it really makes a lot of sence nxt yr when ive done with my tow car, £20 tax 76mpg £120 a mth £230 insurance as a daily drive to get to work and keep the crap off the mini its hard to beat! plus its small! mini sized even! lol

I dont think the owners of Ups are into that

Leroy could be though!!!

Up moddingg has Already begun! Njump on over to club lupo to look... Micro vags are huge on the modified scene.

Fox modding never took off, there are a few, but not alot. Arosa's (which I've got) and lupos just kept going strong. The problem was nobody liked the Fox much. But the up! Is a different story, small quirky and will look cracking with mods

I'm going for an Audi next.

Best cars IMO, ooze quality. Drove an A3 S-line to Wolverhampton for work and it was

My Dad's got one and being a passanger is good enough, but driving one is just mega

Yeah, it'll be between A3 sportback in white or an A4 B8. Girlfriend says the A3, but I prefer the A4 slightly more. Although I think the A3 would be more suitable to be honest, I don't know...

I was originally going for an astra GTC, but like you said, Audi best cars and I've always liked them, so it makes sense

Im not keen on the sportsback... the extra doors just look odd and plus you have to have the odd rear lights with the 5 door.
I got a 55 plate, face lifted A3 with the leather interior... basicly S-line spec but for less and without the imbossing on the seats.
2.0 140bhp version 6 speed box very comfortable and got 65mpg on a trip. They respond very well to being remapped too which is on my to-do list

Heres one we did earlier!

Ignore the blotted phone numbers and dont bother trying the web addresses, I closed the company down in the recession, we still have the truck though.



Before the restoration.





Here is why we had it!

Saw yours earlier in the thread, looks nice!

I'd like to think I'd get about 8k for my VXR then put a few grand on top and that'll get me a decent Audi. I was watching a lovely 2008 A4 s line. Was only 12k, now 12k is still a lot of money, but a lot of car for your money I reckon, looked awesome in red. Had 80,000 miles though. Audi's are strong, dad had an 1999 A4 and it had 214,000 miles on it and still drove spot on. 80,000 on an 08 is a fair bit though isn't it?...

[mini93]

Id look to find lowest miles you can obviously
the A3 for a 55 plate (7 years old) had 70k's on which i thought was pretty good
I bought it for 7 grand and its pretty perfect, previous owner clearly cared for it quite alot so if you shop around you can find some for sensable money.
I do quite like the A4 but I just dont need anything as big as that, especialy for daily use, i found it difficult enough parking swapping from the peugeot 106 i had before to this

[leroy26]

just found a four seater smaller than a mini!!!! its 9ft 7 -- the toyota iq! £135 amth and no road tax- ever!! 998 cc as well lmao ( loose a cylinder over ta mini tho)

[Chance]

I'm not an IQ fan

They look too square to me, if it was slightly longer would be OK

i'm not sure on those drop plates on the tow bar yoda..........

Muchos prefer the Sportback to be honest, I think the three doors can look a bit strange, but it'd be a boring place if we all liked the same things

Dad'd planning a Stage 2 Remap and DPF removal on his S-line 170 TDI, it'll knock it up to 225bhp . It shiifts now, it'll be downright rude when that's done .

That was done to find the correct height before fabricating a proper towbar, i have no pics of the final build of the truck but i assure you, this was just for sizing LOL

[zinzan]

Looks like this pretty much November-April annually. There's a Honda Pilot SUV under there.

[Chance]
