Mitch's Lupo is no more!

Post by Si_GTi »

Just heard from the forums that Mitch's Lupo is no more :(

:shock:

Bad luck indeed! Some of you may have seen it at E38 in all it's glory, one of the top 3 cars there surely, and by far best Lupo:

Gutted :o

I was just about to post the same thing, just read it Si (on Club Polo though) :cry:

E38 was the only place I've ever seen it but it was a mint car.

This sounds promising though
Car will be back, bigger and better than before.

mitch was shopping at the metrocentre when it came over the tannoy system to return to his car " like now"
he got back to the car and the fire brigade had been put it out and gone, looks like some sort off electrical fire in the engine bay,

i seen it today and i am gutted for him cos he was well happy with his cracking little car

i am gonna be trying to get him talked round to a 1.8t conversion tho so it aint all bad :twisted:
