On Friday 5th of June around about 14:00hrs, saw a N reg one in white, on the A4 in Maidenhead, heading from the river to the town centre. N***ERW number plate I think, driven by a bearded more mature gentleman. I was in a Nissan Terrano, so no waving.
-
Yup that was me! I've been spotted :clap:
-
Just spotted a lovely VR6 in blue (I think M reg) it was in Maidenhead, going towards Cox Green, at about 14:00hrs today. Got a wave from the 2 guys in it and heard the lovely growl of his car (maybe filter/exhaust mods?) I thought I'd seen all the others in and around the Maidenhead area.
-
Red G60 spotted in Farnham Royal Bucks on Friday night around 19:00hrs. I think I've seen this same car previously at the almost exactly the same place.
-
At around 14:30hrs today, I saw an N reg VR6 in white, parked up in the Maidenhead Halfords car park. Clean looking car. I am spotting a few when out and about, but rarely anyone from the forum.
-
So he had one of the other 5 Corrado Campaigns! Well, well well. :)
-
I spotted a Corrado vr in green at the Braywick Rd fuel station. I was not in my C at the time. Chatted to the young lady at the wheel, her other half is also on here (Can't recall the user name she gave to me.) I've seen three C'd this weekend.
-
I wasn't working at Santa Pod this weekend. Weddings to attend. I did about 180 miles this weekend in my C ans spotted two others! 1. Just heading south out of Aylesbury en route to Whipsnade zoo, about midday on Sunday, I spotted a classic green C, heading in the opposite direction. We waved and flashed lights 2. Then on the M25 anticlockwise, at the M40 junction at midnights, I was overtaken by a C, he was flying and exited the M25 onto the Oxford bound M40. He/She did acknowledge me, if you're on here, then you have a faulty brakelight.

Someone's got a little too excited over the Top Gear episode

Maybe the queen herself is on the log book? -
We as a family have been in this area since 1975 and we know of several major accidents on that road. It may one day become a 40mph limit. Anyways, good to see your car again.
-
That point intrigues me too. If she is a drink driver, I hope they show the book at her I hope that the car does get sorted if mechanically possible. I still suffer from a neck injury from a car crash (passenger) in 1992

IMHO, the Z4 is a shockingly ugly car, I'm not sure I care how it drives when it looks so ugly. The 350Z while not being beaten as badly with the ugly stick, is about 250KG's too portly. I think you should dig deep and get a 996, or a Cayman, or a Boxster, or an Honda S2000. All just my opinions.

oooh ooh me again !! you like the new wheels ? just coming back from a long stressful day at work and being extra careful of that bump just after the left turn that i grounded on a while ago doing just 65mph :( so thats me spotted just twice and both by you !! We are in the same town, it is only a matter of time before I spot you while I'm in my Corrado :) . I do see a few around the Maidenhead-Slough-Windsor axis of evil, we should meet up some day. Twice I've spotted you now, once on foot and then as a passenger in someone else's car. We were flowing in opposite directions, so I didn't get a chance to clock the new wheels. The car does look very shiny indeed, good work. That road has bumps the full length of it, I'd never do as much as 65mph on it, many many years ago, I lost a school chum in a motorbike RTA at that same spot. :(

Saw a grey G60 on the Windsor-Maidenhead road around about 16:30hrs today, was with my sister in her A6 Avant. Number plate was something like M***LPG
-
This was further west than Cranford dude, this was in Maidenhead.
-
I had a Honda Accord estate for a couple of months, 54 plate 2.4 litre auto estate. Well equipped with full leather, dark wood, unfathomable factory sat nav, loads of electrical toys, bullet proof build quality. I sold it to finance the Corrado and to feed myself.
-
I saw a blue VR6 Corrado in Witney Oxfordshire today, around about midday, had aftermarket back lights, the number plate was M***TAW. Does someone else spotting a Corrado on my behalf count? :lol: My sister saw one today, on the A4 Bath road, mid afternoon time, she said it was a similar colour to mine (probably blackberry), at first she thought it was me in mine!
-
Earlier this afternoon, there was a red G plate 16V in the car park (grove business park Maidenhead), when I popped out to do the school run (late again) I saw the driver getting in and as I was in mine, we exchanged waves. Slim youngish guy, blondish/red hair, any one from here?
-
Spotted 2 this morning. First was a blue VR6 on an L plate, with some aftermarket wheels, on the Oxford ring road, heading from Witney towards London. The next one was on the return journey in almost the same place, dark red (mulberry possibly?) on an N plate, also enough time to spot the VR6 badge. I wasn't in mine, so no waving headlight flashing etc.
-
They are all products of their time, the Prelude and especially the Probe have aged badly, very badly. Nothing these days has pop up front lights. I reckon a few details on the Calibra and Corrado (window frames, lights, size of alloys etc) could make them look like 2009 cars. I think forget the Vauxhall GM hating, the basic shape has held up pretty well. The Corrado certainly has retained it's looks, compare and contrast to the nowhere near as nice new Corrado.
-
I spotted another Corrado! Dark blue L reg VR6, on the A4 Bath Road in the middle of the Slough industrial estate. Around about 19:00hrs this evening, had clear rear lenses and an aftermarket exhaust, as it was very very loud. Couple of youngish lads were heading towards Slough. Anyone on here?
-
what route do you take ? i've spotted a red 'un a few times near the windsor relief road, always ignores me :( My regular route takes me from Altwood area of Maidenhead to White Waltham, but I also drop off a mates daughter at school in Marlow somne days. Then add my work travels, I get a good few chances to spot other Corrado's. Only seen one other forumers car out on the road, so most of the others are probably not aware of our existence.... I'm about to head out to Beaconsfield, I'll kep 'em peeled. :wave:

I spotted 3 today, 2 stationary and one on the move. 1. Parked up near SGT garages in Taplow Berks, black 16V outside a workshop. Doesn't look like it has moved recently. 2. A red G plate one, on Waltham road, sounded like a G60, got a wave and lights flash. 3. Parked up on the edge of Larchfield, an N reg VR6 in blackberry, with grey leather, tidy looking stocker. I cover about 20-25K per year, pretty anywhere in the UK and a few continental trips chucked in. Gives me plenty of opportunity to spot cars.

Spotted an L reg green 16v on the M4 at Slough heading eastbound at about 19:00hrs this evening. Drove alongside him for a while, waved and exchanged grins. Awesome looking car dude.

Spotted two Corrado in the space of 15 minutes this morning. 1st one was in the Farnham Road slow, he was heading northbound towards Beaconsfield, I was going t'other way. It was a G plate dark blue 16V and the guy gave me a wave as I was in mine. :) 2nd one was on the M4, close to the Slough Central/Windsor junction, heading westbound (we were heading eastbound to London), it was mulberry, immaculate and it was absolutely flying. Even going the opposite direction I could tell he was doing big numbers. :clap:
