Petrified

Indeed! Unfortunatly my loop has now gone. But he's back on the road now, with someone else and still tearing up the streets of south wales. I'll still be around though and not ruling out something in the future once I get my stuff together.

Oh yes!

Final update on this thread. LUP111N Lives on. He has been sold to another member on this forum and someone who lives not too far from me. He's back on the road and continues to put a smile on the drivers face. Five years of ownership was a blast, really. And I hope one day I'll own another Lupo and have the time/money to do something even more crazy. I don't think I ever put as much time and effort into a car than I did with this at the time. To the new owner, if he ever goes back to Santapod keep an eye on him as you may feel a slight pulling towards the track.

Glad you got this sorted out! I'm guessing that had been done by longlife who fitted the exhaust. Anyway enjoy the car matey. Think I'll need to change my sig now!

'tis a repost

think he pulled

Is the E38 website down? not been able to get on there since Thursday? Also seems odd they dont charge per day? I was planning to go on Saturday morning and leave late afternoon. £25 seems steep

heh, even I replied to this one back in the day

I did have one of these alongside my sport at one time. For driving around town I don't think you would really feel the difference. It may even be that the 75bhp torue peaks earlier making it a bit more pokey but it was a little while ago.

Don't blame me im just saving everyone time here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DCFPS58KYY http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=67338

May not be a big help, but interesting anyway I took this from my readers ride thread. Still useful to know

I've taken a sensible approach (first time for everything) and put this up for sale in the designated area. I'm doing this before I go insane and start spending more money on the car. It will be sad to see it go but if it doesnt I'll keep onto it a little while longer.

If you're paying that much for insurance phone as many places as you can. 20-30 if you have to to get the best price. I remember back in the day adrian flux gave me the best price on my polo, not sure how young they insure to. Also tried adding a parent onto your insurance? if you're paying as much at £2000 you could knock 1/4 of that off by adding a responsible driver, there are lots of other tricks too but I forget them. Anyway you'll probably hate me now, I just insured my lupo for £180 and its not quite standard. At least something to look forward too when you get older

I'll see how it goes then. I've got a week or 2 to look over the car to get it ready for an MOT. there used to be a website with a selfcheck pre MOT test thing you could do. The cars got no cat, it did pass emissions tests as ok without it. But I do have a replacable cat for it so just hope the bolts havnt seized up. A few others things like seat brackets and labeling the horn (rewired rear washer button) and it should be fine. If I do get it back on the road I think it may be a bit late to make any shows this year. I've been driving all sorts for the past couple of years, a mazda, a honda accord and my latest car being an alfa 156. looking forward to being behind the wheel of a vw again.
