Hey guys and gals!

Joined the forums as I hope to pass my test soon! 21 and only just learning to drive. Since my family don't want me getting a Honda (probably think i'll be a boy racer), I thought, VAG vehicles would be good! Always been a fan of the GTI, but a bit out of my price range, plus, I would hate myself if I got one and damaged it somehow. Looking at getting any Lupo that's cheap on Insurance, and maybe modify provided the insurance allows it at a fair price!

Btw, i'm normally in Winchester, but I also live in Worthing near Brighton! If I get a car in time, I might take it up to Ace Cafe on 30th Sept (provided I pass *fingers crossed, praying to a hypothetical god*)

Haha, that's cool, someone down south with a GTI, I only seem to find more up north! Insurance for a GTI as my first car is only £1200. That's cheap for me lol :P But its the upfront cost of buying one. I don't have £3k to dump on one :P And I don't trust myself either :P Do you go to any meets down here?

Wow £1200 is only £100 more than I pay, and I'm almost 24. Yeah I went to Leeds to get mine, they are rare as anything in the south yet there were 4-5 for sale within 20 minutes of each other in Yorkshire...

I've only had mine a week and a half so not got round to doing anything yet but Mattz341 on here lives near Brighton and has an orange GTI I really want to see, so maybe we could arrange to all meet up at some point along with any other south coasters lurking :P

Hello and welcome!

I'm not on the coast as such, but not a million miles away, loiter a lot in crawley, but my gti isn't my daily anymore, I have an Up! for that, but I'd be willing to come down and meet you guys if you ever decided to meet up somewhere (Madeira Drive maybe?)

You have a gti as a weekend car? Really? I mean if that's what you want to do fine but my weekend car would be a little more out there. Each to their own and what makes you happy and all that though.

Are you saying this to me? I am keeping my GTI forever as I've owned since it was a year old and had 7k on the clock, in fact I have owned it 11 years tomorrow. It was my daily until February, but I spotted my Up! at work and it was a sensible replacement. I cannot part with my Lupo, I know all its history, what I've done, all the work carried out on it and as I work for VW, it has full dealer history. It still makes me smile when I drive her. I just know I'd regret it if I ever sold it.

I am starting to wonder why you are on a Lupo forum DBlock, as all you ever seem to do is slag them off.

Cheers guys!

I will check Adrian Flux out!

Compare the market have provided me with the cheapest quotes of the comparison sites used so far, if I do go with them, i'm keeping the meerkat lol.

I am after a Lupo TDI, unfortunately, the one I was bidding on ebay, that one got sold privately (even though she didn't want offers).

Anyone know of any TDIs for sale? What would one go for as they are a bit harder to come by?
