I went along to the auction yesterday. Some great cars there for auction (e39 shape Alpina B10 V8S touring in dark green being my favourite), but yes, sadly no Corrado Storm to view. Wonder if its simply been withdrawn from sale or a sale has been agreed privately..

Hi Roger. I really like one red and one silver set please. No hurry on either as you probably have to get another silver batch made up if I read your previous posts correctly. Charlie

Hi Rams, how much do you want for your dashboard ?

Pete, good luck with this install. I remember my V9F 'charger quite fondly. It was a Stealth install on OBD1 and used to overfuel when cold but apart from that it ran pretty well. I ran larger 360cc injectors and standard cams plus Aquamist for safety. Vince mapped it without the MAF - the days before he figured out how to do OBD1 chargers with the MAF. Whilst I got used to the power (and torque) delivery (hence the longer term switch to turbo) what I miss even now is the impeller whine at low revs and when idling. It sounded great. Will look forward to seeing the car again when its all fitted and finished. Rgds Charlie

Hi there Jenks. OK, will pm you.

Just left you a message on your mobile re the red rear lights. I'd like to take them, please. Will call you around lunchtime today.

Hmm. Sadly already booked up for this coming weekend but sounds good. If this turns out to be a good meet, then perhaps it's one to look at more seriously next year. Club stand or something.

Hi mate. Are you prepared to post ? I am after the piece of interior plastic trim strip that holds rear of the headlining in place. AIn your eighth photo, which has all the trim laid out, it is the piece at the bottom of the photo beneath the boot lip trim. How much do you want for it? Posted to Gloucester if poss. Thanks. Charlie

I have a beige one though it has some marks on it. Unbroken. In Gloucester. Charlie

Hi mate. I'll take the other set at £30 posted, if that's ok. PM me payment details. Going to collect some bits ready for a engine refresh of the Golf. Rgds Charlie

I am after a bonnet with a hump. And it need to be in great shape by which I mean free from dings and dents. Colour is irrelevant as it will be repainted anyway. I live in Wiltshire through moving soon to Gloucester so anything in the West Country ideal. Can possibly collect. Thanks.

Hi mate. I am after a corrado bonnet with the hump, that must be in the best possible condition. As you may know I am having a full respray and my original bonnet is a in a bit of a state under all the filler the bodyshop guy has removed. Your signature says you have a green 2.0L breaking atm. Is that right? And have you the bonnet? What state is it in? Thanks. PS. Were you serious about no Rados ever having black sun visors from the factory? Surely cars with black cloth and black leather interiors had them? Thanks Charlie

I will be there as always but am on The Phirm's stand as I'm only in the Golf this year. Come to think about it, I was only in the Golf last year too..Corrado was Off the road then too. Hmmm. I'll definitely pop over and say hello though. Let's hope for some fine Stonor weather.

Dave, great that you're back behind the wheel of a C. I look forward to seeing it in a couple of weeks...

Hi mate, I am after a pair of black sun visors with black plastic locating brackets hat go with them. Do you have a set? Cash waiting. Thanks Charlie

Hi there, After a pair of black sun visors (driver's side and passenger side) with a pair of black brackets that they clip into with screws. Must be black parts though. Cash waiting. Feel free to pm me. Charlie

Ron. If it's not sold by then I will have a chat with you about it on Sunday. Just starting to turn my attention to Audio stuff now...

Chaps, I can reassure you that Christian is based in Germany. I have exchanged a number of emails with him and my late spec set recently arrived as a parcel from Germany.

...Just checked on EBay.de and he is selling them on there for 99euros plus 30 euros shipping. Steep. Contact him direct to get his preferential price. Have purchased a set...

.. And to be fair to him the 89 euros is the original price rather than the special group buy price. Looks like those genuine buyers who managed to get on the group buy got lucky.

Thanks Ian. Legend. Will have the cash with me.

All businesses and charities that are run on behalf of members or part owned by the members have to have an annual general meeting. They are a fact of life, and they're not glamorous. But they are a chance for the committee (or board of directors) to explain to the membership what they have been doing on behalf of the membership, gain approval for what has been done and explain the way ahead. If the paying membership are aren't interested in how their money is being spent, then they can't complain when they don't like what the Club is up to. Finally it's a chance to vote in the new committee. Jim is right, you can't sugar coat it, but it's all important nevertheless. On a lighter note, its worth mentioning that it's also a really good chance to meet and/or catch up with a bunch of friendly like-minded Corrado enthusiasts and normally get to look at a selection of tasty cars. If your new to the club, then you have the chance to meet the committee who work so tirelessly to run and publicise the good work the Club does and make it as good as it can be for its members. Personally I see it as a chance to support those dedicated people who run it and show them that their work is appreciated as well as catch up with what's been happening and what's planned for the show season. I get back into the country on the Saturday but certainly expect to be there at Gaydon on the Sunday. So see you all there (albeit sadly not in the Rado).

Ian. I shan't be able to get to see my car now for about 3 weeks minimum as I am out of the country until the AGM with work from next week. Happy to pay you for them at the AGM but unable to exchange my original parts so would have to send them on in a month or so. Is that any good? If not then will have to wait a while. Either way, no problems. Thanks.

Ian, can you do anymore sets of these? I might be able to send you my original ones to do as the car is off the road for a respray. Thanks. Charlie
