Right, I have finally managed to sell the Golf 20VT. However I found a Mk3 Golf Estate TDi with low miles at a very good price; I couldnt resist it so Ive gone for it. Who knows, I might own a Lupo soon. Love them enough!

Yeah, Ive always liked the look of Lupos. I was never really in the VW scene in Zim, only got into it when I moved over here and bought my first Scirocco. Wont buy anything other than VAG now!

Been past Rhodesia a couple of times! Keep meaning to stop in and get something from there with the name on it style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="B)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" /> Yes its def gone downhill in the past few years; must admit I noticed a difference when I went back after my first year over here in Sept 2004. Ive still got the parents and a brother over there. Whats your Lupo history?

Welcome mate.

Originally from Harare aswell, Borrowdale boy! I'm in the Loughborough (Leicestershire) area. Currently renting in a little village just outside Loughborough but the house we're buying is in Loughborough. Already had 3 braai's this year style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="B)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" /> There's a group of 4 of us Zimbos in the area! How long have you been over here?

Thanks for the info Paul style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Good to meet another Zimbo through the forums style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /> We'll have to organise a meet over the braai! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Hi, very sweet GTi style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="B)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" />

How about a 3dr Mk4 Golf 1.8T? You would have alot of change from 12K and if you went for a 180bhp model you wouldnt be short on thrills. Build quality is impeccable. Stick with VAG style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> PS Seat Leon Cupra R has 225bhp...

Thanks for that, has answered a few quetions style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

What has VW done to achieve an extra 25hp from what I understand to be the same engine?

@ Canonman: Thanks, had actually thought about an SDi. Whats the tax per year on one? Thanks Im originally from Zimbabwe and Kariba is a favourite holiday destination style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

6'4" here. As said before on this thread the Lupo seems to be made for the taller driver's drivers in mind. I don't own a Lupo yet but have been to look at a couple (sit in aswell) and there's def more room than the Sciroccos.

Thanks ppl @ Jon_273: I would like a 1.4 Sport 16V 100bhp, but it all depends on how well my Goof sells and what finances I have to pay off. But Im sure the 75bhp 1.4 would be fine style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> I just cant wait to get one and start playing style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Thanks style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
