I'm still astounded by it!!! I saw it and just knew I had to stick it on here ;)

Hopefully not a pea roast, but even if it is its still impressive!!! Have a look at this video and see how quick some of the cars are: ! Now, watch this one............... Awesome!!!

Karl, thats a nice looking 5er mate ;) How come you decided yo change the 3 Series? You sold it yet?

Now that is what you call a thread resurrection - 5 years!!!! :D

Dude, you still got Toffeerado? How is it these days?

Looking good Dave!

Hey dude, long time no speak! Cars looking good ;) You cleaned the engine bay up??? 8)

It'll do, for now ;) Need to get some full pics in the sun now mate.

Pull your finger out Dave ;)

Yes Gareth, its David!! Formerly known as 692 DPG to those who recognise the user from various VW forms of life ;) Dave you are a tease!! And also lacking forum manners by not explaining how you came across such a motor and also what youve done to it already to add to the fact it was so clean when you found it in that old barn ;)

Just been reading through this thread as the car was mentioned on another forum (I nicked the pics Jay ;) ) and thought I'd do a reply to give any new members a lok into one of the nicest Corrado's EVER! Enjoy ;) Oh and in case you cant be bothered to look through it all (you really should though) here are the pics:

He got a bit of a barn find, 2.0 16v I think, low miles and owners and excellent condition generally but needed a little paint.

Go to Coningsby regularly mate but try not to stay overnight if I can help it. Went out with Jed just before xmas though, dont have your number though matey, PM it to me and I'll give you a shout next time :wink:

Sport or SE Gareth? How you finding it? dave has two BM's now, E90 320Si (Very rare) and 130i M-Sport (270BHP!) and a MKII GTi, and a Red Rado!!!! :shock:

If only mate, if only!! :wink:

Nah just a cheap runaround mate, but its a nice MKII with new suspension, brakes etc and has just been around the ring ;)

Been thinking about those too, but my boxer quite likes my back seat with a cover and her bed on it!!! ;)

;) What you gonna get then? 330 I assume, but which model?

And??????

Not going back to a C yet mate, but I may have a MKII Goof on my drive in a while as a run around ;)

Hey Jim, hows it going mate? The bus hit 3 of us. The others were both written off I think, and I had no end of being messed around by the bloody bodyshop!!

If you turn the traction off completely it helps, but RWD and snow dont mix ;) Press and hold the button for about 5 secs until light comes on and amber handbrake light.

Alright Slimster hows it going matey? Car going well? Looks good ;)

Hey Neil, only just seen this. Gutted about your old C mate, glad you're ok though.
