Glad it got a few people... I dreamt it up over breakfast this morning (hence it's a bit short compared to most)

Fished a fair few on facebook too

My favourite line was

“We soon realised that the advised customer did not want up to date levels of comfort, handling or build quality" yet nobody bit!

m0rk, it had me for about 5 minutes, during which time I was excited about replacing my LCR for a new one. Even lol'd at the "Wales" bit without realising 'til after!

I must admit for 5 minuites it had me too, until i read the full story.:D Its really funny, i was even nodding to myself thinking they've finally come to thier senses and i was seeing my lcr's value trippling over night.ha ha
The killer blow was the reference to Wales LMFAO and i could imagine mark and the management p**sing themselves as they dreamt it up and wrote the commentry.
:clap:

It wasn't our 'best' April Fools

This was in 2008 http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=166121

We 'revealed' the Mk5 Ibiza, which was actually a Chevrolet Aveo with SEAT badges (pictures have since been lost)
