Back to the SEAT Dervs....

[andy_gdon]

The wifes derv yaris was coming up to MOT and she wanted a bigger motor (I just wanted a quicker car ) As our daily runner it needed to be diesel. Apparently its the first over here in Northern Ireland, and are a limited run!!

Goes well, and has plenty to keep me amused on the journey to/from work - heated leather is pure luxury when sleeping en route to work

We'll see

for an everyday wagon it ticks all the right boxes - must be getting old and sensible.........next i'll be fussing over where is cheapest to sort out my alloys

 

[Smick]

Plenty of kit in that, should keep you amused for a bit. Well 5 mins lol

The 17s actually look about the size of 15s on it! Must be a decent enough sized wagon, or just big arches.

 

[andy_gdon]

in reality they look bigger....the wife is worse with than a camera than i am though!!

 

[Snoopcousins]

Nice motor Andy, will keep an eye out for it...

 

[andy_gdon]

cheers...not quite as fun to drive as the Evo, but at least no one notices you coming!!

Think I seen your Evo in the Rathgael Rd Garage the other day, is it blue? You may have seen me parked too.

 

[andy_gdon]

Nah thats Amos' 9....or it could be the Evo6 i see floating around-abit rough round the edges though!!

Best place to spot an Evo is at the petrol station

 

[andy_gdon]

This is my evo....

 

[Snoopcousins]

Very nice matey!

i see what u did there. lol. u know urself andy it'll be straight up to obd. tidy wagon. best of luck with it

 

[Nicky]

Go on Andy.. BIG rims, coil-overs, Re-Map, FMIC, Garret Turbine and some trick interior mods.. You know you want to..

Best of luck with it anyway lad, but its nothing compared to that Evo.. Still thinking of the noise it made going up the straight in front of Balloo

 

[ossy2004]

very nice andy, liking the extras alot. although im with everyone here...youl be lowering it soon enough and you know it lol.

yaris gone then? no moe rattly speakers? lol yeooo

 

[andy_gdon]

No more rattles....full stop lol

I'm not spending a penny on it, as every pound spent on the Altea is more money away from the Evo

Cheers for the comments though.

@ Nicki....The Evo definately does have a more destinctive houl.

comming home function??

nice choice andy - the 140 PD's are really good, pulls rightly!

 

[Woodsie]

Lovely looking wagon, was just thinking the same Boydie. Whats the Coming Home function then?

 

[Gambit]

what the hell is a "coming home function" does it put the kettle on for you or something?

 

[ossy2004]

^^lolll^^

 

[Brendan]

"Coming Home Function" - My dad was looking into these, when he was getting automatic gates..

When you drive into the driveway the gate or garage door automatically opens- It uses sensors that are unique to each automatic device so nobody else can get in your gates..

I think thats what the function is...or mabye it does turn the kettle on....

Car looks mightly well andy, But you will have something done to it in the next few months...

 

[Taz007]

very nice andy - well tricked out too

 

[andy_gdon]

coming home function - at night you just leave the lights on, jump out and lock the car. 30sec later the lights switch off. We normally just leave the lights on auto.

cheers for the comments - really love it. great car to cruise about in, with no rattles etc etc.

Decent enough power, very smooth. Will never light the tarmac up but goes 10 times better than the Yaris!!

 

[Boydie]

remaps to 185 andy - just to let you know
