Nah - it'd need air-ride for when his youngest swaps sides with him to drive.  :whistle:

My old dear had a lime green Lupo Gti and it was hoot to drive. Mind you she never got out of second gear, dawdling along with her bloody fish on the back...  :sick:

pretty solid apart from the notoriously chocolate gearboxes, although they tend to start whining early on if they're going to give up so easy to spot. the only other things i can remember doing on them is the usual vag stuff.. temp sensors, brake pedal switches, coil packs etc etc. I hate driving them though they feel way too small and i'm not a big bloke!
