  1. True, but the number of "post" 1972 Bugs dropped dramatically after this, after all who wants to add an annual £180 bill onto a car they use a few times a year?
  2. True, but can you really see this government abolishing a multi-billion tax? I can't. For those who remember the "Historical vehicle" tax that was supposed to negate RFL on all cars over 25 years old... this stopped and only became applicable to cars built pre-sept 1972 as soon as "New Labour" arrived, in Brown's First Budget! :censored: If this wasn't the case I feel there'd be a hell of a lot more Mk1 Golfs out there still too!
  3. Any-one figured out how the new banding Seen here will affect us? Or is it only on new cars? Shuld I put off buying that Lupo Sdi then? :shrug:
  4. VW did that with the Bug/Split/Bay/Type3 etc.. Mad to see some of the parts all "exploded" like that though!
  5. Or sling a couple of Corrado Forum stickers in back windows of the van?
  6. Sweet, :notworthy: Do you have any pictures Yan, also how much? Just need to do some digging to find original dealer now..

    Paint Codes

    Yeah it's, PUK3 I think.... Did say it was a Marmite colour.. Walsey don't worry I'm thinking about a Mk2 Synchro Project my mate has sat waiting to do something with.. Was thinking NATo green/Black, but quite like Irish green/Black but needs to get a code for our paint man to run a sample up. Joedakio, sorry to hear your Rado's not turned out to be as good you hoped, but rest assured you have one of the best Colours (IMHO)

    Thought it was lighter/more "Green" than that? Or and I confusing it with the "Irish Green" that was also available?
  13. Welcome "Emu" Seems there's a good choice of Rados up in Bonnie Scotland too!
  14. Reminds me... must do engine/Box mounts soon as well! Think i'll go the Dismal route though. Jon best of luck with the trak arms, did same with mates 170k Caddy and they were a right Be-atch to get off!

    Does any-one know if Khaki Pearl was available as a UK colour? And any photos as well? Sounds like a more "Marmite" colour than Nugget!
  16. Mental... but then again I was thinking....
  17. Yan, so if I e-mail them with local garage name and "old-school" phone numbers they'll be able to knock up a set of plates?
  18. Christ Valver values are dropping like stones! :shock: Satin Black the bonnet... go 70's rallye look!
  19. Top effort for working on a car when the snow's that deep! TBH I prefer the Black/Red look.. but still a sweet looking C
  20. I'd say Silver... and decent "non-baller" 50 series tyres... keep gearing and dishes intact...
  21. M25 (or other M-way for that matter) you see the same every day.... Sad looking man in a tie with the look of one who's soul has been sucked out of his genetals and is forced to drive a Galaxy, but doesn't accept that he should move over for anything! Least my mate with 3 sprogs has made the missus drive the Sharan and he has a Mk1 Caddy/ 50 Pontiac Lead-slead and a splitty! Other mate with 4 has a "Pissrat estate" (but more for work as he lugs stuff about) and the Missus has a T25 Micro-bus! One mate bought his wife an 83 911 when they had their first child, all becaiuse you can fit the buggy in the "boot", the kiddie seat on the passenger seat and the bag-o-nappies fits on the rear "shelf" (Seat)... How chuffed was she? Very! Thus proving you CAN have kids and a life with petrol...
  22. Ben have you measured Body vs Garage! ;) I give you ooh 3 weeks to start "fiddling" with the factory spec! 4WD & 1 turbo/cylinder Ultima! Yeah BABY!
  23. Yah cause X5's all have really well adjusted "self-levelling*" lights! :lol: *-self level at Corado rear-view mirror height!
