around 250bhp and front drive. but the lsd did a good job of taming wheelspin

Shhhh! Dont say things like that.. I am in denial!
I dont think it has an LSD as standard...
It does have some very clever traction control, and stability program.... and a switch to turn it off if you are silly enough to do so!
Yes, it does have twin intercoolers.

days?!!)
