well am assuming as its a post 92 VR6 he "should" still have the right relay
-
...........could be worse could be called CORRADO or RRA :lol:
-
oh...............and while we are on about wipers you should have a variable intermittent wipe function on the front wipers first you put it on intermittent...........then you count how many seconds you want it to sweep at...........then push up to off and push back down to intermittent............then viola you have variable intermittent function..........
-
you push it again.........tho be warned it can sometimes take a few pushes to time it right
-
not too bad............best going for BBS RX/RX2's tho
-
unless you've got sexy brakes to show off.............they'll just look silly IMO
-
arches make it look less of a sleeper tho
-
I still get mine dealer serviced..........approx £120-ish per year..........but i get either my mate or local garages to do other bits n pieces............only use the stealer if there wasn't any other alternative
-
to add it my post above too I've had my C now for 5years...............prior to that the longest i'd had a car was 2.5years.........yes there are faster motors out there the likes of S3/S4's etc but they don't have the character and the rareness that the C has,and thats a bigger part of motoring enjoyment that I enjoy the most
-
keep the Corrado...........I bought my 993 almost a year ago and obviously drove that more than my C........at the beginning of the year my C developed a few niggles that hacked me off no end and i did think about selling it,but once i sorted those wee niggles out I wised up to the idea and I'm glad i did........its obviously not as good a drivers car as the 993 but it still gives me a grin everytime i drive it............i think there's very little modern out there for £10k that will deliver those kind of feelings,and without doubt within a few weeks of selling you'll realise that too

I see what you're saying matey, but why is it ok to make allowances for one group of people for whom getting out of the car and into the supermarket is difficult, but not another group? I.e. disabled folk and parents respectively. All or nothing imo :) you could say the same for all owners of 2/3 dr coupes etc then,as most 2/3dr versions of cars have longer doors so making access harder also.........parents don't always have to take their kids along afterall,if its the nuclear family of say Man,Woman and 2.4 children then whats wrong with 1 of them staying in the car with the 2.4 kids or at home..........obviously I know thats not always workable but this nanny state we have nowadays where kids no longer get smacked(not abused but physically punished) are making things worse in all walks of life.......its also amazing now how as soon a couple start a family they start looking at buying 5/7 seater ppl carriers[/quote:cf6b9] What? Doors? Leave one adult and the kids in the car? Lol. A very practical solution there mate - 'you stay in the car for an hour whilst I do the shopping'! Yeah right! Load of old cobblers you're spouting there fella. Pure crap :) And how the fek did that get onto smacking kids!!!! Bit of a Mail reader by any chance?[/quote:cf6b9] you were pointing out about how ppl who have difficulty getting in and out of cars in enclosed areas........i was making the point that also the choice of car can also have similar effect..didn't mean it was a valid point tho and yes I know its probably not practical 1 parent doing the shop but its certainly not unworkable ok i degenerated into a rant about kids but its this nanny state we have where kids get dropped off at school 800 yards from where they stay etc,teachers are disrespected cos they can't corporal punish their pupils for misbehaving,kids who are failing at school are no longer told so...40% is a pass rate(or similar).......surely you(we are both similar age-wise) must notice the younger generations education lacking.......the amount of ppl on net boards that can't spell worth a F*** is amazing FFS i left school without an English O-grade,yet i still am able to spell better than others,not perfectly obviously but i still know the basics and as for Mail reader.................wrong spy mate.............hardly ever read a tabloid just local papers for me

VR6 Storm [238,500 miles and counting 13/02/07]
vr6storm replied to CorradoWannabe's topic in Members Gallery
here's to many more years ive had mine now for 5years and still remember the first day feeling as if it were yesterday -
..............another bug bear of mine..............WTF is the scoop with ppl sorting out their kids in kiddie seats with their door on the roadside???............the amount of times ive come across someone strapping in or taking out their kid at the roadside is unbelievable........yes i know you can't always park at the side the kiddie seat is at.....but whats wrong with gaining access from the side thats at the kerb???.....surely thats a lot safer than the potential of the kid falling while being secured/taken out and facing oncomming traffic

i'm sure the sales manager could have got someone in the trade to underwrite it for a more palatable £2k -

just shows how greedy dealers can be tho -
errr less of the chav and likewise i hope some brat dings your motor thinking your abusing their god given right to park in parent n kid spaces................and btw no chance of me having kids........hate the fluckers...........oh and its by choice,as the wife can't stand them either
-
another part of the reason I'll park in a parent n kid space is also the possibility of getting a door knock is quite unlikely,whereas no matter how hard you try by parking at the end of a car park(when its quiet).....you'll always get some muppet park right next to you..........so far ive spent near on £500 on panel repairs on various cars........the car park/shop will never admit liability and its very few and far between that someone will own up to damaging it so i'm sorry but if it inconveniences an able bodied person with a kid then tough luck........i'm fed up forking out for ppl's mistakes.........but one things for certain............i respect disabled bays

correctamundo
-
they attracted a premium for a few years after production stopped new they last cost £22k-ish
-
thing is parent n child spaces IMO are a load of crap.................they should make all the spaces the same size........i don't see why having offspring means that you can get preference for wider spaces(obviously i know its for door clearance etc)..........disabled spaces are there for those more unfortunate than us so they are halo'd to me.........parent and kid spaces on the other hand are just pandering to the nanny state we have.....i have no qualms whatsoever about parking in them,and any ppl who give me grief parking there get it back

what you gonna do with the money you've saved on those doors of Sam's then Bill??
