Hi guys
Although I’ve contributed to the forum over the last couple of months I’ve never really introduced myself.
So absolute pleasure to say a big hello from sunny Bournemouth.
My username says where I was born but moved along the coast a few years ago.
Have been driving Vauxhalls over the last 15+ years with the exception of a fiesta st in 2016 which was fantastic by the way.

I traded in a 68 plate Astra 1.6t Sri for a seat Ibiza FR last sept but decided it was too small so have sold it for same money (thanks to crazy car prices) and have just had delivered a Puma ST-line X 125 in desert island blue.
Cracking looking car and looking forward to 36 months with it. Got a brilliant deal via milease .

I’ve always tinkered with my cars (remaps , induction , spoilers etc) but as a lease can’t really touch it. Also need a quieter life these days as nearing 55 .
So will just enjoy the car , hopefully get good mpg etc.
Looking forward to contributing more on a daily basis , seems like a good bunch on here.

I’ll certainly do tests over the next few weeks although I’ve got it for 3 years now lol.
I’m used to good mpg on the 110hp seat Ibiza FR I traded in and speed from my old Astra 1.6t 200hp so something in between would be great. I’ve not 100% sure if I can modify the puma as on lease but I did ask another lease company a few months ago about modifying and they said as long as it comes back original no probs , just make sure insurance company knows everything…that’s fair enough I thought. But I’m guessing all lease companies don’t have the same view so will look into this.
