CupraSmitten's Mk4 Ibiza Cupra TDI

[CupraSmitten]

Formerly DARRENW's car, but mine since March last year - and i love it!

How it was when it left the showroom (wish i could get the paint like this!) - taken Motorshow, Birmingham, Oct 2004 (must've known i was going to buy one!!)

The car now, sorry should've dressed the tyres!

Looks good mate. I want a Cupra Tdi...

 

[mrcoyote]

Looks very similar to mine, but a pre-facelift model?

 

[Damoegan]

Looks nice mate.

Got any plans for it?

 

[Clone]

Looking very nice indeed.

 

[CupraSmitten]

Cheers y'all!

Not sure if i've got any plans really.

I'd like to say a remap - but will wait for the clutch to start slipping first and then get it all done at once, other real plans are HIDs, maybe a stubby aerial and possibly to paint those wheels black.

I do a lot of mileage though. I bought it on 47k in March and it's on 65k now - lots of trips to NE with work (Damoegan - fancy a coffee/pint sometime - i'm normally sat in NE hotels on my own when i work away - could meet up sometime??) - so hence the reason for no real mods yet.

Plan was to keep the car a couple of years - but i do really like it and would like to keep it forever - well at the moment anyway - you know how it is!

No probs mate, just drop me a PM any time your around

 

[CupraSmitten]

Will do mate.

im in Birtley on Wednesday - but probably only a day visit this week.

 

[Damoegan]

I used to work in Birtly and only work round the corner from there now. It only takes me about 15 mins to get there.

 

[CupraSmitten]

By the way - those 2 Ibiza pics are of two different cars!

I didn't buy the ex-show car - as far as i know anyway!!!

Ok mate, see how the week pans out Mon/Tues and will let you know what time im going to be there. Im at a meeting at Drum Ind Est.

Sometimes stay either in Belmont, or in the Newcastle City centre area.

 

[Damoegan]

No probs mate, just let me know.

Very nice car!!

 

[CupraSmitten]

Cheers Danny - got your PM - will reply when i've cleared my mailbox out! (again)

A few more pics.

Basically, i took my little lad for a ride one Sunday morning as he was tired and wouldn't go to sleep. This particular week, mid September, i took him round Liverpool - ended up looking for Beatles places!

Strawberry fields

Again, Strawberry fields

And again

Guess where?

Paul McCartneys house down this road

Blue Angel Nightclub - where the Beatle's members auditioned for the band

A bold statement!

Cream

The Jacaranda - a bar that the Beatle's first manager also used to run, as well as the band

Outside Ringo Starr's birthplace - the only house in the whole street not boarded up!

 

[CupraSmitten]

Outside the Casbah coffee club - where the Beatles performed first as another name!

some good pics there

 

[CupraSmitten]

Cheers - you'll have to join me on a jaunt sometime mate.

Ringo Starr's old street is completely derelict.

Would be good for a meet really - other than its quite rough apparently.

 

[dannyFR+tdi]

Wasnt they trying to knock down Ringo's old house as part of redevelopment of the area or something like that??? yeah mate no worries would be good that

 

[CupraSmitten]

Yeah, Madryn Street is the name. It's part of the 'Welsh streets' area that they want to flatten.

Nice scenic pics matey, nice ride!
