Everything fits! It's just a mather of how much modifications you have to do;)
-
Ah, here in norway the trucks and lorries drive on all year tires, and only when it gets real bad. they cuf the chains on the tires;)
-
We have to manage;) It's quite easy actually... Just bought myself a set of kick ass wintertires, wich helps alot! Drove studless tires last year. They were hopeless! Nope, not a day. It's expected of you to come to work, no mather how much snow there is... Well, don't be! It's great fun. All major parkingareas turns into skidding places at night. I'll try to get a photo of the Lupo in some real handbrake, snow drifting;) Yeah, or brits in general^^ But seriosly, don't you brits ever have to change over to wintertires?
-
another image from my city, don't know when this was taken, or even what year... but this is the amounts of snow we can get..
-
Know, it rox;) Yeah, you guys don't know what winter is! Some years we actually have 7-8 meters, yes METERS of snow! Not had that much snow since 1997 though. But, still.. kinda gives you an idea of how winter can be like up here;) 2007\2008 wintermode;)
-
Last year the Lupo got snowed in... This year though. THE LUPO FOUGHT BACK! Last year. During the winter i learned to master the skill of plowing snow. This year: I'll post a picture of the 2007/2008 wintermode of the Lupo another day

The retail price is aprox £80+ in Norway, for one! so around 160 for a set:(

After spending the christmas in the Canari Islands

Point taken:) I surely hope you brits ain't as crazy as the people that lived on my hotel, cause, I wanna drive to Edition 38 this summer:) but, Im afraid it will be a long trip for a low 1.0 Lupo:) And the trip would be less comfy, if i come to edition 38 and every brit gets on my nerve. -

It kinda gave me a disturbed image of how life in britain must be like:P -
I wanted to take it chill and drink beer, enjoying the sun etc. But it is my understanding that most brits are extremely loud and noisy. It kinda looked like everyone wanted to be noticed, grown ups as well as kids. I am not talking about 1 family, no I am talking about every person on the hotell from Britain. One parent actually managed to brake the foozball table, while his kid ran around, like a crazy dog, high on sugar! Is this how you brits really are? I have to ask... style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> And, sorry if my english ain't all good. <---Norwegian dude

I love black cars. That's why it so sad, that they are a pain in the ass to keep clean! And all the stone chips etc shows up so good when you polish the car too. One positive thing is that i could quit at my gym, cause i didn't need all the extra traning. I had enough just polishing and washing it every 2th day or so:P I own a black car now, and the next car i will own, will not be black. Sorry if my english ain't so good. Norwegian chap, you know:p PS, black cars hate Norwegian conditions=(

Anyone think this would work, without changing to much? I have a GTI 16V engine in good condition lying at home. And just started thinking, how about fitting it in the Lupo. The question is, do I have to change the transmission etc etc or will it hold? Thinking since it's a standard 1.0E Lupo.
