  1. I've just taken delivery of my new UP! White and I think she looks beaut. Handles really well and moves pretty nifty for a 1ltr car. Was sad to wave bye to my Lupo though but it is staying in the family.
  2. I will now be using my lupo alot less now thanks to the crappy NCP car parks. I work at the local hospital for 4hours a day and can't get on the staff car park so have been parking across the road on an NCP car park which up until xmas eve cost me £3.30 a day. I go back to work on the 29 Dec only to find I have now got to pay £5 for up to 4hours when the Leicester Tigers next door charge £5 for a days parking. I emailed to complain as there were not advance warnings that the prices were going to go up and also the car park floods every time we have alot of rain and there are pot holes the depth of 3/4 of the height of your wheels and they have the nerve to put prices up without warning. They said that they are always looking at competitive pricing and sorry that I feel this way but hope I continue to use the car park. NOT ON YOUR NELLIE MATE!!! I have found out I can use the bus and get a ticket for 4 weeks for only £35.10....mmmm £125 a month for parking or £35 a month on the bus...Which would you choose???? Sorry needed to get that of my chest as I will miss my ride in my car, but going to try and beg for a staff pass seeing as I have worked there now for nearly 5 years. Have to work out some trips at weekends now so I can keep the Lupo ticking over as not getting rid of it. Rant now over HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE
  3. Don't really drink but Tesco had offer on WKD Blue so have been drinking them over Xmas
  4. Why do we always get smellies????? I got smellies from the Sanctuary, Scooby Doo-The beginning DVD, Harry Potter and the half blood prince DVD, Sonic and Mario Winter Olympic Games for the Wii, another motion plus for my other Wii remote and a scented candle oh and a new bed but I've had that since the beginning of December. Hope you all enjoyed your xmas dinner and who can't wait for Dr Who on New Years day?
  5. I would just like to wish everyone a merry christmas and a prosperous and fulfilling 2010

    tints

    I think tints are a personal thing. I have my back and two rears done and I don't thing it looks daft not having the fronts done but thats me personally. Also having the backs done give you an extra sense of security if they are dark as it is not easy to see into the car from outside but easy to look out from the inside.
  7. I think I paid about £7k for mine in 2001, that included a px on my Jetta and a few freebies thrown in for cheak
  8. Hello from a fellow Leicester dweller
  9. Yeah it is but it is something I have had to live with for the last 24years but still hurts when I have to stop driving
  10. It was off the road cause I was. I suffer with epilepsy so every time I have a fit I have to hand my license back for 12 months hence low mileage.
  11. I brought mine new in 2001 from VW dealer and I have never had any problems with it, might be that I have only just done 16000 and I have it serviced and MOT every year. I only use the car to go to work and back and occassionaly I have gone to shows and my brother took it to Edition 38 one year when his car was of the road. So may be that I do not do the miles for anything to have gone wrong yet, but in 8 years not done bad. Oh my window did get stuck a couple of weeks ago but the spring had just popped out of the sitting and it was just a case of putting it back but no other problems
  12. Brought brand new 2001 reg 1/4/01 1.0 lupo currently on 15432
  13. I brought my Lupo brand new from the dealership and have never had any problems with my car in the 8 years I have had it. The only times I have to go to the garage is for the MOT and service, so my opinion on Lupos is a great car and 110% reliable
  14. Had to take both door panels off and take out the mechanisum to the winder. When out the spring that winds the window up had come out of its housing so had to put back in. Cause it took abit of fiddling with the spring the plastic housing has crunched a bit so really need a new one. Now only wind my window down 3/4 of the way just incase it pops again. Hope this helps Sam
