That's cool, how did you find that out? You work at the DVLA or something? My concern was that they may have scrapped it for parts as they had a G60 in parts in a barn. Might have to do an electoral roll lookup...

The wheels were genuine BBS 17's, not sure of the model but don't think they were of TT fame.

Yeah, I found I was getting a bit fed up with Milton Keynes. The place had changed a lot since I moved there in '95, not always for the better.

Hi Bill, Bally and the rest of you all! Yeah it's been a while since I was around. Life has chucked a few obstacles at me which in the last 18 months has seen me go from happy Corrado owner in Milton Keynes to TDI estate owner living in my own home in Devon, plus I'm now a Dad! It's scary how fast it can all happen!

Hi everyone, it's a blast from the past but I wondered if anyone knew the whereabouts of, or any stories of, my old corrado? I sold it on here/migweb/Mk1 astra forum in Feb 2005 to Jason Sanders. Or more accurately to his dad. I know they lived in Devon and now that I also live in Devon I often wonder if I'll see it again. I just wondered if anyone knew anything about it, whether they've owned/scrapped/seen it etc since then.... "J432GJX" - Yellow 1.8 16v. Distinctive things would be the removal of standard mirrors, delocked and wolfsburg badged... As pictured:

Well I would have done just quick but it requires another registration and I don't see much point in registering, using it once, then not again. If anyone would like to upload the pics go for it. I'll plan to take them offline early next week. Bally, sure was a nice day out. Very amusing the way after we all had a fast drive to Willen Lake was followed by us all lifting bonnets to top up oil & water... lol

Hi everyone, you may or may not remember the Milton Keynes meet up in January 2005? Well since then I've had the pictures available on my website.... however since I no longer own a corrado :-( and need the webspace I'm gonna have to remove them... SO, I'm giving anyone who wants it, a chance to download the pictures before I delete them. Let me know if it's been useful or if you need more time etc as if I don't hear anything I may take them off before you've got em. Mine was the yellow 16v with DTM alloys and the mini corrado on parcel shelf. (Sold in February). http://www.golddustmedia.co.uk/corrado/ ... gelist.htm Bye bye everyone! (Might comeback if anyone spots a mint Corrado with TDi transplant for under £3k.... I know, I know "dream on").

My first car, a ford orion :oops: , had the reg E74 FBM. Once it got vandalised my mates nick named it "The Fully Battered Motor" ! My mk1 astra GTE was sprayed Corrado blackberry pearl and had a huge zorst, my parents referred to it as "The purple burbler". Had a Golf with the letter NVK in the reg, so like it was some spanish person I called "Enveekay". The best I've heard, girl at work has a Mini with "HUR" in the reg so she calls it "Ben". But now I drive an Automatic Passat so I call it "an unrewarding piece of sh*t, mundane box to get me to a job I hate, where I'm underappreciated and am wasting my life". Ok, it's not really short and catchy but it captures the character of my driving experience ;-)

I blast up the M1 every night at about 5pm. J5 to J13... Not got after market rear lights though...

I was gonna offer the 2 solutions in 1 answer.... Open sun roof Point in garden hose Turn on tap and fill car with water... Not only do you kill the mouse but you find the leak that let him get in there in the first place! :wink:

During my uni days I did quite a lot of Cider and E, loved it

I used to let myself into the teacher accounts on the Novell account system then draw naughty pictures of them and save them there! :norty: When the IT teacher began asking who did it I could barely keep a straight face...

I used to be REALLY into computers right up to 1998 when I got a job in computing.... Now I work as a developer/consultant/scapegoat and would do virtually ANY other job that paid the same. SO miserable and bored in IT these days, want to train as an electrician...

Dude, the fat kid jumping about is really scary...

My local dealer has 2 businesses. The dealership and in a different location a parts only company (Wayside parts). If I go to the parts place they say things like "That's a lovely Corrado you have there..." If I go to the dealership I actually walked around for 10 minutes attempting to attract the attention of ANY member of staff but couldn't! They picked up phones or tried to flog overpriced drone cars to plain looking accountants... Eventually I muttered "f*ck it, I'll get it serviced some reputable!" as I walked out the door, that was the first eye contact I made with the staff!
