MartyP Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Hello everyone!Just thought i'd leave a quick post saying i'm loving the website and your cars make want to cry ( in the best way possible )I myself sadly.... drive french. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> I know and i know... i'm not the proudest motorist ever.And it gets even worse! I drive a Saxo VTR... and no i don't wear burberry!So please be gentle since i'm a fragile french car owner!PS - in the search for a lupo so where do i start?1.4 16v has caught my eye?

Tigz™ Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I like the VTR in standard form, silly little pedals ruled it out for me.Nice pic by the way.Ref the Lupo take a test drive before you buy, I found the 1.4 a little gutless low down although higher in the rev range theres a nice improvement.Although I would think there would not be much in it, I would say the Saxo feels faster.Afford a GTI?Oh and welcome.

MartyP Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I've had the saxo for about a year now and it has been working very well for a french car..Sadly the last owner has added a stupidly oversized exhaust ( which is getting removed thankfully )Otherwise all i've done is lower it 45mm and added some lower profile 205 GTI wheels.Only for the reason that i love a car that can take a corner!Hence: Before my saxo i regretably had to sell my mini 1.3i.. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" />Limited edition Alpha green..Matching leather interior style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /> I like small cars what can i say!! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Well i would love a GTI but i don't really know if i can get money like that together (student loans dont support the lupo GTI style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

db Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Welcome, that's a nice mini you had there. A sport is a good buy, if you know how to drive them they can keep up with most cars around. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
