jon_273 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 That's Helens old one. She came to a few old school Club Lupo drives out in it. Nice to see it's still in good condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_273 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 The pics I have were taken in 2008 so it was around that time. Lived over Cumbria way, Appleby I think. A few of us from the North East used to get together and go for drives out. There are some cracking roads around the Dales.Pictrured below with my TDI and Simpo's 16v sport:Where are you from?
