haha, popped down to pub today, parked rado next to mate joe's clio 172 cup that he'd spent the morning cleaning, (haven't cleaned the rado for about a week.) had three seperate incidents of friends coming over to join us and saying, "Corrado's looking really nice mate"... great, pissed off look on Joes face...!

super plush mate, still up for swapping drivers seats ;) your headrests look inslightly better nick than mine too, so could we swap them? car looking sweeter by the day.... think I might also copy what you did with the number plates...

if I was an insurance company i'd call it a technical write off!? going to cost too much to put 'right' put the web page through babelfish: http://babelfish.altavista.com/ some interesting translations... e.g: I adore ventilation dimensioned fires....??!

having to use a grabber to get tickets from machine to get into car parks... (lhd) And why the hell are the fog light and indicator lenses made of something resembling glass but with the strength of porcelain? all of them have now cracked...

hehe. I know of one person who owns a Calibra, and they have their first name tattoed on their chest.... says it all really....

oooh, black cab, the driving position on those things is torture... good luck... ;) Going there in a friends Clio 172 Cup...

fitted Lupo wipers... and just as I was closing the bonnet, it started raining... they work really well.. Cool. :D

got there in the end, new mini did me, put in rover, bmw, for make and couldnt think what else it could be... :D

So that'll be the first (and probaly last) time shes driven a lefty....

yep, bottom of this page: http://website.lineone.net/~dr.dub/mk1ext.htm is exactly the car, minus the five tons of bird crap, dirt, rust etc....

Been looking around on web and now certain its a storm... have to have a very good look underneath i think.... Quote from VW Vortex on mk1 sciroccos: "If they are exposed to moisture they will rust like a mofo."

Noticed a Mk1 Scirocco rotting away near me and went and had a proper look today, although the owner wasnt in, I put a note through their door... Think I might have found a mk1 Scirocco Storm, the badges are missing from the rear but its in a metallic brown with tan leather interior and a plastic sort of splitter on the front. the rust looks like it might have gotten quite a hold, but if the chassis is sound looking might try and buy it with view to restoring... Was looking for more info i.e. History of them, are they rare (consider a Mk1 sicrocco rare anyway tbh) What they are worth, where to look to know whether the rust has eaten too far, what they are like for spares etc. etc.. any Rocco bods out there???? :)

anyone else have a gripe with kids in towns, especially in areas with speedhumps, just crossing the road without looking out from under their hoods, and making traffic stop, or maybe they are just really hard in my town.... and they wonder why teenagers are statistically most likely to get runover....

think a lot of what we hate will be summed up here... http://www.howmotorwayswork.co.uk/ might get a sign with that link on to hold up to those who love the middle lane....

BA****DS... may need to add a 'How to electrify the body of your car' in the wiki at this rate....

G40's are sweet, rapid and underated IMO... I really was set on getting one a few years back but ended upsaving dough and going for a mk2 golf gti... I remember reading lots about them having very poor brakes (same as all polo's of the time i think)... oh and supercharger wasn't down as the most reliable, but all G-laders are the same, just get it serviced, should be cool....

Who's got £5000 to get their car washed....? http://www.wimp.com/expensivecar/

still looking sweet, all that is left is the splitter really... Did you get anywhere with sorting out the little fuelling issues??

only problem when you shrink cars, if you get a stonechip on the bonnet it is always so much bigger...

got maltese cross wingmirrors hasn't it? is that a motorbike twist grip in usual mirror mount to open the door???

Bought the wrong 'O' i think...

A friend at work is looking for a new car, got £12K absolute max to spend and was hoping on a mk4 r32 if the prices came down on release of the mk5, but the mk4 seems to have clung on to an £18K price tag on good mileage... thought id post up here for him, see what you guys would get as an alternative... main requirements are: pretty rapid, room in the boot for a large dog, and a pretty low mileage for the money... ideas please! cheers!

lovely, really nice...but a no on the doors.... ever seen these doors at a show?, bounce in a flimsy looking way and never look right IMO.... suicide doors not been done???!!!

new game is to keep nearly all things french on the seriously uncool side where they belong :lol:

That is a gorgeous noise.... kicking out some power there... got any ideas on the spec of this?
