cheeky sod

Yeah tell me about it, but hopefully I'll be able to argue them round and get them to cough up for repairs. If there is anything mechanical that needs fixing, I'll try and get them to leave it and I'll do it myself. The panel from Crazymarcel should also help a fair bit. We shall see though, it's just a case of waiting it out now.

So the car went in to get the official insurance quote at P&R today and the guy there was the most miserable sod on the face of the planet and generally not very helpful as far as write off/being ok went. But it sounds like they do a good job, so hopefully the work will be ok if/when they do it. I've now got to wait for elephant to get back in touch with me and give me the verdict. If I haven't heard anything by Friday, I'll call them.

Nice one guys, sounds like tonights mission. A price list would be good too, it lessens the number of sharp intakes of breath while on the phone to VAG. And also provides some good comedy :lol:
-
More to the point, I want to know how (s?)he got it in that field in the first place. Even more, if/how they got it out again!
-
So you know, the lights on buzzer how-to from the CCGB website is here - http://www.corradoclub.co.uk/Tech%20fil ... buzzer.pdf
-
:lol: nah, you want a bad ass headlight conversion with some sticky back plastic and 2 holes cut in it 8) I *meant* that it makes the Corrado parts look cheap
-
My VR? It's either that or crappy radio via the VW head unit, or find someone with a tape... not entirely sure what they look like any more though :lol: When the car's fixed a nice headunit and a MP3 player will be going in, so then I can listen to anything from St. Germain to Rage Against the Machine :D
-
Makes the Corrado look cheap :)

It's nice being able to go "hmm I could overtake here... yup I could definitely overtake here, yeah I think I will overtake here" and still have oodles of room :)
-
Yeah tell me about it, I've not had a lot of spare time either, but as and when is good. When I get a chance I'll get that login system working on the site so people can add their own articles, which should make life easier.
-
If you can help it'd be grand... at the moment it's more a case of digging them out of the archives on here and collating them on the new site. I know of some that I've seen and I can have a rummage for, but I'm sure you know of some too. Don't worry mate, adding articles is like posting on here, you don't have to go near any PHP at all ;)
-
Reasonably priced doesn't seem to bother him that much ;) I'm sure you could get them off a scrapper for not tooo much money. You may even be able to get some pattern ones from GSF? Edit: bugger me £98.75 + VAT from GSF...EACH!
-
When has going off topic ever stopped you before Kev? :D But yes, welcome to VR ownership Fairzy, if you don't cackle like a child when the revs go over 3.5k you need to see a doctor ;)
-
Most importantly - RE720 booted VR I reckon it was actually wheelspin as I left the roundabout, turned more, lifted off, front bit, hit tree. The back is soggier than a grannies arse, so I don't suppose there was much rear wheel steer going on. When it's fixed I think Haywire engineering need to take it for a spin (not literally) and see what they think? :D
-
Hey just cos it's not the *official* CCGB site doesn't mean we're not a club :) If ya like a lotta chocolate on yer biscuit...
-
Welcome to the club! Just make sure you watch out for wheelspin in the wet :oops:
-
Got the other pics to put up? Some of em are quite crucial as a few of the screws etc are hidden. Don't worry I won't leave them out I only allowed for 10 pics per article originally, so I need to add in some extra fields to the database first.
-
't has been added, let me know when you get pics and I'll put them on there too. I've also added stevemac's guide to replacing the actual lock barrel... and who was it that posted the hotwire guide the other week? With pics of the little loom you can make up to start the car in an emergency? That could be useful too
-
Ah good poing, I get used to my laptop running 1400x1050 I'll have a tinker with the layout in a bit. When it's finished (structurally) I'll get in touch and see about moving it to the-corrado.net. It still needs... A search function A flag for which models the article applies to Admin logins so people can add/edit their own articles (but not change other people's!) I'm currently putting kevhaywire's seat bolster how-to up
-
Well I didn't have much to do at work today, so the how-to website has taken a good few steps forward and I've managed to add a few more how-to guides. The articles now have pretty pictures in them and the contact page works as well. So people of the forum - send me your how-to's :D
-
Obviously the patch lead to my completely legal dongle that I coughed up lots of money for and in no way related to any illegal software piracy *cough*.
-
Thought you might ;) You needed some more comedy in your life! :lol:

Supercharged, indeed he does, I think it arrived yesterday ;)
