Cool What the Fu....

Anyone know of a Black VW. LUPO GTI @ the Edinburgh area.
Was travelling to Grangemouth tonight With wife and bairn, along the 720.
Overtook this Black LUPO .
He decides to follow me I clug it in 5th expecting to see him disappear as a speck. But no.Although I am pulling away Defo not as much as I expected.
Slow down tryagain Same again. 'Twas easier baitin' M3 the other day
That wee begger is a seriously quick Hatch.

If you're on here mate. Cheers for the Thumbs up (Bet you've Scalped a few)

BTW. There's hee haw wrong with my motor and the wifes no that big

You could have just changed down - lol You car probably isn't 'that' fast in 5th gear if a hatch is chasing you in 3rd! Its also not likely going to be a quick as an M3 without megga mods!!

Power-to-weight ratio would be a good bet.

What's the weight difference between a teeny, tiny Lupo and a Type R?

Wasn't shown up Spooks.Was just impressed by a guy that new he had a gearbox it's right what Kenny says Chappy was obviously tryin' hard thru the gears Wheras I was going flat in 5th I could have changed down really(Artistic liscence?)Was probably on 5k at start.
And Was pulling away steadily.
Perhaps I should have invested in an Auto box instead of performance mods

Think, I should go out in the Big world more.
