Hi guys i have owned cupra for a couple of weeks now so i thought i would start a readers ride thread .
Before i start im gonna list my previous cars just for the fun of it :
3 x fiesta mk3 1.3
1 x fiesta si mk 3 1.4 then converted toa 2 litre
astra mk3 1.4
corsa sport 1.6
106 gti
rover 220 tomcat turbo
rover 220 1.6
vauxhall calibra 2litre redtop
astra mk3 gsi
honda civic 1.4
corsa gsi converted to a 2litre redtop
another corsa sport 1.4 which i converted to a 1.6
mk 4 golf gti 2 litre
now a vectra saloon ( famil car )
and finally lol my mk3 ibiza cupra

i am only 22 so as you can see i dont keep my cars long but i feel differently about the cupra its a nice car in my eyes at least!
But my only worry is spending too much money on it.

Hey guys just thought I'd post somethin up quick as I'm off on hold tomorow so already needing to spend more money from replys I have had to a post seems as my maf sensor if shot so got one ordered up from the local dealer. Not to bad a price if I exchange in my old. Which is no good to me.

Anyhow thinking of going hybrid after Christmas just trying to weight up my options. I prefer a more aggressive drive if that makes sense. Any thoughts on this appreciated
