I've just registered on R32OC and I believe a minimum of 100 posts is required before you can put a 'For Sale' thread up.

I've noticed that some of the regulars on here turned there own 'Build Threads' into 'For Sale' Threads anyway. All of a sudden, 'I've polished my bonnet with XYZ' went to 'Bored of my Corrado, genuine offers around £ABC will be entertained'. Quickly followed by 'Bump'. Personally, I think the old style worked well for the genuine sellers, generated talking points and only rarely caused controversy. However, I completely understand that having a dedicated 'For Sale' section also helps if you are actually looking for something as all the items are collected in one place. Payment pending, I hope that I am one of the first who can say their car has sold on the new Classifieds section (albeit not with the 'Offer' button!) and should be with the new owner very soon, all being well.

4.5k sounds like a good price. The problem is, people are always unsure of modified cars. I was the same. I wanted to spend the money myself modifying the car, rather than letting someone else pay through the nose and me get a bargain! Knowing what I know now, and having done it the expensive way, I'd buy a car ready-to-go (or nearly there as in your case) and save a lot of money. Good luck if you do decide to sell, looks like an interesting set-up for someone.

I'm reminiscing!! Can it be done? The title change I mean!

Is there any way of changing the title of a thread I created previously? i.e.-my 'For Sale' advert?? I could do with putting a price in the title really.

Sorry, I know this is a recurring question, but..... Is there any way to look at what threads you've posted in? I know you can go to 'My Profile', 'View All Posts' but this just brings up what you've posted, not the threads. In the Bible, you could click 'View Your Posts' (I think - it was automatic what I clicked so it may have been different?!) and it would bring the threads that you'd posted in, so it was easy to see if a thread you'd posted in had been replied to. Does that make sense? Would be great to have it back as I (and by the souds of it a lot of other people too) used it a lot to keep track of my interests.

A family-friendly footballers four-wheel drive! I bet Range Rover are quaking in their boots! I quite like it mind! I do see the M Coupe in it though (and I like that car too!).

Mine's ready to go if you want! viewtopic.php?f=12&t=100037 I feel for you mate, sometimes it just feels like life is against you doesn't it! Chin up, hope it gets sorted.

Don't you just love it when people kiss and make up!! Well done chaps!! :clap:

I'd agree with that. I went to the Monaco GP a couple of years ago & was sat right on the first corner. It's a relatively slow one but we were so close, you could feel the power of the cars! We also saw a couple of guys plough into the safety barriers...who doesn't like a crash or two! There's one car on that first clip that seems a bit quicker than the others. Is it a Radical or something similar? 55 seconds in.

I like that! :salute:

I bet that's still worth a few grand! They've shot up in value over the last couple of years.

My mistake, I'm thinking insurance documents. For some bizarre reason, they up the insurance group for the Storm. Must be something to do with perceived nickability! Back on thread, I've no knowledge of this car!

So it was only J reg between 2003 and 2005? I guess the guy (or girl!) that owned it during that time had the 'J' reg private plate on it at that time. The same as mine - an 'N' reg car but currently on a private 'G' reg plate.

The J plate will have been private. N reg would fit in with it being a 95 VR6 (and hopefully a Storm!) It should be on the logbook as a Storm if it is I think.

Just seen this post after seeing your post in my thread...the penny has dropped! It's one of those stories that really annoys you as it could happen so easily to any of us. As has been said, it's shocking how our insurance and criminal justice system is set up not to protect the innocent. I hope it all gets settled quickly for you anyway. And, as has been said, lucky that you're all OK. Things like this have a habit of ending badly so I guess that's the silver lining.

That was five years ago he was pondering that! He'll have lost them by now!!!!

I know of a lovely VR6 for sale ?

Clock, oil and outside temp for me. Outside temp more than oil recently, just of of curiosity rather than necessity!!

Has it been lowered? I'm clutching at straws here!!

They're awesome!! Get the non-turbo version and they're cheap as chips to run! :norty:

I think there may be a more up-to-date version lurking on the site somewhere but this is a good start : viewtopic.php?t=5004 Lucky Mum!!!

How old was the elderly lady, if you don't mind me asking?! It obviously hasn't been driven loads but fair play for having a VR6!!!

So what? He and others have tried them, liked them and are enthusing about them, just the same as anything else that works well on Corrados. We discussed / researched them for a year and put aside some money to buy them this winter, so what's the problem? Seems to me Wullie has a some kind of bee in his bonnet about it because he can't afford them and you're just adding fuel to the fire. Neither of you run winter tyres, so why are you even in here? If it's just to say normal tyres work in snow, which they don't, we beg to differ thanks, hence why this thread exists in the first place. Some people spend more on wax and cleaning products than we have tyres, so go and have a rant at them as well and tell them that for the majority of people, regular cheap wax works the majority of the time. And lastly, some people choose to drive their Corrados every day and choose to fit appropriate tyres for the conditions, deal with it. Dealt with it!

At the risk of upsetting a Mod, isn't the point of a 'discussion thread' to allow people to discuss? If not, wouldn't it be a 'statement of fact' thread? Whilst I don't agree with what everyone on here says, surely it's everyones right to be able to say it? I'll get my coat...
