why send a link that doesn't have a complete car in it I'm now really eager to see it going super fast!

Nice car. I learnt to drive in a 1.0l Seat Arosa. Looking back, it was quite a fun little thing and was well, pretty much a go-kart.

lol likewise, its ab absolutely incredible car. I hope he manages to finance bringing it to the UK for one of the shows this year, it will be worth me making the just to see that car alone!
ps. Love lupos, I wish they hadn't stopped building them for that "fox" abomination.

Lovely like these a lot. All gti's came with xenons as standard i think. Enjoy mate
Don't see any reason not to like these if you mostly commute in a busy town and don't see much motorway action. Pretty economical, nice amount of power, nice enough build quality and small.
And they hold their badge well - anyone who doesnt see the merit of them is just being difficult.

I like these, I bet they're a good fun little car. But, for the money not sure I could do it. Should hold it's value pretty well though
Nice little cars, I really like these
[penski mode] Now slam it on some 8x15 Ronal Turbos with stretched rubber [/penski mode]
you forgot to mention the standard bike carbs and management he comes out with

some cars make you grin ear to ear driving them, i'd imagine thats one of them... nice car man!
turbo idea sounds insane, but now you'll always be wanting more.. 190bhp in that would be madness but funny as hell.

But he'd be right, this car needs to be slammed on some 8x15 Ronal Turbos with stretched rubber

Just found this in my pictures from Tatton Park a few years ago, 1.8T beast. Power of the thing was ridiculous.

my afore mentioned mate with a lupo GTI is well into the club scene, and appaerntly the 1.8T 180bhp VAG unit is quite a popular conversion. Given that these can be re-mapped to 205 ish bhp with no other modifications it makes them a serious proposition.
All the power of a Golf GTI, in the size of a lupo . eek!
