What did you drive before you joined the LEON stable?

I had a Mk3 Clio Renaultsport 200 for 3 years and p/xd it for the Cupra R which I've had just over 2 weeks .
I'm sure the R will be as much fun as the Clio was :)

Honda Civic Type R EP3 - sorely missed!!! not because i dislike my FR TDI but because it was alot more exciting but cost me nearly £175 more to run a month so this reminds me why i changed lol ;P

My last car was a Chrysler PT Cruiser Limited Edition (petrol) - needed an engine which gave performance like my Leon TFSI. Big American car needed a big American engine, V8 or somesuch!

This is my return to the 'VW' brand, my first car was a 1302S (much missed).

VW Fox 1.2 :p
3 cilinder beast

KIA Pro-Cee-apostrophe-D as JC would call it
1.6... Ok car but to springs to soft and setup/shocks are hard so not comfortable

FIAT Grande Punto 1.4 T-jet Sport
120 bhp standard, changed turbo from Mito 155/Punto Abarth 155 though... then induction and software, running on 165/170 bhp. Can keep up with Clio 197/200 in a straight line for most of the time.

And now offcourse Mk2 Cupra with software running on ~ 300 bhp. Love it :D

FIAT punto 1.2 sporting 2001

Before that I had a F reg BMW 320I, Touring, with a tow bar....
Also a H&R cup kit, fully re-vamped suspension with all new bushes, M3 front suspension, Brembo discs with yellowstuff pads and a limited slip diff to handle the onslaught of the 2.8 straight 6, E36 compact steering rack (3.2 turns rather than the standard 4) and some VDO dials to keep an eye on the oil temp/pressure on track days.... 20 mpg was getting expensive though.
