  1. That VR6 engine is an absolute peach! The noise is to die for
  2. doesn't hide on the underside of the bootlid shut area does it.. if that makes sense. I can't check on my Rado as its in another Country to me at the moment....
  3. errr, mine comes up at 130kph, cant you start by getting a LHD module that is setup already? or am i being stoopid?
  4. Hmmm, a few teething problems keeping things cool then.... http://www.leftlanenews.com/audi-r8-v10-future.html

    what mpg?

    must have lead in your boots mate... my VR gets about that....
  6. sobering images.... although not many cars are going to cope in a head on with a lorry, the Fox has a 4 star NCAP rating... A Friends Mum just bought a Fox, don't think I will forward this on to him... :?
  7. remember seeing a thread on good/bad vw dealers but cant remember which forum that was.. google hasn't found it for me either.. Usually go to whites in camberley, been pretty helpful, unless its saturday and they are about to close, but sort of to be expected in a way... dealership in reading been average for me, had a massive mixup with parts a while back when I had a mk2 golf which took about 3 visits to sort out, car being in pieces on the drive for a few days wasn't ideal, don't know their name, but its the one near the Madejski stadium
  8. If you need photo evidence of why to buy, I could supply a pic with both indicators and fogs cracked. :(
  9. I've got a year working visa for Canada and will be going in April.. Don't want to sell the Corrado because A im way too attached to the thing at the moment and B i'll only spend the money, when i don't think I need to... Also its a LHD, so if I settle there, which I doubt right now, I could get it shipped out there... Got two options: leave it in garage at my parents house for a year, or trust in a friend and let him keep it under cover on his drive in the week and drive (mainly to his lockup in essex to work on a camper, proving love of vws?!) at the weekends... Obviously the store in folks garage option is preferable but will keeping the car under cover do that much to it rust and engine wise? always thought it wasn't great to leave cars and not drive them... the main thing I would like to know is what would have to be done to it if it was left in a garage for that time? i.e brake pads out, disconnect battery etc. i assume...
  10. its alright it's been posted on vwvortex too: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3105304
  11. yup, going to send them all a cowboy hat i think, also probably the most unhelpful company when you phone...
  12. biggest grip on mine is balljoints that are made of cheese, pulled to the left when I bought it, replaced balljoints from gsf and this was fixed, one year down the line the problem has started to come back....
  13. Sweet, you have the best colour the Corrado came in... and a nice dub history too... the 'thing' (trekker) looks awesome...
  14. Hehe, sweet, that cab looks mint.... should have had a quick check on condition of your interior before you sold the C, ;) could have swapped my driver seat for your passenger... ah well....
  15. i'm not 100% convinced... On the front, the bottom of the front grille looks a little different, but thats all.. the mirrors are a little different, different wheels.. and from the pics im not sure the spolier isn't there, just the fluro lighting hiding it??? could it be just one of the later prototypes made before the release thats on show... still, intriguing...
  16. mental, love it... quite like speedlines on Lupo...
  17. Can't see myself not wanting one at the moment. In fact looking to go to Canada for a year and trying to get somewhere to store it while i'm away...
  18. 200 ciggies and a working lighter?!? standard ford type price :D seriously though, good luck with it, looks like you'll be quite proficient at rust repair after this....
  19. the saga attempts to continue.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/nissan-skyline-drift-car_W0QQitemZ270091224738QQihZ017QQcategoryZ18238QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item270091224738
  20. what's coconuts got to do with anything?? :lol: apparently they migrate.. Thats fricking dirty, makes you want to start etching the reg or something into every component on the car when this happens...
  21. I take it the note states that you will be getting a quote for repairs and forwarding these onto them?? might make them a little more careful.

  23. http://www.projectkahn.com/ (click synth logo thing top right to turn off the sales poo) interesting, call themselves an automotive fashion house,... cars look pretty sweet though
  24. you want helicopter tape... first link I found related to cars, (dunno what they are like...) http://www.invincashield.co.uk/index_en.htm
  25. cool, now know my first car died around 15/04/1998 wait, none of the cars I have owned are (well taxed) on the road anymore, all 10 of em...
