  1. You definitely don't forget owning one. I still peep in my rear view mirror when accelerating to watch the spolier come up! (Obviously doesn't happen!) I saw a Corrado last night coming off the M25 and went to wave/flash hazards etc! Definitely regret not replacing my valver with a VR6...
  2. Had a white early valver, swapped that for a 205 GTi, then got a BMW Compact. Now have a Alfa GTV V6. But I think in the new year I'll be back in a Corrado. I fancy a white VR6...
  3. Looks great on the sebrings kip... Real nice clean car
  4. Real nice car mate, looks very clean. Also, liking the RH's. Nice spec as well. (Looks red to me! - Time to move on isn't it?!!!) What's the plans????
  5. I'll try and find a nice new one for you! It'll be good to the car back before you go away. Thing is at the end of the day, I thought I'd sell mine or take it off the road. But I like the car so much I just bit the bullet and was prepared to pay the potentially huge bill. For the money, nothing really comes close to a Corrado if you ask me.
  6. Got it back last night. Drives like a dream. No more squeaking from the belts, no more water loss. Final cost was £180. So not too bad. Needs to be taxed next week though and I am heading over my agreed mileage so more cost there too! Tyres needed soon too... My mate who was working on the car was amazed at how much attention it gets out on the road. Jon - I am afraid I owe a quid!!!!
  7. Thanks Aide, the car has now been fixed using a 2nd hand cooler and will be back in my possession tonight. Also had: New expansion tank Lid Oil change Filter Fan belt PAS belt Rad flush Premium coolant (the red/pink stuff!) Can't wait! Hate that Citroen!
  8. Just got a call from my mate who's working on the car. Says the oil cooler was "rusted to f**k" and there was a leak from one of the pipes. Doesn't explain the mayo on the dipstick though... The car has been running for 20 minutes and no change to water. I drove it for 10 minutes last night then stopped and I had lost water. The plot thickens...
  9. Really like this mate. Love to have a track day weapon. Did an MG track day as a passenger a couple of months ago. Was surfing eBay for cheap MGF's by the afternoon on my phone! Resisted though! 130bhp is strong power from a 8v too isn't it?
  10. Can't beat a white one! Looks clean too. Edit: You wanna sell that ABT no plate surround???
  11. You're on. Wanna make it interesting? Pound bet?!!!
  12. So, all sorted. Dropping the 'Rado off tomorrow night, will collect on the way home from work Friday. Also having the fan and power steering belts done. Laid Up: The beast:
