NEW CAR
« on: 20 July 2007, 23:49 »
Getting a Lupo GTI tomorrow - 54 plate, 1 owner, silver, 26k miles, only one in the country with climate control... its for the wife of course  :evil: :evil: :evil:  But she's going to Jordan for a year in 4 weeks time  :grin: :grin: :grin:  so i'll have to keep it running on occasion.  I'm sure it'll look nice next to the Edition 30 arriving in October.  Pics soon.

Sounds a nice car Illyum, but begs the question why, if she's of for a year, have you bought her a car :smiley:

6 speed gearbox
125bhp
weighs less than a tonne
Aluminium wing for better weight distribution
Twin centre exhaust
0-60 in less than 8 secs

And I can say from experience that it goes like stink and handles brilliantly. :wink:
