oh no.. hold on, its a 1l lupo that struggles to reach 70!

My new daily commuter, im done with putting mile son the M3 and these crap roads, not to mention the fuel wasted on the boring trip to work and back!

However, seeing as i have an abundance of BBS wheels at home for the E30 and parts are cheap as chips for it i can see it being a good little project ;-)

Lowering springs to follow, should look good slammed on 15" BBS RZ's from the e30!

It has few dings on it, so i can see me hauling it into the paint booth and giving it a funky re-spray - watch this space!

I like them. :thumbsup

You can pick up the Sport version for not very many pennies. Much cheaper than the GTI and pretty cheap to run.
Will look great when slammed. :)

Good effort - the more cars you have, the more chance one of them will start in the morning, that's what I keep telling myself anyway ;-)

I worked on that principle for a while, until the point I had 4 and none of them started.

If I bought one of those I'd save £1200 per year in petrol costs just on commuting.

I'll bet you don't spend £1200 running that every year. Looks like a hoot! :D

Aye, 3 cylinder turbo diesel, 70odd BHP and bags of torque for a wee car!
