Bye FR+, hello Speed Blue MK2 Cupra R

[Legojon]

This is indeed a sad moment in time, but onwards and upwards!

I need to change my sig.

 

[Legojon]

Did I hear a voice in the background saying ‘I’m a bit sad’?
That was like me and my lad when I watched someone drive away in my VRS after having it 13 years from brand new.

Haha yeah. I didn’t want to sell it. But my wife couldn’t drive it and we’d agreed to sell both our cars and get a new one we can both drive.

Are there no buses your way for your wife?
Fair do’s, a couple of my mates are down to one car now as they are permanently working from home.
Are you replacing with another Seat/ Cupra?

Haha. It's for the monthly hairdresser run!

TBH, both of us work from home now. So we have (had) two cars sitting rusting on the driveway. So now we'll just have one.

It was touch and go for a while what we were getting / what we'd be happy with. But luckily the wife saw a really nice 290 Lux she really liked. Signature pic updated accordingly.

I'm still in shock because it's not blue... At least I carried on the tradition haha

Hi mate, I’ve seen your old car for sale and I’m quite interested in it, I’ve had a look through this thread and the car looks like it’s been well looked after, just wondered if there’s anything I should look out for if I do buy it or any upcoming problems or things that could need doing/replacing ? Cheers

Good news. Glad you’re sticking around with the 290.
What colour have you gone for if it’s not blue?

Due to the low mileage I'm doing, it broke my heart, but I got rid of my Mk2 FR+ this weekend

Luckily, in a moment of madness, I almost bought a Focus ST... but instead swapped for a MK2 speed blue Cupra R

Much appreciated mate i wonder if the wavetrac diff is still in it as the seller never mentioned that. Am not knocking the person that modified it but I take it how its been modified its at its most reliable it can be?. I always wanted one with the sunroof and arm rest and in speed blue. The only thing that puts me off it is theres 1 key and the miles its on 98k now. I know the key is not a big thing as I can get one cut but its more money.
