After a brief but enjoyable stint owning a Leon Cupra ST 280 from last July I decided I missed my Golf R so arranged to trade it in at a Dealership down South for a 16 Plate Golf R estate
After setting out at 6am on a soggy dark Saturday morning from Glasgow this was the view at 7am after an altercation with an enormous pothole on an unlit stretch of the M74 Southbound
Completely destroyed 3 week old Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S on drivers side front wheel
AA Man to the rescue as I didnt fancy doing it as was on the side of passing vehicles and still just about dusk
so had to do the next 60 odd miles on the space saver down to Dumfries to get a new tyre fitted and the wheel checked for distortion. Thankfully no damage to wheel and all balanced up perfectly to finish the journey to Birmingham.
Not the end to my Cupra ownership I had imagined
