Finally getting some decent weather again and now freshly cleaned.
Do want
MOT time and then a bit of a nose underneath. Used but in good shape and all greens on the MOT, though gonna need some new tyres after Silverstone finished them off from when I got some dry running. In the wet I could have walked the lap quicker.

@Housey how have the running costs been? Is it reliable? Have you done a lot of miles in it? Just interesting to see how modern high performance mercs are.
Washed the civic. Loving this car.

Been a while since I have just gone for a drive for the sake of it. Took my little boy with me for some B-road blasting on a lovely day

250 miles today around various beautiful roads in Dorchester and western Hampshire with PCGB.
Car is absolutely nuts around bends, and I’m happy to say that my early concerns with the PS4S have been rectified. The tyres are seemingly made of glue.

Yep, that is an car alright!
The steering wheel looks nice and chunky.

Pretty much the same wheel as the MK4 ST I had, shame the rest of the interior doesn't really match up.
Tyre after 2 miles. Went bang as I turned on the drive as the spring rubbed the sidewall away. Smokey ! £216 for a new one
The fleet. M3 feels tiny after the cupra.

7yrs 32k miles bought. Now 68k. Still in good nick they just don’t like being parked. Think I need a new battery too (limped it since Covid )

Silly little turd.

Love it. If you get the rest of the engine bay and underside of bonnet all detailed it'll looks really tidy.

Thanks. The engine bay is as good as its going to get, I gave it a good scrubbing and touched up a few bits when the engine was out.
I will clean the underside of the bonnet at some point though!
It is! And I had to get a 45 degree hose and set it at *precisely* that angle so that it fits under the stock bonnet with millimetres to spare.
I don't really like the ridiculous noise it makes to be honest, but it looks cool and its a genuine 2000's HKS nugget so it stays.
I'm due to swap my car soon and the Cupra Born is in my top three considerations
