2001gti Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 I have no idea why I still log on to be honest, I think i just feel committed to the '3 word story' thread. Any of the old gang still pop in? Those from the golden days of 2007-2010? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 Yeah, we do have the "original" rogue team member log in occasionally. Huge respect to the original Lupo force. The club wouldn't be the same today without you 'founders'. 👍🏻 Some come back to see if they can find either their old car or even try and find a good new one as they miss them. Still very much sought after, with some resorting to buying Jap imports, which are often near mint. But like you, most have moved on to bigger pastures, 4 door things for families... Nice to see you back, but I joined after you'd already left. Like 3rd or 4th hand cars! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigcraft Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 Well… I’ve been around from 2008 but never needed the group much then until more recently the last few years…. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 I've been here since 2004, so I guess I could be considered 'old gang', but I never really got into the whole group thing unless I met some at a show or something like that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt mind another but the prices are creeping up though. This place was like the wild west back in those days, I remember crying at some of the threads and arguments that happened on here. I was young at the time, and wasn't quite in the 'Clique' but everybody was lovely when we'd meet at the car shows. and we're heading on 18yrs ago now...

mk2 Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 And many of the original crew now have their kids in secondary school... Not long till they'll be learning to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have a handful of people on instagram. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigcraft Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 We’re now entering a period where all the Lupo’s and arosas are pretty much quarter of a century old and really this place on here should be buzzing with maintenance, rebuilds and restoration more so than accessories and stuff that was chatted about when new. There is one thing said for the older members on here is that there’s a very good database of ‘how to fix things’ done by them. That to me is with more than social media groups. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
