Stone174: June 2015
http://stone174.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, 18 June 2015. Splitting a holiday in three. Long-time-no-blog. Thought I'd put down a handy tip for touring around a holiday destination without racking up too many miles. You see, in previous years of visiting our beloved southwest, we've stayed in the one location (Trewan Hall campsite) and then dragged ourselves up and down the A30 and A39 visiting our favourite spots. Our first stop will be Dove Meadows. Then a short hop to Menehay Farm. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Vehicle design is a wonde...

thebluelupo: February 2011

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!

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).

Stone174: April 2015
http://stone174.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Monday, 20 April 2015. Regular readers will know that I'm not the most mechanically-minded T5 owner. I will turn my hand to some jobs as you may have already read, but others I prefer to leave in the hands of the professionals. So what happens when a small job presents itself but there isn't enough information available for me to tackle the job? Time to break out the Haynes. Should you fancy getting your hands on the workshop manual, here's a handy link:. Monday, 6 April 2015. For ipad but in the meantim...

Stone174: June 2014
http://stone174.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, 12 June 2014. Another quick visit to MJ interiors to check a sample of the material we've chosen for the centres of the seats. So here's a little indication as to how the trimming will look:. Dark grey Porsche dogtooth pattern fabric flanked by anthracite BMW Nappa leather finished with a cyan blue top stitch. A nod to the old-school without deviating from the OEM theme too much; quality materials, craftsman-quality finish, zero compromise. And that's all I'm giving away. JC Motors - Haworth.
