I can see one fault . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .


Its a a SEAT!!!!!!!!!! :sick


I'd have one of their A4 rip offs tho.

When I think of Seats I just think back to my mates sisters cars back in the early/90's

Maybe modern day Seats are better than those, that scared my eyes back in 93/94.

Very fast as we raced it home as I was in her 206 gti 180 and left me for dust lol

Great cars

Steven doesn't pay money for cars... he swaps them.... This was a big mac, large fries and an apple pie, the guy wanted a drink too, but Steven is good at negotiation :grin:

TBH a bog standard cav turbo isn't actually all that, yes there quick, but allot of cars are quicker.

Now play with it a little and then there something else.

0-60 in 6.4 is not shabby by any standards. Espec for a car almost 20 years old.
