Jowey Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 This is a real shame, always loved this as I've got a soft spot for mk1s.Whats the plan next Jowey?Thank you mate.I too have a massive soft spot for MK1's I fancy a TDI next..fit cruise control and leather nice big static drop and carry on as I was.Eyyy? How come Jowey? Never seen the interior before, noice noice GLWSSport engine is a total blast around town and B-roads but doesn't really suit my (grandad)driving style and is useless on the motorway everything I want to do to the car is going to be a nightmare to do while it's on the road. SO I'll be buying a piece of junk banger to get my to work and back and take my time searching out a good TDI and then keep it off the road while I sort out everything I want to do various notches and modifying the inner arches etc. Your goign to a bad place for doing this Jowey!!I'd have her off your hands, if it wernt for already having plans for my next car I'm going to a better place James you know you want Diego Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XConsidering how much you bought your sport for Ben you're not really in a position to complain, £800 iirc. As for the car, must admit I do quite like this, easily my favourite mk1 think the orange indicators and cambridge lights look lush. I'm surprised that you're selling it though, doesn't seem quite finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jowey Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Paint finish, 6 disc changer and remote central locking were expensive optional extras from new.Most Lupo sports dont even have them let alone a MK1 Arosa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
