Mr ColinG Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 (edited) Well after selling the Lupo six months ago, couldnt keep away.Flying down to Nottingham on Wednesday to collect this and drive it back.Would really preferred a different colour but this one was too good to pass up.Before anyone asks, this will not be a show car, this is for the wife to use as a daily.

Mr ColinG Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Do you keep in contact with the owner of your old Loop, what's happened to it?Not really, his brother is on here, lad from Cumbria bought it, it was at the Cumbria Vag show last weekend.Bet you regret getting rid of your old one massivly now and also must be bit of da ja vu with this new one Not really, we had taken the car so far and to quote my wife I had made it virtually unusable as a daily, scared to leave it anywhere, also with all the speed humps/ state of the roads.Deja vu in some ways but this one will be used every day, not just rolled out for shows like the last one ended up.

Rich Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 You mean you can actually enjoy driving this one ? Best colour, no sunroof, jealous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Welcome back to the fold! Seems like an excellent example.I know you're not modding, but you need to close the arch gap, otherwise you'll find yourself homing illegal immigrants.

Silver! Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 As pointed out by someone who will remain nameless...Before anyone asks, this will not be a show car, this is for the wife to use as a daily.I have contemplated the wider dishers but the offset is ET25 and putting on wider dishes would mean rolling & pulling the arches even with stretch which i am not keen on, remember it is the wifes daily, unless I get different RS's with a higher offset.Wind deflectors, Hmmm not for me.

Looked tidy though.Congrats on the new purchase anyway! I wonder how long it will be before the first modification is done... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 First mod will be for Val to remove the keys from Colin's hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr ColinG Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 First mod will be for Val to remove the keys from Colin's hands. Probably Camebridge lights ordered. £38 extra to change the insurance over from the red one, one of the few advantages of being old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
