Yesterday I was involved in a major RTC looks like my beloved MK1 vRS will be written off. So what to buy a new vRS or I quite like the look of a Seat Leon Cupra K1 as it 240 BHP as standard and remaps to 300 BHP with stage 1 from Revo WDYT?

Sorry to hear about that mate but glad you walked away.What happened?

SEAT is a nice car if you can find a good one:thumbup:

cupra is my choice there, id have gone for it, but needed a big boot, hence the octavia

I was driving towards Cirencester on the A419 going past Swindon following a silver MR2

we both passed a lorry then MR2 cut in infront of the lorry only to find traffic emerging from a slip road the MR2 then turned hard right and I mean hard right 90 degrees to the road in front of me I had nowhere to go and crashed straight into the side of her. The Police have charged her with carless driving!

If I had not hit her I think she would have crossed into the other carigeway. I did my best the keep my car in a striaght line . my only injurys are a burn to right wrist fron the airbag and stiff everywhere may passenger has lower back pain and we are both shaken up.

I have attached an image to show the damage:mad:

after looking at the Leon dashboard it's fugly don't know if i can live with it Octavia is much better. Anybody no where the best deals are the best I have found so far is £15.5K for solid colour vRS brand new

Oh ****!

Glad you're ok though!

Maybe that'll teach the women for c*cking around!

And yes, Cupra K1 FTW

I wondered who's car it was, I drove past not long after the police got there........quite a mess and I am glad you are OK

Thanks everybody for your concern nobody was injured althought I still keep see her turn hard right in my mind into me:rotz: she had the ordasity to blame everybody but herself, I had plenty of wittness's to it; I just hope that the insurance company gives me enough to clear my outstanding finance, so i can start agian. The car was in emaculate condition 55 plate I owned it from new and had 48K on the clock by looking on Skoda's used car site I think it's worth about £6.7K on a forecort and I shall battle for the best money possible

Eeek thats a write off for sure.

Holy crap thats a mess! Glad you could walk away from that.....and the last few 55 plate Mk1 vRS ive seen at dealers have been priced around £6795-£6995 range with around 30-40K miles.

That's close to my house! Ouchy.

Glad your okay.

Hire car should be here tomorrow I would like my payout ASAP but I think everybody does in my shoes. I still not sure on the Cupra I need to see the dash in the flesh if I buy one it be new so I know what life it's had. Now if could afford it I would like a Focus RS but @ £24K it's a bit steep :eek:

So I will probley look a a face lift MK11 vrs

Sorry about the crash mate:mad:

sat in one of the cupras about 2 weeks ago and its not nice inside-its dark, cramped and fussy compared to the octy. The quality doesnt look as good either.

It all depends on your circumstances as well-do you need the extra room of the octy?

i would be tempted by the 240 bhp but i dont know if they handle any better and where i live it would attract a lot more unwanted attention.

Its a nice worry to have though mmmm octy vrs or leon cupra????

good luck whichever you choose.

Hi Mate

I am sorry to hear of this mate any idea's who is supplying a hire to you ?? Hope this gets settled ASAP for you. I am glad your're Ok. Perfect time for a cuppa tea, to relax you

TL

Ouch, bet that was nasty to be involved in, really glad you're ok...the main thing.

The SEAT cupra would be my favourite.

What a horrible sight but it's nice to see the octi standing upto the impact and allowing to to get out relativly un-harmed.

If the mk1 is fine for you, why not look at another one?

Well I think I am pretty much set on a MKII Octavia vRS in race blue 200 Bhp soon to a bit more if you know what I mean;) been to several dealers over that couple days let's hope I get my payout ASAP

Oh god sorry to see that but glad you are ok.I hope all goes well:thumbup:

Don,t think you can go wrong with a MK2 Octy VRS good choice.
