Ardent Posted December 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 If you can find one to test. I think you will like. Only had mine 2days and chuffed to bits. had been experimenting with 3rd and and 4th. However, took mate out for a demo sunday and floored it in 2nd. Oh my! face is still hurting from the grin.Jayson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any pics ?I've looked through the used section on the VW site and theres not that many around, i think theres one in Coventry that i might try and take a look at though.Im after a `6-speed` one with a CD player, prices seem to be about £10k!Where abouts in Leicester are you ?

Ardent Posted December 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 BAJGlad you enjoyed it. Where in lecky are you? If your anywhere near me, No do not buy it. If you are miles and miles away then yeah do it. After been looking for a year, never seen one on the road my neck of the woods. Having had mine two weeks do not want someone loosening my grip on the exclusivity crown already.Joking aside. If you can make the numbes stack up and you do not need anything that is practical, just something to be seen in and enjoyed for motoring pleasure. GO GO GO.What colour and exrtra toys,Discovered today you can drop from 6th to 3rd at 60 brings you nicly into the zone for some front end power lifting antics.Jayson Just Luv`n it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baj Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Haha style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />I live in Hinckley so not much chances of seeing you about, i do work in the center of Leicester though style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />The one i drove was silver, 6 speed, with cd player .... just what i was after. Its a 51 plate with 24k miles .... asking price is £9995 which is a touch over what i think it should be, but i guess thats VW fourcourt for you.Im going back tomorrow to hopefully sneak a longer test drive and have a proper look over it ... if he can shave some off the asking price then it might just have itself a new owner style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />Interestingly im a big clio fan, i currently drive a 1.4 16v 03 plate ... today i also went out in a 172 Cup to compare (similar price). Although the Cup is the car i've wanted for a some time now and yeah sure it has more direct raw power than the GTI, it just didnt feel as fun and chuckable as the old lupo ??? ahh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardent Posted December 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 BajIf you get one will have to have a meet. My partner is from desford, so I am often around that sort of area.
