Petrified Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 (edited) Lupo. Polo. New Mk1 Golf. Same dash throughout.Yeah, I'm guessing it was either a polo dash or more likely a mk1 golf dash being in SA. if it was a gti wouldn't it have a shiny black lip to it?never nice to see pics of something like that, especially when you go to the effort, and expense of trying to make what was probably a much respected and truly awesome car! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />i think the guy behind him is going to get £200 or 2000 rand? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> Edited March 26, 2006 by Petrified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 If you mean the Citi Golf, that has a different dash.http://www.vw.co.za/models/view360.jsp?mod...6&view=interior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweZooT Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I've seen quite a few crashes during my time at the tracks all over europe, and all i can say is that the biggest crashes always happen over the line, and the biggest bangs on the top half of the track.. Gets me thinking, he lost it over the line, did the rear become loose or was a mechanical failure? Still, looking at the pictures i see a couple of guys from safety safari, thats why i always say 'keep it at the tracks',an accident always happen, sooner or later. I hope he gives it another go though, if he needs someone to motivate him gimme a call during FIA main event this mid may.. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
