  1. Saw you in Newton Abbot on Exeter Road
  2. 'Travis 199'? Named after the legend that is Travis Pastrana by any chance?
  3. i haven't done bad, it's my first bump and i've been driving nearly two years, glad it was just a bump not smash though lol i'd stopped next to parked cars and my foot slipped off the brake pedal and clipped a parked van that was sticking out, it could have been much worse though, i had been reversing quite fast, as it was a stupid tourist that didn't understand how to reverse, so glad it was just a split in the bumper.
  4. there may have been a minor incident.... clipped the back end on a van! luckily the van wasn't damaged, but Kermit now has a boo boo. Have managed to fix it a little though: before: after: i think i might get one of those 'oops' arrow stickers for it till i get it fixed properly.
  5. thanks, at least that way i know she'll use it. they look quite cool, i was thinking maybe something like that, or a wind up torch? keep the suggestions coming!
  6. A friend of mine is going traveling across Australia at the beginning of next month and I want to get her a little something to take with her. I thought a compass, or a travel wallet, but have been beaten to it by others! I was thinking maybe a little tool thing with gadgets and stuff on, but am worried it'll get taken off her as she's flying over. Anyone have any unique ideas? xx
  7. My brothers just had a quick look at it and said something about the whole back part being replaced. Something about it being the original so there's no join? As you can tell, I don't know much about cars lol
  8. My little one litre was sounding rather meaty compared to normal, thought it sounded quite good, till I heard rattling! Turns out I need a new exhaust! Anyone know how much it'll cost for a bog standard replacement, can't afford anything more than that right now.
  9. been aggggges since i last posted anything on here, college has been rather time consuming! got myself a new SLR this week, so decided to photograph the car, haven't cleaned it though, so there may be some dirt present in the pictures
  10. It's parked in the staff car park at South Devon College. Always have a quick drool on the way into lessons, but was parked the other way Friday and noticed the club lupo sticker on the back window! I've got the green one always parked in the overflow. lol
  11. Boss' always seem to go back on what they've said. When I was offered the job I was told I'd be on £5.50 p/hour, but when my contract came through it suddenly became £4.70 But I'm not that bothered because it's more than I was paid before and I get to work with one of my really good mates, so I'm never bored!
  12. Is my first payday from my new job today, and was supposed to be getting just under £300 paid into my account. Got my pay slip thing this morning and had been paid a total of £97!!!! That's like a third of what I've worked! My boss is going to be getting a ear full tomorrow! &&& I was going to treat myself to some retail therapy this weeked in Exeter, am having some second thoughts now! Can't believe that kind of thing has happened down here. Luckly no one was hurt other than the bloke himself.
  13. Thanks I'm looking at different wheels, but just annoying that I have a set of alloys with no car and a car with no alloys! Pretty much SODs law! Never know, may find someone who had a Lupo and just bought a 206 willing to do a trade, stranger things have happened!
  14. My brother has a set of 15 inch wheels that came off his 206 he said I could have for my lupo but the only problem is they are 4x108 fitment not 4x100 fitment. Is it possible to get an adapter to allow these to fit my lupo or will it be cheaper just to sell them and buy different wheels?
  15. Didn't know if it was someone from here because I've seen them a couple of times and they've waved.
  16. My friend Emily's parents are going, they live in Cornwall so me and her were going to drive down and meet them there (we're from Devon). I thought it would be cool as the first proper outing for my Lupo and maybe see if there was any other Lupo owners down this way and get some ideas for what I can do for mine now I'm making money. But guess what, the festival's on 23rd-25th May. My driving test isn't until 30th May! I think that's what we call SOD's Law!
  17. The problem is they get stereotyped. I know I do it myself, but that's because, living near Torquay, 90% of the saxos I see are chavved up. If done tastefully, they can look really good, that being a perfect example. Problem is quite a few people opt for the 'halfords ramraid' look instead.
  18. My normal lessons are in a mini hardtop, which have quite good visibility because of all the glass, but my instructor's car was having a fuel pump fitted yesterday, so i had my lesson in the 'standby car'. A mini cabriolet. They have the worse visibility ever! Was too cold to do my lesson with the roof down, so the roof stayed up. With the roof up it's so dark and you can't see anything! Other than whatevers through the piddly little back window about this big, [ ] It was horrible, thank god I wasn't practicing maneuvers in it. My instructor said the test centre has even banned it because the visibility is so bad! Just grateful my mum didn't get one in the end! Right, rant over
  19. did the first mod, if you can really call it that replaced the front indicator bulbs, none of that orange reflection anymore new pics soon
  20. It's quite funny being in my brother's 206 in Torquay. The amount of lads in their chaviots that can't read the GTI 180 badge and get well and truely humiliated at the lights! Although, many chavs just can't read full stop...
  21. I've had many the arguement over 'snot green' comments and a couple of chavs at college "why the f**k did you spray it green?" oh and the old "your exhaust has fallen off" "it's a hidden one" "well i can't see it..." "yeah, that's kind of the point!"
  22. Valentines day was invented purely for florists to make money! Twice the price for roses, just because of the date! ridiculous!
  23. had to put the coaster down, didn't want to mark the paintwork
  24. New Pics Sorry about the bad quality
