  1. Welcome back Abdul, looks like a great start. I always look at your thread images and wish I could tuck the rado behind such castle like gates ..... very grand :thumbleft:
  2. Getting Deeper down here ..... yay !!
  3. well its snowing very lightly in London but not settling yet :( I'm 30 years of age but I still love it when it snows ...... hopefully will get some settling later as I have to go out and pick up the missus - Q some quattro fun :dance:
  4. It always amazes me how some people can stay calm enough in this situation to video it all ..... if it were my car I would probably be quite annoyed that all my mate was concerned about was getting it on his camera !!!
  5. I really enjoyed that one ...... I actually laughed genuinely a few times !! Aventador is to die for and a shame the Red Noble had to go - it was much nicer than the black one and the break down won't do Noble much good which is shame.
  6. Indeed this is a Pearoast that is well and truely burnt ....... but never get bored of it :thumbleft:
  7. .....she wasn't in the car - christ my life wouldn't be worth living if she was :blackeye: I kinda of thought the same on the VR6 turbo comment but I didnt want to start a whole heap of statistical analysis when we all know which one we would all choose if we had the chance - my rado love has limits !!
  8. .....uuhhhmmm and perhaps weight watchers subscription !! .....bet that annoyed the MP4 driver a tad !! Yeah I only use the rado to pop to town
  9. Evening all, Thought I would share an interesting experience today...... I was driving down the A13 on my way back into London and came across a rather 'briskly' driven orange missile ...... yep I've had my first 'real' life exposure to a Mclaren MP4 12C today :dance:. I haven't got that excited about this car from all the press pictures I much prefer the 458 Italia, but trust me, in real life these things are incredible. What made it even better was that he clearly had no problems with driving the thing the way it was intended :thumbleft:. We Cat and Moused for about 15 mins reaching 'interesting' speeds when eventually he pulled off with a big thumbs up. Obviously the only thing keeping me within reach was the traffic, but 80 to 120 and above these things absolutely fly ..... OBVIOUSLY Glad I was in the S4 as at least she kept me within touching distance. Thought I would tell you all this as the Mrs' reaction was disappointing at best :)
  10. Bridesmaides - 9/10 ...... funniest film I have seen in ages :ignore:
  11. ......thats a very good point.
  12. I have been meaning to post similar to 3corsameals original post about the diminishing number of rados on Pistonheads. Defo noticed this over the past year ...... 2 years ago my mate was ribbing me about how 'common' rados were as there were 70 for sale on P'Heads, as opposed to 10 Audi 80's (which he was searching for at the time). Theres hardly any rados now and I couldnt give a toss how many 80's there are.
  13. Yeah agreed, but I think the Corrado is especially 'sensitive' to a wheel change. I think VW got it spot on with the Speedline and Solitude first time round, hence I'm a strong advocate of both. Each to their own though.
  14. ......can't go wrong with speedlines fellas :thumbleft:!!
  15. Looks good fella ....... nice low miles !! Glad you got those wheels off pronto - sorry Toohottotrot but they were not good. Any plans ?
  16. I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad I havent got a clue what your talking about with those graphs and tables Mr.Wishfick :D ......either way :salute:
  17. Just buy the whole unit from Ford (galaxy VR6) ...... it was around £35 three years ago - from memory half the price VW wanted for one.
  18. Exactly ...... I just dont see the point of going back in time when you dont need to considering the 'current comedy crop'. Billy is a genius though, love his southern hemisphere tours - the Aussies love him to. ---------- Post added at 09:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 PM ---------- Indeed - free football on TV and a Top Gear that actually reviews cars perhaps !!
  19. Last night (Sunday) I unfortunatley stumbled across Lenny Henry's new show on BBC1 - what a pile of absolute tosh !! Don't get me wrong, I use to love Henry in the good old days ...... he was a genius in his day who had me rolling around in fits - but sadly not anymore. The jokes are old and the fake laughter is cringe worthy - who at the BBC thought this was a good idea :bonk: Anyway, fast forward to tonight (Monday) and I stumble across the same thing, but this time with Jasper Carrott ....... these guys are dinosaurs and not particularly funny ones at that. Is the British comedy pot of talent so low these days they have to rewind 20 years ??!! I don't get it :scratch:
  20. I don't have any advise for you Emu that the others haven't already given ....... but I'm raging just reading this thread. I hate scumbags who breed ...... if you want I will come round and eat his dog.
  21. :D it is an epic car indeed, but to be honest it wont hold my attention and enthusiasm like the rado has for the past 7 years !! Plus RS246.com is rubbish compared to here :thumbleft:
  22. Im sort of in the same position at the moment......mine is sorn and has been sitting in a garage since the summer when I bought the Audi. I thought I would occassionally go and start her up and go for a spin but it just hasnt worked out that way. I have decided to sell in the New Year so someone else can get some use from a very good car - doubt I will get what I want for her though. So in short, I would sell it if I were you ...... all the best corrados are going to stay here on the CF, so I hope to be able to return to ownership in years to come - if I ever fancied it - by just keeping an eye out here.
  23. uhhmmm I'm not so sure.....your right during the day they cannot help, but this was at night when surely the red shines just as bright - no ? I suppose it might depend on how they have been done perhaps. ---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ---------- Good point, I could just see an insurance company wriggling their way out like that ..... I really hope that doesnt happen to the poor guy.
  24. I think, although I didnt see what actually happened, the women must have skidded into him as the Rado looked stationary and the hit wasnt square on ..... so she must have tried to swerve before the impact. Eitherway looked like one of those 'REALLY' annoying taps that turns out quite distructive.
