  1. that would be me and flo :) done a solo at curborough but not got up there to sprint yet! would love to though :) xx

    I’m not usually a fan of red, but I have to say yours looks spot on! :thumbup:

    I'm doing a sprint their next month, my first.... In a Aston Martin DB5. Done a few track days there in the past.

    9.9/10 of the times i have been to Curborough..... 25 or more it has rained..... It always rains at Curborough!!

    Actually, I was wondering what time a GTI would do there on a single lapper???????????????????

    lol yeah it’s usually got a dark cloud over it, but when the sun does come out it makes it better.

    I think the GTI would do a fair time around there; the problem is it would be competing in the 1400-2000cc group so always going to have bigger engines against you, but with it being smaller than most it could be a good weapon of choice :rolleyes:

  2. What do you do at Curborough??

    Most of the time just watch what’s sprinting, the Shenstone club is one of the best that goes there, things from the new Nissan GTR - brand new M5, to smaller things like Cateham, radicals etc... It’s a good mix of cars going round most of the time so not a bad afternoon out if the weather is ok.

    Also been there with the other half when him and a few of his mates have hired the course out for the day, all good fun too, haven’t took my car round as yet as I’m still working on improving it, but a good little introduction to track with little risk.

  3. It did seem to be in mint condition inside and out, only 26k(ish) on the clock and it was a 6 speed as well.

    credit crunch again :(

    The credit crunch must be having an affect with some of the other cars that were there too, a few civic type R, Porsche Boxster, mustang, and brand new Golf GTI just to name a few!

  4. Went down to the BCA today just for a look around and see what my small amount of cash could get me, was wondering around an spotted a GTI in the corner, you could guarantee if I went back everyday in the next year I wouldn’t ever see another one there!

    Sadly had to leave before it went through, but gauging on the prices that the other cars where going for the buyer probably got a bargain!

    Oh well... :(

  5. You need to look for all the common lupo problems on a sport, unfortunately they can suffer them all! Pedal box and gearbox being the main ones.

    Yeah I’ve heard this before when looking around for info, im very tempted to go for the 1.0 for a year, save some money up and then move up the scale for the GTI, which is what I’ve always wanted :blush:

  6. Sorry to highjack the thread a little, but I have been wondering the same thing, I want to get a Lupo, and ideally the 1.4 16v sport, but as I will have no no-claims and it will be my first year driving I was wondering if it was a good idea.

    Is there anything I should look out for with either model? And generally I was just looking for your opinions on both models and which one might be the better choice.

  7. Yep that'll be us.

    If you saw a red & black GTi on a driveway just outside Sutton Coldfield town centre then it will have been ours on Jens mums driveway.

    What brings you to the wonderful Sutton Coldfield :P

    Yeah must be, they both looked very nice indeed!

    I live in Wylde Green so its only down the road from me, don’t tend to see many lupo's around I don’t think so when I see a GTI they especially catch my eye :D Im hoping to get the 1.4 16v sport in the summer when I have some funds! :shades:

    oooh sounds like me! hehe how exciting

    x

    Yep that’s the one! Have to say it looks amazing, all the better for being slammed! :D
