AndyW Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 I can't keep a lid on it anymore, I'm fit to burst. The desire to follow the Club Lupo trend got too high and about a month ago I started looking for a VX. It took me two weeks of intensive talks (with Sarah, not the dealer) but finally I managed to get her to agree. Found quite a few cars in the dealer system, but none in Marseille, so have put down a deposit on a blue one, its practically in bloody England its that far from here, up in the Department 67 (Marseille is Department 13) near Strasbourg.So haven't seen it yet, so I may not do the deal, and can get my deposit back if its not upto par. Anyway, so, rather excited. Once we go back to England the Lupo will become Sarahs car (Fabia vRS plans on hold for now!) and I'll use the Vauxhall, sorry, Opel. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" />Oh, and its a 2003 car, with an alarm and that slightly odd looking silver hard top, which I might sell, not sure. And I now have to treat Sarah like a princess as about 2/3rds of the funds for this car came out of our house savings. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />Sorry chaps, I couldn't resist one, I was after an S1 Elise and going to wait till we moved back to the UK, but I got itchy car syndrome, oh and everyone knows after a Lupo GTi the VX is the only upgrade path. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />Off on the TGV this time next week!

stevewp Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 I think the main hole in the joke is that it's a left hooker, and seeing as you're coming back to Blighty, you'd want a RHD.Nice try Andy style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevewp Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 He he he - like that Lotus pick-up idea.

GTi T Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 On a more serious note, when i do sell the Lupo i definately won't be getting a VX style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyW Posted April 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 On another serious note, I have actually talked myself into this being a good idea.

AndyW Posted April 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Its not a bad deal, 14,000km on the clock, 17,000 Euros. Not bad I thought, although yes, the LHD might be annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
