Beezer= Ibiza
Diesel= I think you can work that one out

From the very ealy days of cupranet before the TDI tuning stuff really got going everyone else's username was cupra this and cupra that, but I'd done all the GTI tuning stuff years before hand and had got bored of it so decided to experiment with Diesel tuning. At the time Golf Diesels were crap, so when SEAT started putting the new fangled TDI motors in Ibizas in the late 90s I wasn't far behind in getting one.
The world has gone full circle though in the last 10 years or so.
Mind you I nearly always had an old GTI or Cupra of some sort knocking around in the back ground and had various other user names usually 'ghost' related because I've always worked shifts and was often the only person on a VW forum in the middle of the night! But in those days the forums weren't very stable and often the site would crash meaning you'd need to re-register and often someone else would nick your username if it was a good 'un. seatcupra.net must have had the most stable forum over the years to the username just stuck. :smiley:

I loved doing the trees and I travelled a fair bit over Europe helping my sensei' kevin Willson.
Essex born and bred but considered one of the best bonsai artists in Europe if not the western world... So I was lucky to have good teacher.
But any help I can give just ask lol.
I still have a few. One is a Caledonian scots pine about 300 yrs old. Couldn't part with it even tho the funds would have poss elevated me to ed30 territory lol

I have 2, and to be honest I would not have bought one if i had the choice.

The first was bought as a lovely surprise present by my mother, who has since passed on, so it is on retention, and will be fitted to the R when I get round to it, as a constant lovely memory.

The other came with the R, and will be getting removed, supposedly worth £1000, but we will see.

I have 2, and to be honest I would not have bought one if i had the choice.

The first was bought as a lovely surprise present by my mother, who has since passed on, so it is on retention, and will be fitted to the R when I get round to it, as a constant lovely memory.

The other came with the R, and will be getting removed, supposedly worth £1000, but we will see.



whats the one on the R??
