Welcome along!

Hey guys Looking for some decent youtube or vimeo etc videos of Corrado's. Need some inspiration for what I might do next on my car. Anyone got anything they think is worth a look?

Already away that weekend next year. Hadn't really thought about going otherwise I wouldn't have booked anything. Big forum trip in 2015 is the answer!

Just look like cheap copies of Borbet A's. Might not be anything particularly wrong with them though

Good work on getting it running, looking forward to seeng the pictures

Think I'd agree and say a bit too modern

That is a fantastic video. Are you friends professionals? I'd be up for going in 2015.

Welcome back! Love that composite image you made, very nice.

It's too far gone now. Used to love the F1 but the races are so dull, and so predictable that I just don't bother. The most money wins, simple. Why do you think redbull have been fighting hardest to stop the plans for a spending cap?!

I've not had a huge amount of dealing with them but generally I've found clients try to avoid any schemes which create convernant over your property. Ie: we install for free, but you must have these panels on your house for X number of years. And if you sell, the next owners must meet these terms until the end of the agreement. This can cause issues if you want to move and any potential purchaser may be discouraged from being tied into them. Buy outright and I see no issue, and I think people generally save a fair bit with them. Whether it'd be enough to cover the additional interest on increasing your mortgage to pay for them would need a proper calculation.

Another shout for the 70mm spoonfed item here. Much more flexible than the original but I'd love to put a 90mm one back on mine if I could.

Submitted a pic but not sure it'll pass the grade as it was taken on instagram.

Working fine for me on both iPad and iPhone. I to am not overly enamoured with tapatalk

Hello :wave:

Not a real update but I'm enjoying actually driving him for a change so as a result I've now conquered the 150k milestone. Granted its like triggers broom but I'm going to have a quick whiskey in the old boys honour. Cheers! Oh, and the wife took the pic before anyone asks, I wasn't doing 70 and trying to photograph my odometer :lol:

Yep, as above I keep everything. Not sure why I keep the tax discs.... Maybe to show I'm not a thieving scrote driving around without tax!

There's got to be an answer to this issue. Sounds like an auto electrician is the way forward. Really hope you get it sorted.

It was a knee jerk reaction after years of Toad trying to get his hands on it!

I see you've still got that pic of me from our last meet up Kev?

I'm running 17x8 ET35. No issues.

I used to work for a Bentley dealer, and you mentioning this in this thread reminds me that one if the benefits when they released the continental supersports was that it could run on E85 fuel and therefore qualified for a lower road tax band! £165k car and they still get a lower band than your average R32.... Rich people scratching each other's backs! Fantastic car though.... As you'd expect with 620bhp... :lol:

Because it doesn't work like that. People don't vote based purely on who represents the best for them or the country. Who on here honest read all the manifestos from the various parties, made an informed choice and voted on who they thought was going to be the best for the job.... irrespective of which party? And who voted based on an 'I'd never vote labour!' attitude? People are party faithful. That's an unfortunate reality. You might get a bit of swing but never much. Then you have to contend with all the flip-flopping of the parties. Labours policies will be Lib Dems next time, and the Conservatives are just rehashing Labour ideas that were Lib Dem ideas years ago!

Release bearing on it's way out? Or something leaking somewhere.

Shhhh Kev, don't let on that's we're grumpy old men! :lol: I know it's all a bit in jest on here but I feel quite strongly how much the government has misrepresented the public. Recession is a dangerous word, and although we may have technically been in a financial recession the reality is that we're not doing quite a badly as they're making out. Quite right, this is not the behaviour of people in a recession. Inflation in double figures, interest rates at 15%, effective tax rates of 70%+... now that's a cause of worry! People who have mortgaged to the hilt, bought themselves new cars on finance, credit cards to the max and now they're worried about a 0.25% shift in base rates have nobody to blame but themselves. I might get burned for this and I know people will blame banks for lending them the money, or the government for giving a load away to the people who genuinely are poor (proper poor not 'I can't afford to go on the lash this weekend' poor), but really? do you not have the common sense to think maybe a 100% mortgage is a bad idea? Greed and no self control is the biggest problem. The reality is people know the good life and they want that to continue, they want to have a huge house and a new white Audi but do you NEED it? Unlikely. The banks were not clever in the way they lent money but people went in there and completed the application forms of their own free will, I doubt HSBC have taken to using gunpoint as a persuader to utilise that super low loan rate! I appreciate it isn't all sunshine and lollypops for all. The housing market is a joke and there have been industry problems which have caused job losses etc which is very unfortunate but look at the scale of these things in the 70's or early 90's, we're not there yet by a long way. And what about all the failures with Ford and Vauxhall plants when the good times were rolling a few years ago? Businesses fail, markets change. That's life. But for me I'm always thinking about how I can mitigate these things influencing me? How long could I live on my savings etc if I lost my job? Is it just be me that thinks about these things? I apologise for the rant. I'll go back to my padded room now..... :bonk:

Was thinking that myself looking at your previous meet pics. I'll definitely come in the new year when I can have a nice evening drive. Look forward to it.
