Juice Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Hello!I'm from Finland and Lupo's were never exported here (Polo is smallest that we got!). I have been VW-fanatic since day one and I also work in local VW/Audi dealer. I went last april to Germany to buy my next "exotic" VW, a black 1.4 TDI with almost every extras (AC, ragtop, heated sportseats etc.)Other pictures (new and old) from my Lupo can be found here: http://www.juice.1g.fi/kuvat/Lupo/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Wow! Love this pic. Car looks pretty spot on, though I wouldn't recommend using the air con with the roof open as it'll overwork the system.Welcome to ClubLupo!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfbr Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 (edited) Fantastic looking car there! Wow! Love this pic. Car looks pretty spot on, though I wouldn't recommend using the air con with the roof open as it'll overwork the system.Welcome to ClubLupo!!The aircon system being pump driven will only work to the same capacity no matter what the situation, weather it is freezing cold outside, red hot outside, windows up or windows down. It doesn't even matter weather you've got the heat setting to cold or warm, the aircon pump will ALWAYS work within its pre-set limits. It is not regulated and the pump is belt driven.In a car it works in a totally different way to your refrigerator at home. You Physically can't overwork an aircon system. The only reason not to use aircon when the roof is open is so you're not raping the car of fuel. Edited July 5, 2009 by nfbr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is under 30 Lupo's in Finland. But your car would be the first RHD Lupo in the country I always wondered where the extra buttons whould go if you had open air and heated seats on a car with electric mirrors.Did you fit the cruise control yourself?Sometimes it annoyes me that I have only one cup holder I installed the cruise control myself with little help from this forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juice Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Well next time i'm there i will keep my eyes peeled for some. None of my family who live in Finland even know what a Lupo is lolRarely seen here! Around here where I live (Turku), I have seen 3 others: one silver rag top, one black GTI and white 1.0 College. Usually there is 1-2 Lupos for sale in Finnish car sale website: http://www.nettiauto.com/volkswagen/lupo/?id_vehicle_type=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juice Posted July 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Tervetuloa, onko lupo ja myynnissa suomessa?That is actually perfect, there is only 2 "wee" errors: Tervetuloa, onko lupoja myynnissä suomessa? And my answer to that question is: www.nettiauto.com:sta löytyy yleensä 1-2 Lupoa I installed today OEM GTI aero-wipers and a holder for sunglasses I also finally got the licenceplates. I'll might take new photos and make new topic to the "members rides"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
