Nice ride. Love the wheels ! (I am a little obsessed with wheels at the mo, as I am on the hunt for new wheels for my 03 NB cabrio)

Welcome to the forum, not a lot of Seat's here, but a few waterpumpers so all is good

yeah yeah! I tested those Eyebeetha GTis when they were brand new (seems like last month!!) and they were ace! It's kinda a pity VW importers didn't choose to badge them as VWs here in Oz - they would have sold heaps more. I like 'em. Welcome!

I've seen the car, neat job.
So does the number plate stand for "Asset"
or "Force it"

thanks for the comments all

Lams: i dunno... we'll go for a sunday afternoon spit drive... my brother is interested in the GTi golf... so yeah

11Cab: yeah the plates stand for Asset. no plans to force induct the engine..... yet, hehehe. and where about have you seen the car?? and what car do you drive??

Karmen: yeah i rang the Wrecker down in sydney last week.... i think... and they have a Cupra (2L DOHC 16v). i asked how much it would cost for the wreck, and he told me they don't sell wrecks :(... so just gotta figure out what parts i need...

i have currently been going through a fair bit of bad lucky latly... 4 acco's in 3 weeks... only one was my fualt... so i have driven the car once since last friday.. and am waiting for the damage to get fixed then i'll continue with the driving.

have a good one all
