Whats the best MPG anyones had out of a Corrado?
Ugly Bloke replied to Pat_McCrotch's topic in General Car Chat
Best I've achieved from my VR is 33mpg, long trip from Devon to Berks. My average is only 22mpg, but my driving is almost totally stop start. Longer trips I use one of the fleet cars. -
I've seen that one on that drive a few times. :)

Blue 16V on a K plate, on the A4 Cromwell road/Earls Court area of London. Around midnight last night: I was piloting our Limo with some tired and emotional party-goers on board. It was a lovely car, looked standard, very clean indeed.

Rado vs Rice : a little test, which do you prefer?
Ugly Bloke replied to The_Dude's topic in General Car Chat
A friends father has a very subtly highly modified turbo version of that Supra. It has something around 550bhp and it is devastatingly quick, with opposite lock on demand. That car pictured is an abomination and very few people would ever want to roll in something like that. -
Bluey/Purple Corrado (VR badge), with extra large/visible radiator and hoses out front, clear lenses at the back. Lowered big time. A4 in the Highway Newlands area of Maidenhead. He waved and flashed lights, stunning looking modifed car.

I assume that it is all trickery and they didn't waste a beetle.

I've spotted three in the space of an hour this morning! :shock: Blue 16V (I think) at the Thicket Roundabout in Maidenhead. Red (not sure what flavour) parked up in the Raymill Area of Maidenhead Then a green 16V near Furze Platt train station. As well as all the others I spotted at GTI festival at Santa Pod last weekend. :D

E46 330d Touring - Your Thoughts/Now Brought
Ugly Bloke replied to iow_corrado_g60's topic in General Car Chat
My brother has a 52 plate 330D touring manual, with all the options such as TV/Satnav, dual climate, cruise, on 18 inch wheels. Lovely car, averages mid 40's and upwards. Fabulous build quality, feels like it will last and last. A bit cramped for space though. -
mulberry or blackberry, M25 anti clockwise at the M1 junction, M reg VR I think. Around 22:00hrs this evening. He was flying! :D
-
Damn, I missed you. Spent most of my afternoon in the office and then at the bank.
-
White N reg (looks superb in white) Corrado, didn't see what flavour, got a wave :wave: on the shoppenhangers road Maidenhead at about 19:00hrs this evening.
-
As is, it is probably worth about £100. Had it been used/a runner with tax and MOT, then £400-500.
-
Yesterday (Saturday 27th) spotted a blackberry I think N reg in Maidenhead on the A4, he was heading eastbound, I was going the opposite way. Flashed lights and waved. My mum was with me in the car, quite chuffed that so many of us acknowledge each other

Spotted 2 Corrado's within 10 seconds of each other at around 19:30hrs today. The first was dark green, it had just joined the M4 west bound at the slough west junction (7) the 2nd one was red and heading in the same direction. I was going the opposite way in a Nissan 200SX, so no waves and no details of the cars either.

Has your 'rado been mistaken for anything?
Ugly Bloke replied to Stevo-M's topic in General Car Chat
3 series compact is a vile little car, how very dare she!! -
I also love my Corrado, this evening, I went to The Ace Cafe in London, via some lanes in Burnham Beeches and had an immense drive with a Honda Accord Type R in pursuit. (there was nothing whatsoever in it) Met some friends in London at The Ace and on the way back on the same twisty dodgy cambered country roads, I monstered 57 plate BMW 330 coupe. 1st time I have ever really given the car some leadfoot treatment & it seemed enjoy it. :D
-
is that the one with yellow alloys ? I didn't notice the wheels. I spotted another C this evening. I went to the ace cafe meeting, the air cooled VW meeting. Saw a G plate 16v in I think helios blue? Had a chat with the owner and his buddy. It was a bit tatty, some rust issues, but it sounded very strong and healthy. Then again it is a 20 year old car.
-
Spotted a yellow 16V on Waltham Road in Maidenhead, it was on a private or Irish number plate LIL???? It was very low, had dark glass all round and dark tinted rear lights. I was in an ex police (long story) white Vectra 3.2V6 estate, so didn't wave or flash for fear of unnerving the driver. It was a fantastic looking 'rado.

I travel around 500 miles a week, mainly Thames Valley, London, Oxfordshire, Essex. I've seen at least 8 different Corrado's in the Maidenhead area alone, only one of them to my knowledge frequents this place. Oddly enough prior to getting one, I hardly ever saw them! :) One of the spotted ones is for sale, I may add another to the collection.
-
I've seen this car from the start line at Santa Pod and North Weald and it is astounding! I think he will be at GTI festival and the London Volksfest, if you've not seen this in action, it will blow your mind. Ditto Mark Gunns Corrado and James Hodgson's MK2 Golf.

Mulberry VR6 spotted thursday 11th around about 19:00hrs on the Oxford ring road. Spotted 2 in one day!
-
Saw a green G reg 16v on Altwood Road Maidenhead at 08:45hrs today. Parked up in front of the new tile place that has just opened. It was immaculate, really well looked after, lovely car who ever owns it.
-
Spotted one today, 10th of June around 19:30hrs. Red, G reg, lowered, biggish wheels, nice rear lights, very shiny, looked in superb conditions, especially on such a wet day. On the A4, near the windsor castle pub in Maidenhead.
-
That wasn't me dude! There must be another in the area then..... I spotted one on Monday 8th of June, parked on a drive in Amersham, dark blue, N reg VR, didn't get anymore details.
