Hi guys. Just had my insurance renewal through the post - £631.05 to insure my 2ltr 8 valve M-plated silver Corrado with a scorpion exhaust and I am 26 years old ! That’s serious money – At this point in time who is the cheapest Corrado insurer out there anyone know ?? And who’s yours with, what you got and how much is it ? Cheers guys Ryan

I looked on ebay - there is one that finishes in 6 days time but my problem is that I cant switch my lights off - they are stuck on ! In 6 days my battery will be flat !!!! :lol: I have ordered it now from VW, I did ask if it was the standard plastic one or the solid platinum upgraded version - but its the standard one.
-
£60 for a headlight switch - wow ! :(
-
I have a Tesco credit card, if I spend 2 pounds at Tesco I get 3 points on my clubcard. Between the Corrado and my girlies car petrol makes up quite a lump of money at the end of the month so I’m Tesco all the way. Never had a problem, other then I cant keep up with other Corrados – maybe it dissolved my other 8 valves !!!
-
Thats why I took the Discovery - much better dogging potential than the Corrado !!!!
-
I was in Hollands Wood camp site over in the middle of the New Forest over this bank holiday weekend having a well earned break. 3 Corrado’s parked in there !!!!! K plate Silver 16valver – nice wheels ! Dragon Green 16 valver – L plate I think. Purple VR6 – M-plate I think. Any takers ????? And to think I was in a clapped out blue discovery, my lady couldn’t believe I got that excited!
-
Even in a scrap yard the Corrado is still shiny!

Yesterday at Chalk Springs Fishery in Arundel - blue 16valve - I Parked next to you then walked roud the lakes checking it out - anyone one on here? Also, got overtaken by a red on near chichester (i was in trafic), again yesterday - any takers - you saw me I think . Someones got to spot me !!!!!
-

If any of you VR6 owners are really worried, I will swag you my 8 Valver. I can easily get 45 on my way to work and if im in granny mode can get late 50's on the MFA - now thats impressive !!!! :D
-
That was yesterday (Thursday) by the way !

Black VR6 parked very close to my C in Waterfront car park, Eastbourne – nice surprise after work . Not sure what time you came or went but I saw you at about 5ish. Any one on here ?

whats the most you have paid on your insurance premium?

I think I have had my fair share of being stung...... 320 E reg BM when I was 18 @ £1200. 1.6 Vectra P reg when I was 23 @ £540 (horrible, why did i buy it again?). 2.5 24V6Mitsubishi Gallant @ £750 (seriously quick) 2ltr 8 Valve Corrado @ £500 (best car to drive) The worst bit is if you add up for every year that you have been driving - thats a shocker! -
ooooh this could be the same lady in white that blew me away at the lights in E/bourne.....no not like that..... :D

thanks, will have a lok now.

Where do i see biggerbigsens gallery - sorry !

Does anyone know if the 2 use the same back box? I cant seem to find a back box, either a standard one or a sporty alternative for my 8valver. I have been to ATS, a car ac shop and Halfords. No one has it listed. VW is shut at the moment but I dont think I want a std one. I was wondering if I could get a 16v to fit ?? Or maybe a Golf one ?? Any help much appreciated as car is now off the road - busted !!! Ryan
-
If your back box was I urgent need of replacement as it has split open is hanging only by its rubber mounting and a bent bracket what would you fit to your Corrado? I have a 1995 8Valver and as a bank holiday treat my exhaust is broken. I am getting married in a few months and need a relatively low cost option, but it must sound cool !! What does the standard exhaust look like? Any one have a photo ? Ryan

Are you parked down the marina every day? I just took a slow crusie round the car park out the back of Fitness First on the look out for another C but nothing ! 8)
-
Fantastic – I’ve been spotted! The silver one was probably me as I have never seen another silver one - ever!!!! 8) I live and work in and about Eastbourne and I have seen a few round here, a dark blue VR6 by the marina, a white 16valver that passes me on the road near ASDA every now and again and I sometimes pass another blue one on the way to work by the Red Lion in Stone Cross – we normally wave!
-
I guess this wont fit will it /??? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 16274&rd=1
-
cool - will mine do that if I drill my airbox ??? Hope so. 8)

Normally people are asking to put my body in a calendar! :lol: ……would love to have my C in a calendar!!!! 8)
