Probably the size Volkswagen spent millions of Euros on deciding upon. Only Joking! Or am I?

Look up old threads for nfbr's TDI.

I'm thinking of returning to Lupo ownership after about seven years absence. I'm favouring a GTI and possibly a TDI and would like to know what the aging Lupo now suffers from, the newest cars are approaching 9-10 years old. I know way back when, the 6-speed GTI was the one to go for, but over time things change in terms of long term reliability and ease of maintenance (including availability of parts). But many of the Old Skool CL members have moved on to other vehicles and the "newbies" are picking up our cast offs. GTI: 5 or 6 speed problems welcome. TDI: Enlighten me!

It was this that I was referring to from that road legal FF type thing they built, without going into the nitty gritty. But for those of us who like it easy, a 'simple' remap might give a healthy boost. Can't stand Chris Harris. He's so, so,..... expertly up his own arse. And wordy.

Yes, it might be back on with the same engine going into the next gen Polo and the Golf. If that engine is as good as Ford's 3 cylinder 1.0 offering, the tuning potential is deffo there. Must be an easy 120-130hp on a remap.

It's not happening, is it? Costs killed it.

I got a lifetime ban from the NUS in 1990/91 for being an "anarchist"! Not that I'd want to join again, bloody students. I'll not bore you with the details oif the trumped up charges brought against me, but it involved a paper aeroplane, George Bush, the NUS bar and some Palestinians.

If there is going to be a contest this year, please accept this as my entry. "Perfect 10 (inches)"

It's Rochdale innit bro?

About now!

I don't even know what the Harlem Shake is. All I see is a group of people dancing. Looks like the latest version of a Flash Mob thing. How about a Milk Shake? Or a Harlem Globetrotter?

3D printers will spell the end of centralised manufacture once the units become affordable and big enough to be useful. All you'll need in your home is the right "ink" and you'll be on your way. Download a licenced file for the item you want and get it done at home. We've already seen shoes, dresses, jaw bone implants, bicycles and other stuff printed out. Personally, this is my favourite. 3D printed artifact...

Indeed! So when you're driving and hink "what's that knocking?", it's not a suspension bush gone, it's Alec Issigonis trying to say "check out the build quality in this German Mini". Back on track, the Up! GT might spur Ford on to Abarth-ise the Ka. I can't understand why they haven't made a Ka ST already.
