So I've had my car since September... I'm still a learner but should be passed soon....

Anyways I've been on here for a few months now and think it's about time i put some pics of my car up...

It's a wee Jazz Blue Lupo 1.4 Petrol, 02 plate... so not yet 10 years old yet. One owner since new which wa my aunt so its a hand me down and a better first car than i ever thought i'd have...

I call it Loopy or the Slug (number plate anagram) and also Lewis Hamilton because my friends was called the Shoe... aka Sheumacker so yeah call me weird... but oh yeah pics!!!

My uncle had ordered new visors coz the mirrors in the ones i've got are smashed, unfortunately they don't fit lupo's... they're the wrong code... :/

Dad with his head in the bonnet... just brought it bck after taking it to get the gears looked at (they're stiff again) then the EMC light and the catalyst lights came on... its now away to the Gearbox specialists for them to look at it... won't get it bck for like a week tho... :/

Anyways... here's some pics... :)

I don't think i'll be doing much to it tbh... i have a tight budget and i doubt my parents would approve... :/

Have a look round the member's cars there's plenty of subtle mods you can do & keep an OEM look ;) Or you can always just concentrate on cleaning & polishing & restore him to his former glory :D

Its really neat, have you booked your test yet? Hope you've done your theory because theyve made it much harder now as well.

Yeah passed my Theory in October so just the final hurdle now... :)

So i got a new CD player for the Lup yesterday, its a Sony, will put pics up later (haven't actually taken any yet) Tho it turns out the guy who had the car before me cut a wire when he was installing the cd player the first time (10 years ago) which is why it don't store like radio stations or CD tracks... u have to find them all again when ever u start the car up... anyone know how to fix this? Coz its actual annoying!

If there is clearly a cut wire, re join it, it that doesn't work or you see no wires to rejoin, swap the yellow and red power wires going to the stereo :)
