As some of you may know, SEAT is of course part of the rather significant Volkswagen Group, and up until recently it had a bit of a reputation for being the runt of the litter.

The New SEAT LEON
So, today, The Engine Room Show went to the launch of the brand new SEAT LEON.

Now, that was cool but having your own jersey with your name on it hanging in the changing room was SUPER-COOL!
I’m not smiling because the jersey in question is a Rovers jersey. As a Bohs fan, that was as happy as I could be.
The changing rooms are really cool.
We got to walk out on to the pitch too!
Then, we all got a pic on the Irish bench!
This was the sight that greeted us coming down the stairs out of The Aviva.
So cool!
And they’re all FR models.
And I got one in black to drive for a week.
Extra nice.
Here I am talking about it on my radio show:
