I've came to my senses.

It's staying. Comes off the road September 4th to be stripped. I'm redoing the entire car.

Big plans for it, more clean OEM goodness....

I'm still in love with it, and after much umm'ing and ahh'ing, and a fair bit of "you must be mental", "are you mad" and general abuse, it's staying.

Smoothed front is staying, but will be going back too grey for the poverty look.

Jap style elements will be getting in the mix this time, nothing stupid just little details

Ghetto is also staying, but a wheel change is on the horizon....

More details soon!

Going to miss this one, but excited to see what you have in store for the gti

Likewise dude, has been an awesome little car and will be very sad to move on. Hopefully the GTI will come on in leaps and bounds!

Ok, so seeing as Photobucket are dicks and have decided to take away my 3rd party hosting unless i pay them i'm going to quickly remind everyone what i've done with little JDO, and to those who haven't seen it what it's all about.

Bought my first (and current) car on June 4th 2014. a little 1.0 8v 50bhp Lupo SE

Added "lows" and some Lenso BBS RM Reps

Then added AP coilovers

Binned off the reps, took the rear adjusters out, added a roof rack

Then added Speedline marracana turbines too the mix

Which is how it sits now. And i'm very sad to say, i'm now selling. I'm running it up until Edition 38, after that, i'll be breaking the little shed. Has been a very hard decision to make, but with the GTI of mine now becoming my main focus, i want to put time and money into that, as well as that, i'm also struggling to run 2 cars. One needs to go.

It's done me very well in this time though, 38,000 miles in it and still counting! Engine needs a top end rebuild as i've also dropped a valve on cylinder 2... But i'll have it all back in shaoe very soon.

It's going, but i'm not done with it yet....

So this weekend was Players Classic, drove down to Portsmouth on the friday night to stay over, so me Aaron and Kez went out to get some photo's... After getting into an abandoned building, then legging it from police after realising we were being watched we decided it owuld be best to go and get some photo's where we are actually allowed too lol...



HMS Victory.

Up and out the next morning by 6:30, got to Goodwood for about 7:30, plonked the cars down and went to enjoy the show. Got myself a tidy spot in the end!







By 4, the show was over, so seeing as it was still early and we didn't feel like sitting in traffic for 4 hours, we went down to the beach for 3 hours instead. What a way to end an awesome show.

[Deaky97]

Ayyyy thanks for picking up a large banner! pretty sure you got the last large white one

You look after me don't you kid

[Deaky97]

Love the font of the Banner!

So did you buy a 1.4 lump? Interesting, maybe I have some question for you...

Cheers man! And i have indeed, i still need to pick it up but it's a 1.4 16v 100bhp lump... will make this car a bit more interesting
