Hello, where to start... Well. My names Jack. I've been in love with VW's since I was about 15 (now 19 nearly 20) but never been interested in the Lupos. Always loved the mk2 Golfs and still do. Been shopping around to get a new car and started widening my choice, I still wanted a Volkswagen tho. Anyway i started looking at Lupos and I've finally decided that i'm getting a Lupo within the next few weeks!! I've been shopping for insurance and manage to find a good quote on a Lupo sport, now just to find the right one!

I know i'm not actually an owner yet but soon to be is good enough right? I came across this forum and just had to be apart of it! I've never had a project before so i need as much help as possible and of course signing up to a forum that specifies in the car i'm getting seemed like a good idea to register. Hopefully you guys can help with me being a newbie and all.. Haven't got much more to say right now apart from that I am excited to get my new car and be apart of this forum.

Thanks for reading. Jack

Sounds a bit like me, never been a massive fan of lupos (until recently, look tiiiiidy with coils and nice alloys) but love vws especially mk2 golfs and vr6s. Wouldn't worry about not owning a lupo, I don't have one atm. I recently joined as i'm searching for one too and no ones told me to f off yet haha. Cya around.

Yeah been searching and started falling for them when I see 'em with coilies, alloys and nice and smooth :)

Oh it's just some old thing that's falling apart, couldn't say no when they said 200 quid for it tho! 1.4 been a nice run around but too much work for me to get it in shape let alone make it my project, want a nice tidy canvas to start with rather than a crumpled kids drawing (which the last owner definitely had, found about 20 crayons under the back seats, along with a Pokemon card which was a bonus) haha

Do you work at Woodgates?
nope! I'm currently a builder working with my dad, most work up in london. Lovely travel every morning in our rather large crafter.

Aye non gti & vr6 mk3s can be picked up for next to nothing, guy at my work got a 1.6 with about 90,000 miles I think for about £400 I think for his gf.

Haha that's awesome you found a pokemon card! Was it an original one or one of the gay new ones? Charizard, Blastoise and Venusaur shinies are worth a fair bit these days btw (I have all 3 still woop :P)

I'm assuming you were born in the late 80s/early 90s? ie the prime age to be when pokemon cards were first released?

Can i please recommend you change yourt username just in case woodgates join. I don't think they are on here.

It's the username I use for everything, my last name is woodgate and people call me woody (even have a tattoo of woody from toy story on my leg) but if I must I guess I will :(

Yeah 200 quid mk3 1.4 80k miles solid just not cared for.

The Pokemon card was original just I think it was a proper poop thing. Don't worry I would know if it was worth something haha

Damn I wish I had them! Wanted make a sticker bomb out of Pokemon cards before (just an idea) lol

93 I was born! I'm not like most people my age tho, I've heard of bands like the specials haha! Would you believe people my age son know who they are.. Or who madness are. My sort of music that. But yeah. I like old school rather than stuff these days, fassion, cars, music. God! I think people might start thinking I love talking about myself soon so I better hush :P haha

Still a decent find though haha.

My parents are into Madness, not so much the Specials though. Plenty folk round about our age though that like older music.

Regards cars though I like cars from all ages (past mk1 golf era) but cars from late 80s and 90s were the best looking though. New cars are too big, round and heavy but they have better engines and equipment etc. For example my perfect golf would be a mk2 shell with r32 conversion (and bbs rs's).

Welcome to the site Jack, good luck with the search.

We hold regular meets at bluewater so get yourself along to those once you've picked up the loop.

Hakan

I see that you did before I joined! looking forward to it. might be longer than I first thought on getting one tho, I was looking at getting a lupo sport but i can get insured on a gti for the same price (£1100) so i'm saving a bit more up now! I don't think that is bad for someone who is 19 no ncb driving about 2 years 8 months... so yeah! might aswell save for the extra thrill. hopefully I don't have to wait too long and I can see you at bluewater sometime. only 45 minutes away, I live in thanet.

Jack
