toon vw

First of all a big shout for ' purpley-corrado-dude ' for offering to meet me & show me around his...funnily enough' purpley corrado ' vr, & even allowing me to have a drive of his pride & joy,( it is absolutely stunning) as i say i am new to the forum & i am absolutely astounded by the dedication all you guys have to your raddo's but mainly the simple fact that everyone will bend over backwards to help each other out if needed as the ' dude ' has today, once again cheers mate. I must say after experiencing the 6 pot beast in full flight :D i am going to find it hard to convince myself that it might be a ' sensible ' idea to give a valver a go for a while, although i can understand what you are saying about being able to appreciate the different experiences the two cars will undoubtably bring. Do you think it is always very important to have loads of stamps in the service book or just rely on what info you are given by the owner & how should it affect the value of the car do you reckon? A big thanks to everyone thats contributed so for & keep em coming !!

cheers mate, i've pm'd you

well thats great to hear, are there any kind of meets going on up here then ?

first of all i'm definately not rich, so costs will come in to the reckoning, i'm just after a good reliable daily driver & to have bit of fun in & to polish up each week & look great next to all my mates familymobiles ( of which we have one of those already!!) Thanks for the offer to have a go of both yours but i'm afraid i live up north... no not manchester..proper north...newcastle & the corrado's are are as rare as rocky horse pooh up here so its pretty hard to get to 'try them out', i looked at a lovely valver (thanks scirrocotune) the other day which i found on this forum & was amazingly only about 10 miles away, but it was the first one i had even looked at so had nothing to compare it against & definately did'nt want to rush into anything just because it was local although it was hard to fault... :D

Hi every one, i'm a newbie on this forum & its Grreeeaaaaattttttt !! I'm wanting to get myself a decent corrado ( but not too pricey)but don't know which way to turn, a valver...g60....or the holy grail the Vr, any input on what would be a good way to start would ge great as there seem to be so many out there & just to know some of the pro's & con's of each model would be a great help. I've had a few a few golf gti's mk's 2,3 & 4 so know how rewarding the older vw's are to drive & just fancy a bit more of the same but wrapped up in a bit more STYLE !!! Any input would be great. cheers Andy
