It's one of those 1.0 3-pot things for Harry's stepdaughter isn't it? Polo?

No, lupo has already been replaced by an 08 reg 1.4 polo, and neither of them were registered in my name

Jons first guess was reasonably close tbh

Re: Another new car!
Super sleuth jobbo wins.
I have bought the mito off my old dear to use as an everyday runaround.
2012 mito multiair distinctive 135, just under 35k and I really like the spec ( I chose it for her 4 years ago )
She's struggling to post my sisters sprog through the gap into his car seat so has bought a giulietta, I offered to match any trade in offer.
White with heated red leather, black carbon dash and doors, auto climate, rare 3rd rear belt option, xenons, and the best wheels they did on them.

Needs lowered + more boost.
Me and mito boy can be car friends
Luckily being an Alfa I still get the same excitement of wondering if it will start and what will fall off next as I get from my old cars.
Plus I can now call myself a true petrolhead
Cheers, Harry

You must now have more cars than Harry M and his garage
You need a Harry's Yard thread.

Nice spec. They still look good, and I remember how quickly Rev's went round Wales.

I loved that car. Mine had 155ps and the uprated calipers. I still got the pads smoking.Jobbo wrote: Fri Mar 08, 2019 12:07 pm Nice spec. They still look good, and I remember how quickly Rev's went round Wales.

Re: Another new car!
A plug in tuning box will apparently take it to 156ps for under £200, but not sure whether I want to start on that slippery slope.
It feels brisk enough for day to day stuff as it is, my only complaint is it doesn't really sound or feel turbocharged, the only clue that it's a small engine relying on boost is rolling out of a junction from very low speed in second and needing to give the throttle a proper shove to get things moving.
I bought a dumpvalve spacer before buying the car, it's going to need a rear box as the standard one is starting to peel apart so will probably make my own like I did on the compact and reuse the standard oval tip. I'm sure I have a cone filter somewhere I can bodge on to see how that sounds to decide whether it's worth buying something specific.
