Took the old girl out for a track day at Bedford Autodrome - Great venue I would recommend it for anybody in that area.
Just to show how good the cupra is I took a couple pics
Drive down to Bedford
Great day on the track, top speed achieved was 145 very happy with that
After a mornings run and top up of the old V Power

Had it Mot'd at work. My colleague who carried out the test commented how faultless and pristine the car is. Happy days! (I knew already but always nice to have someone else say it 
)

-Pumped up the spare tyre, not been done since I got the car nearly 3 years ago 
Measured at 40 psi ...should be 60 psi.
-Cleared all the drains of leaf debris and crud
-Checked fluid levels. None needed.
-Checked tyre wear. All good.
-Drove to the pub...

Conties are a weak link on the Cupra.
Aye, always ran Michelin on the FR. Might just have to get a set, store the Contis, then hand the lease back with them
Would anyone else be up for a group buy on some Michelin PS4S’s or Super Sports in 235/35 R19.
I know @paddy6789 would be game. So that’s 8 tyres already.

Shall I see what places are near Blackpool
Not a bad idea. They could be in for a busy day
Out of interest what kind of savings can we get from group buys such as this? Getting my (non-group buy tyres fitted today), could I just have missed out on a cracking deal
? I ended up paying around £150 a corner fitted for mps4s from black circles with the current Michelin discount applied

I don't honestly know to be honest, Black Circles was the cheapest I could find with that discount at the moment. I'd hope to at least get them to £140 a corner, but I honestly don't know.Out of interest what kind of savings can we get from group buys such as this?

New tyres put on
Bye bye bridgestones, you won’t be missed
Some more pics
The guys also sorted out my exhaust as a freebie while I was there.
The baffles were not happy, so were pulled
Out
All out so I can now see through the exhaust to the first bend
Got alignment done too
Was all a bit out,
On the drive back (2 miles 30-40 mph) obviously not much to report, although I did get the impression that the road noise was reduced when compared to the mpss.

Strange why a company would go to the lengths of building a flag ship fast model for all the press to report saying how good it is apart from the tyres. You'd think that SEAT would want top marks from the outset and now they aren't offered as an upgrade just offer them from standard.
Interestingly though when I last had new tyres I bought the Falken FK510 as it's a good tyre for the price point and they offer a good warranty with them. Whilst I was there the fitter said later that day he had four Focus RS coming in to take off and replace with the Falken's. Maybe the Michelin's just don't suit that car?
