Another good reason for this to happen http://www.the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewto ... highlight= 4000 members could be a good bartering point! :lol:

Sorry thread hijack - whats the benifit of doing this?

The guys at Helston VW couldnt be more helpful. Nice to see these still on the road was one comment.

I would be quite happy to join up and fully understand it would not be all about the money. How many of us on here have saved at least £20 a year with the help in the knowledge base not to mention on parts and advice on where to get stuff from. I have only not joined the ccgb for all the reasons listed above. Lack of support, no real organisation. This is a far better and well orgasnised club, ( how I percive it, lots of like minded people sharing information). And think it would benifit all involved if we could find a way to amalgamate both and give us all the benifits of both.

Yes would be a lot of money but would ensure that the forum grows, Mods have the time to regulate it and could in theory pay for someone to activly look after it all. The ccgb has how many members at about £12 a year. This would ansure we could have the sprinter and meets proper membership of a club dedicated to the corrado. In theory would be a proper car club.Look at some of the posts on here as we know you do. How many people join up just to sell something. Pay a pound or put it in the paper or on e bay. Everyone else charges! If you want to help out the forum by donating parts you have left over or want to get shot of then why not have a free parts section that to get parts from you have to make a donation to the forum! End of rant :roll:

Another 2p,s worth. :lol: Would a small membership fee to this forum cover the total running costs of an amalgameted venture. 4000 members here at the mo £1 a month would be not too much to ask. Would also ensure that there are no spammers. or people just posting parts to try and make a profit. Guests could still view the forum and be asked to join as a joint venture with a cost incorperated for some kind of welcome pack / membership sticker. The sprinter could also still be sent out either as a e-mail or as a letter for those with no internet access. I dont know how much the ccgb charges as had found this to be the best repository of information for the C but would it be more than £12 a year. Whilst not being in the best place to help out.( Deepest darkest cornwall, I for one would be more than happy to help out in any way possible.) 2/3 hours a week would not hurt. I am sure that there would be many others on here in the same position and working together would only strengthen our scene. end of 2p's worth :lol:

About 8 or so in a cold car park at marsh barton just outside exeter :lol: :lol: But only 4 from on here as far as we could tell. :cry:

She does look better, only problem with cleaning her I can see how much she has been neglected in the past. Am looking forward to sorting the body out when we can afford it.

First big clean of the summer. Got one of those RAC buffers from Argos. So much easier. Might try and give her a good polish every week now. Couple of pictures and one outside the Sloop Inn in St Ives Cornwall.

I have looked into this, seems to be a very common problem with corrado owners, only sorted with flashing blue lights :lol: :lol: :lcop:

I dream of a garage. Or even a drive for that matter. We have to park our baby anywhere we can. Sometimes can be about 15mins walk away. When I get the body sorted am considering investing in one of those super alarms that pages you if she is tampered with.

V abused, They are £90 for a new one :x But there is a place called combellack recycelers about 10 mins from you that have had 4 corrados in this week so am going up to do a raid this week for all the panals and stuff I need in preperation for a respray. Might find one there :D

Its still got to be dropped a little bit soon. I am getting the rear bearings and discs done so willl do it then. Just slightly concerned about the practicality of it though as i seem to smack everything with the fron splitter at the mo. Oh well.

There is one on ebay at the mo. It would need looking at though as has a great big Jabba sticker on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Black M reg, Not to sure what it was, on the A30 heading towards hayle, Yesterday about 12.30pm. Waved got a blank look, quite a young bloke as well but guessing he is not on here. T

Cracking pictures trig. She's looking good.

How much do I want a go in a jag on a frozen lake now!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mmmmhhhhh Tasty.

Already set the recorder in case I am not back in time. There is a good DVD with this months Magazine as well.

Has anyone used one of these, I know it is a budget detector but don't have too many pennies at the moment. Unfortunally with the summer coming and all the tourists the police seem to come out in force down here and I really want to try and keep my licience clean. Cheers Tim

Awesome car 8) Agreed, something about those boxy arches! i always thoght they looked a bit Mk1 golfish crossed with a Mk2 Rallye :?

Always fancied one of these. In the 16v turbo verion of course.

I am up for that, At the mo I have met one other c owner. Although am sure to make up for that at Ultimate dubs. All suggestions for a meet here please. St Austell, Wadebridge, triggermyson could get on the case. I am easy anywhere from here to exeter or plymouth is good for me, The C always likes a longish drive.

Just been reading back through this and there seem to be a few more of us around. Anyone up for trying to get a few more together this time. Venue, Somewhere a bit further up the A30 to encourage a few more. I am thinking we should get walsey to suggest a decent pub in his neck of the woods. (Fraddon) hamburger hill!!!!!! Any takers

Just so happens I have a set of G-Max springs kicking around that are only 6 months 4000 miles old. lowers on standard shocks by 50mm. If you are interested drop me a pm. Tim
