cool, 1st pic looks like its a model version! last one looks quality though, properly moody! its really coming together.. dare i say it just needs a diagonal red stripe down the side??!! :norty: :lol:

I think the massive:shock: amount of cash they are clearly making from selling it around the world has caused someone (be it clarkson, his mate the producer, or higher ranks in the bbc) to decide the budget should now be scaled up in a similar fashion. As you know, if you're responsible for a budget, you only get points for spending all of it, not a penny more or less. Clearly this stuff is the only way they can get it spent. I'm not saying its not entertaining but, as has been said, we thought it was a car show rather than an entertainment program for anyone, whether they like cars or not. As an example, how many people's Mums/Sisters with no interest in cars tune in to watch? I know mine do.. :?: I suppose if we just agree that this is what its become and watch 5th Gear (when its on) for actual reviews, then that can be that. Personally though I do think it would have been nice if they kept a bit more of a balance... :roll:

you can really see the camber with the speedlines on! doesn't it wear the tyres really quick?

ouch..!! :shock: £40k car write-off + £10k at least in track repairs, car recovery and track closure fees.. that would be the most expensive day he will EVER have!!!!!

i feel your pain dirtysanta, thats where i am.. cant help you with working out what it is but never thought my average speed would actually go down when i bought a car with twice as much power as my last one.....

hmmm, still painful then... cheers tho!

thats got to be some kind of record for a C convoy! (a challenge perhaps?!!? :twisted:)

this should be good!

anyone have a view on what it realistically costs to retrofit these days?

i would really love to go, and it would be so much better with a big group..! i'm sure we could gather up a good few from on here?

Tyler R, did you just sell yours on eBay for $100?!? not a bad profit!

herisites thought you were having ride quality issues on yours?

liking the mk 2 cab!

£15k for a 3-4 yr old v8! tasty! 8) 8)

i believe these might be to sir's liking? :D http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic. ... highlight= *edit - thanks for mention above Karl!

yeah, may well try this year, not been before...

you watching it on tv at the moment then?!

http://www.vodcars.com video podcasts, or can subscribe on itunes episode 101 and 102 (for the unpleasant accidents....) generally some pretty amazing cars/clips on most episodes though not always great quality...:)

agreed.. 8) 0% balance transfer and save like hell for a while so you pay some of it off when that runs out. run both for a bit, decide which you like and if you've saved enough then keep the best one forever and enjoy the other one as your daily..! :twisted: :D

verry tempting... :D

guess i was expecting him to have more trouble keeping up with her even in a gt3, but i guess he knows the track and the m5 is a fair bit heavier & has passengers.. quality though, will definitely get there one day..!

LOL :D

Nigel, if you are looking to follow Kev's advice ;) just posted trader ad for my friend's MK4 R32 in black... 8) http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic. ... 049#623049

if you do leave it as is and you have a spare rear vr6 badge could i take it off your hands?! cheers john
