  1. Quite an upgrade, now the government and petrol stations will love you. ;)

    the noise from the v6 is worth the road tax alone haha, already used half a tank of fuel and only 78miles to show from it :o

  2. I'm driving with roofbars on at the moment pretty much 24/7. Never know when I might need to catch some waves. Fuel economy is the same, so I can't see the hassle of taking them off being worth it.

    yeah il keep the bars on but not the box unless i need it.....so have you not noticed a diffrence in fuel by keeping them on?

  3. lol, I'm off camping later this week.

    I have to take the lower rear seats out so i can get all the stuff in and have the

    drivers seat all the way back.

    Maybe I should consider a roof box. :)

    couple of weeks ago we went camping and i only managed my tent, air bed and sleeping bags and few other things then started to struggle, we are going from glasgow to the lake district this weekend and the roof box fits most things i need and somethings in the boot.....aslongs as nothing is sittting on the leather seats in the back im happy i dont wanna rip them :)

  4. yeah, its just to bring them in line with what other fuel tanker drivers are being paid......a few shell drivers have been saying that the figure of 36k is not what they get its more like 31.5k but overtime brings there wages up and working days off....where as bp/ texaco can pay alot more for just a basic week.

  5. i looked at a few absolute shitters before finding my GTi.......

    had to go to Reading (150+ mile round journey) to find an 02 with aircon, heated leather and 6 spped and even better just 26k on it, got £1k off the asking price too......

    if you're willing to bide your time and go look at a few the ideal one will come up - id also say dont rule out ones without leather as you could let your desire for leather inadvertently make you turn down a minter without leather and buy a dog purely because you were too hung up on one aspect

    That was the same for me, i went from glasgow to reading to get the gti i wanted, exact same spec and year aswell as yours, but at the end of the day it was worth traveling that far.

  6. Done a trial fitting of the new wheels il be putting on the lupo, just wondering what use all think?
