LOL porr B*stard

come on guys, if you aint got nothing to hide who cares. anyway they might not have been monitoring the website they may just have been looking at it for personal pleasure while at home and the silly bugger fell unlucky.

yeah me too, however i beleive that not only will previous owner get a fine .... unlikely it will ever get issued, but we will also have to pay fro the pleasure of getting a suitable replacement V5. now how fair is that?

well in my time i had a bright blue rocco that was slightly unstable, so got nicknamed the blue coffin, coz one day i'd in it and dead .... dotn have it any more my MkII Scirocco Stom is called serenity becasue why wife used to teacha girl called serenity storm, and it seemed cute. the daihatsui sprottrack the wife has is called trundlebus and even has its own website http://www.trundlebus.co.uk how sad huh? so far the yellow 16v has been called the flying banana by my boss, custard by my wife ( as in a bit of a tart). althogh neither i like but i'm sure something will stick.

Removed about 1/2 a tonne of copper cabling form the interior, kept it just incase i do ever put an amp in the boot. Pulgged the rear speakers back in, only to find that only one speaker works still. Removed the head unit and re-did all the gaffer taped cabling with connectors, funny ALL the speakers work now Removed the Side Bump strips, love the new look. what do you guys think. :?:

yes the OSF indicator lense is missing, so is the N/S indicator repeater on the side. As for the paint well it is a little faded in spots, however the muppet that had it before me ..... hope they are not on here ...... t-cut some spot so hard that the white primer is coming through. Thank god the company i work for has a paint booth and in summe rhte MD says get her in there and get a new paint job done. ok so i'm getting more confident, and been pushing it a bit harder. hehehe getting better. as i sit all day by the window and gaze at the rado i think i might remove the rock rack mounts before i repaint, along with the rubber strips arounf the outside.

on the subject of clutches, mine seems very low too, its just had a new clutch and gearbox, and gear linkage thingy, so can they be adjusted i'm getting used to it slowly, but prefer it a little bit higher than it is

well so far i fancy doing some cosmetic bits, new front spoiler Replace the lowered springs (previous owner cut them) going for a 30mm drop all round strut braces like the idea of colour coded door handle (spent 5 mins reading the topic on here) perhaps side skirts and new front and rear bumps then its the engine, the 1.8 feels a bit slower tham my Scirocco storm, not sure if its me not pushing hard enough or what.

Well I've finaly upgraded to a corrado, having spent many years with scirocco's, and for some crazy reason i bought a Yellow 16v. So here she is. I paid a measly £1000 but then have now spent £580 on a new gearbox, starter motor, engine mount, gear change lever mech and clutch. The colour grows on me every day, and seems to realy turn heads. all in all not too bad Cheers Jonathan p.s. ok so i know i spelt corrado wrong, and have now edited, however my defence is as stands, scirocco, has one r two c's therefore why does corrado not have one r a two d's .... oh well
