Hi All

I registered here ages ago when I was looking for a new car, but bought a Peugeot 306 GTi-6 instead ;). I originally wanted a Cupra about 3 years ago but the price was too high at the time.

Alas my much loved 6 died on Thursday of last week and I went shopping this weekend and bought a Mk1 Cupra 180 '02 plate in the understated Grey. 'Twas the 6th Cupra I took a looking at and seems in good nick. Picking it up on Friday or Saturday of this week and very much looking forward to it.

Stu :D

Good things come to those who wait, hey ;)

Will be worth the wait, I'm sure. Great cars the GTi-6 though, what happened to it?

Stalled dead, had to pull over to a layby. Fortunately no-one near me at the time. Wouldn't turn afterwards, suspected cam belt break, which is quite common after around 40k miles although they should last about 60k.

Effectively a rebuild or new engine and not worth the cash to keep her.

Very much looking forward to picking up the Cupra now though...
