  1. Now sold
  2. Original BBM RSR supercharger outlet kit for G60. Bought from Only Charged Dubs in November 2018 but never opened. All items in the kit are still in the plastic packaging they were delivered in. Kit includes machined outlet with bolt, black silicone hose, black tube and both clamps. £150 including uk postage.
  3. I am making my debut in the Legends Championship at Brands Hatch on November 7/8th, suporting the British Supertrucks. I've never raced on circuits before, only driven the car for about 10 laps in February and only found out there was space on the grid a week ago so very unprepared but determined to be there. (Once we've bolted the car back together) So come and say hello if you're at the circuit, and check out our website if you're interested in racing. http://www.legend88.net Twitter @uklegend88
  4. One in black for me too please. Been meaning to search for these for ages.
  5. Spotted a black C with polished Porka wheels parked on a driveway in Bedfont this morning. Nice looking car.
  6. LANCING! SAW ONE IN LANCING! Maroon in colour. Either a G60 or something else.
  7. Aye, that was me on my way to work. What a disgusting time of day to be on the M25! Cheered me up getting a wave tho. ---------- Post added at 8:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 8:37 PM ---------- Aye, that was me on my way to work.

  8. Just received mine and its turned up in mint condition by courier. Very pleased with it.
  9. I have the wider version of the newer black and gold range arriving tomorrow. I am an aircraft engineer, so our boxes are being wheeled around the hangar a lot every day. Someone I work with has had the blue HD version for a few years and its good as new.
  10. I was wondering if the enclosed wheels are to accommodate clever things on both sides of the wheel. Regeneration thingys and such.
  11. Are the enclosed wheels for technical reasons or do they think it looks futuristic?
  12. I have the standard steering wheel and it does the same thing quite often, so maybe not your wheel.
  13. I would like to have another car to use as a daily but the additional cost of another set of tax, mot, insurance and maintenance all adds up. For me, at the moment at least, it is a choice between owning a Corrado as my daily diver or not owning a corrado at all.
  14. You are spoilt. Maybe that's the way to go. 3 or 4 Corrados. Then you could drive one while cleaning the rest and keep the mileage down on each one.
  15. That's another thing. It is reliable because I have changed the majority of things that can go wrong on it. It has cost a fair bit of money to get to that point but I have done everything but the charger rebuilds myself. Modern day cars so reliant on electrics and sensors that I wouldn't have been able to do half the jobs myself and that would've cost a lot more. I know that if it needs a new CVJ/wheel bearing/pump or anything else, the chances are its possible to do in my garage for the cost of the parts.
  16. I have done 10 times that in under three years. I know that it isn't a show car and never will be. I love driving it and have tried running a second car as a daily but always end up looking at how much its costing me to be driving a car that I don't want, when the one I want is sitting in the garage. I've found it to be a brilliant daily driver too. Practical, very reliable, superb handling for when the mood takes you and good mpg when you're cruising. Saying that, if I had a Storm like the one in your picture (@Portent) I doubt I would look at it the same way.
  17. 2 or 3 years ago I used to see a different Corrado on the road almost every week, but nower days I go weeks or even months at a time between sightings. I probably saw 3 or in total last year, and maybe 2 so far this year. Are people starting to keep them stashed away and only using them now and then or are they really that much of a dying breed? I have had my current G60 for 3 years now, and have used it as a daily driver from day one. The up side of this is that I know the car and its limitations very well, I notice any problems it has as soon as they develop and I know it will do thousands of miles around Europe without any problems. I try to maintain it to the highest standard my finances allow and treat it to a nice upgrade every now and then so I still benefit from an improving project. The downsides of course are that it is always dirty, (anyone who owns a white car will understand) and it is difficult to keep the bodywork and interior looking as nice as it would if it only did a few thousand miles a year. So, in short, are there really that fewer Corrados on the road now compared to a few years ago or are there just fewer daily drivers? ---------- Post added at 10:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ---------- Another downside with a G60 daily. 2 charger rebuilds in three years and another not too far off.
  18. If it was on original BBS then that'll be me. I think I remember seeing a focus that day. ;-) Not quite immaculate but glad it looked good to a fellow nut.
  19. Had to put my Specialized FSR on eBay due to having another stupid expensive hobby and something having to give. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Custom-spec-Specialized-Stumpjumper-FSR-XC-/251106757507?pt=UK_Bikes_GL&hash=item3a77210b83 Would rather sell it outside of Ebay and save money on fees. Would like £850 for it but would take £750 for someone on here.
  20. Three! Three in the space of 90 minutes! First one- Red, buzzed me on the A40 towards London at roughly 06:47 this morning. He was only on the A40 for one junction. Second and third- within three minutes of each other at about 08:00am, two dark coloured Rados heading anticlockwise round the top of the M25. The weather was crap.
  21. Saw a shiney white rado briefly as it overtook me on the A40 at about 10:40 last night. I was doing about fifty because I could not be arsed. It looked how mine would if I had the time and money. :mrgreen: Looked lovely.
