thebluelupo: February 2011
http://thebluelupo.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Because budget motoring doesn't have to be dull. Saturday, 26 February 2011. Plates and surrounds fitted. Cleaner, neater, and legal! The radio issues are now sorted. Following on from the 'why are things never easy? Posts, it seems I was right, it was never going to be an easy fix. As radio reception was fine in Keighley (where the head unit was fitted) but not in Skipton (where we live), it made sense to go to a local specialist rather than back to Halfords. So it was a trip to Car Radio Skipton. Will ...

thebluelupo: What a fun week!
http://thebluelupo.blogspot.com/2011/10/what-fun-week.html
Because budget motoring doesn't have to be dull. Sunday, 16 October 2011. What a fun week! So the Lupo has sold, driven away by new owner George - who's going to put right the last few wrongs with the car. Until the emissions test! The price was reduced on Pistonheads. Cue the vultures who offered stupidly low amounts of cash) and a chance ad on the ClubLupo forums. Where the car sold in a matter of minutes. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

thebluelupo: Down & out
http://thebluelupo.blogspot.com/2011/03/down-out.html
Because budget motoring doesn't have to be dull. Saturday, 5 March 2011. Freshly cleaned after a visit to JC Motors. For the budget lowering - now looking far less like a pensioner's car! Click for big pic. Click for big pic. Aesthetically, the car is much more pleasing to the eye. The handling has sharpened up a touch; less wallow-y in roundabouts. And economically the whole lowering job has come in under £100, which makes me a happy lowered Lupo owner! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

thebluelupo: Spring cleaning
http://thebluelupo.blogspot.com/2011/03/spring-cleaning.html
Because budget motoring doesn't have to be dull. Sunday, 6 March 2011. The first full sunny day of the year - a great chance to give the car a proper clean and get some polish on the paintwork. All-in-all, not in bad nick, if you squint. And yes, my neighbour's think I'm crazy, but I clean under the bonnet too. Do I care? Check out the genuine G60 VW Motorsport badge on the airbox - that must give me another 5bhp right? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). My other project - Stone174.

As radio reception was fine in Keighley (where the head unit was fitted) but not in Skipton (where we live), it made sense to go to a local specialist rather than back to Halfords. So it was a trip to Car Radio Skipton. Head unit out, check for signal booster. Fine.

thebluelupo: August 2011
http://thebluelupo.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Because budget motoring doesn't have to be dull. Thursday, 11 August 2011. So it's time to start looking for the right Caddy to replace the Lupo. Our little faithful friend has been great and to-date hasn't let us down at all, making the journey into Leeds daily, always starting first time and never getting too hot and bothered. My plan is to be totally honest about the car's condition - unlike the previous seller. MOT until 21st Nov 2011. Tax until end of Jan 2012. Priced to sell, a new car is on the way.

Sunday, 26 February 2012. Wheels and tyres are on! The long Winter-wait is at an end; the Helios are finally on. Tyres were sourced from Camskill. Great value for money on brand-name tyres, good stock availability and cheap, quick delivery makes these my first choice every time for buying tyres. But who to fit them? Stuart turned up in his kitted-out Merc Sprinter, fitted a brand new head to his fitting machine and had the four wheels built-up and balanced in no time. For the total sum of £60, a...I'm ab...
