MartyP Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 (edited) Coming onto the M5 off the M50i spotted a silver lupo so i followed it,Word of warning matey if you are on here.. don't slam your brakes on like that when in the fast lane for f*ck sake.I ended up locking my brakes and swerving sideways into two lanes to avoiding hitting you....Ended up stalling whilst blocking two lines of traffic :s Edited December 14, 2007 by MartyP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 brakes in general. actually that's wrong as mine aren't too bad, the only time they aren't as great as they should be is mostly my fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toot Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Why did you decide to follow it? Sounds a bit weird to me! There are plenty of Lupos about, do you follow them all?And I thought us beetle drivers were weird waving at each other! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L119 UPO Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Never found a problem with my GTI brakes, they work as well as i would expect them to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris260 Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I think he means he swerved so he didn't go into the back of the other car, i know this experience from daily driving the mk1. 1.0 brakes will be like F1 brakes compared to a mk1!!

cardaft Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Isnt the pea a 1.4? Still though they have the same brakes as a 1.0 lupo i think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 the pea is indeed a 1.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyP Posted December 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 (edited) I didn't follow i just found him in front of me suddenly after the car in front pulled into the middle lane. Wheels are coming off tomorrow to have a look, the car completely lost control..I kept good distance between us and still missed him by a few meters, I guess luckily i used my hand brake in the last second to swerve the car out of the way.
