toon vw

You might have a point there..ha ha, although it is something to celebrate i reckon- no open wallet surgery :lol: Thanks, we need all the luck we can get although i am quite exited by ' big sam's ' arrival, look forward to see him implementing a lot of changes.

Hi EDSTARVR6we got a forward facing child seat for the rear from mothercare called the BRITAX EVOLVA 123 & it fits perfectly, apparently its specially designed for the 'bucket seat' type, i don't know about from birth but we got it when the ' littlun ' was only a few months old & its superb, cost about £95 ish i think....hope this helps. Andy

Well just picked up my vr from the garage together with a MOT certificate for the next year with not even as much as an idvisory :multi: :multi: Sorry just felt the need to share that :lol: ...carry on

seriously don't know why he does'nt set up a little business there, i know he'd have one or two customers on here....preferential rates for locals though :lol: :lol:

You'll be taking this one out for that Hartside meet at this rate Jimmi !!! Good work so far, can't wait to see the finished product

sounds like a belter but don't act too keen, kick the tyres a bit, rub those car park dents & just let him know you only really looking for an old smoker to get you to work & back but you MIGHT take it off his hands :lol: :lol: how much is he wanting for it btw....getting me coat :-P

Jimmi you're a nutter....do you have more hours in the day than everyone else or summit ??? :lol: good luck mate :salute:

wonder what kind of time the stig-meister could navigate it around the top gear test track ??? would be interesting

Exactly....perfection is simple!

apparently jimmis got photo's of clarkson driving it

Like everyone else is saying, the build quality seems a million miles apart in favour of the mk3, i've had both but the mk3 was the 8v which was fine as an everyday car, never had a scrap of bother at all from it, mind saying that i did'nt from the mk2 either, my preference would be a mk3 especially you've remembered its the 16v :wink:

Get in touch with 'Top Gear' see if they would be interested in coming & taking a look & a drive 18 odd years on from when they did it originally, its gotta be good press for the corrado in general with it now being a minter plus it could'nt do any harm for the value of it either..... :wink:

well i've just watched it....&.....i thought was the best episode of TG for a long long time, ok no reviews or 'stars' making fools of themselvs in a crappy car but they more than made up for it with belly laughter moments from start to finish, when clarkson was being showered in the car i nearly pissed myself....& when that car salesman pulled a hand gun from his back pocket :lol: :lol: i could go on & on but one thing for sure....a definate :fist: to the 'pc brigade'

it did for the poor deer family

i took out 3 deer in one go last year :( ....i was at work driving a train at the time mind !!

i was going to say my first car which was a fiat 126 (650cc) complete with holes in the floorpan & clothes prop propping the headlining up aaaah those heady days of my teens.... but on reflection i had a right laugh in it so it could'nt have been that bad !!!! :hic: no probably the worst car i've ever driven was my father in laws cream coloured hyundai pony....what a complete pile of pooh that was :lol:

that was one hell of a " hill "...... and that noise...wow :-P

My vr has done 118k miles BUT have just had a 64k miles engine & plenty of other bits & bobs fitted & its purring like a pussy cat & pulling like a train...at the minute !!!

Looks like you gotta a fantastic stance now...very mean, but whats the ride like??? i would imagine it'll be pretty stiff is it?

Cracking looking motor mate, i agree about the rear lights aswell they look perfect, the new gear knob just adds a touch of class to the interior (& it won't come off in your hand :lol: ) especially with the chrome clock rings aswell. looking forward to meeting you & the storm at the weekend....especially the storm :lol: :lol: :x-mas: Andy...

Hey jimmi just seen this thread, i'm over the moon for ya mate especially as i KNOW this will come out to be an original as possible & will end up being one of the most desirable corrado's on the forum imho, can't wait to see it in the flesh...... whats your plans with it in the future then??? nice tasty profit to plough into your other 'project' or to keep it & take it to a few shows??? And i reckon it deserves a gallery of its own aswell.

have you sorted out a buyer for your g-max suspension Rob, 40 mm drop are'nt they?

:puppydogeyes: :crazyeyes: :thumb right:

why not post something up in the 'meets' section & sort it out properly. Hey jimmi i know where there's a cracking low milage engine at the minute...but i reckon the winnibago could be a good shout :lol: if you fancy it i could come for you no problem or give your m3 an airing & show us what real power is !!!

Well....all i can say is, the difference between this 64k miles lump & my 117k lump is just immense, it feels so much more torquey & it just feels generally alot more willing to whiz up to that red line....weeeeeeee :tongue: Thanks again jimmi you're obviously a quality engineer & a top bloke aswell.....see you again sometime next year when ive saved enough for a charger :wink: Yeah purpley i'd love to see your motor again, bet its mint again now, you furbed the momo's aswell did'nt you?we'll have to sort some kind of meet up soon me thinks :norty:
