Unsurprisingly, they've got far more Scirocco stuff listed, but I thought this was nicely done and might be of interest on CF. http://www.scirocco.ch/Tuning.aspx

Strange you should say that. Have you taken a look at Club GTI's 'new look'? http://www.clubgti.com/ :)

Indeed. - VAG Round/VAG Rundschrift, although that looks like that Bold or Black version. http://www.fonts101.com/xt_fontdetails_ ... ~font.html [/ font geek :) ]

The Eos isn't the new Rocco/Rado ;)

If one were being pedantic, it's cars that have high carbon dioxide emissions per kilometre that pay more, although that's broadly the same thing.

Oops! f2.8 is a typo. It should be the 50mm f1.8 EF (MkII to give it its full title). Cheap at around £70, but great. No Macro involved anywhere. I solved the pop-up flash shadow problem by buying a Speedlite 580EX :)

If you're after a long lens (and have plenty of upper arm strength :)) it may be worth checking out the Sigma 50-500mm f4-6.3, AKA the 'Bigma'. There's a new DG version out. Not used it myself, but it's very popular with Birders on dpreview.com. Fixed focus, the Canon 400mm 5.6L seems quite good value.

On a 1.6 sensor, I'm occasionally gobsmacked by how good it is. Now this is at f10, I'll admit, but it caught my eye when doing the PP. Then again, the 17-40 cost nearly as much as the 300D did. :?

I've completed indexing my online photo gallery (at least all the shots of VWs :)). That's around 3,000 photos at present. http://www.cybertects.co.uk/gallery2/main.php so you can now search for photos I've taken of your car by simply entering the registration number into the search box and hitting the return key... Makes and models are also indexed, together with most colours and angles of view I've adopted the following scheme for the order of details in the keywords Make (e.g. Volkswagen) Model (e.g. Golf) Spec (e.g. GTI or Scala) Mark (e.g. Mk1, Mk2, etc. with no space after Mk) Colour (e.g. white or Pearl Green where I know the VW colour name) Other interesting details (e.g. Borbet, clear indicators, etc.) Angle (front, rear, side) Use the word detail at the end of your search string to single out close up shots. Use % as a wildcard. Searches are not case sensitive so you can type in corrado%blue%debadged and find pictures of blue, debadged, Corrados :wink: Have fun! :) P.S. For those of you who may have concerns, the reg number is only visible in the search results when you're actually looking for it already. It is also not displayed on screen as text at any other time, so it shouldn't be accessible/indexable by general Internet search engines like Google. I'm also going to post notes mentioning the reg number search facility only to the following sites where I think we know each other fairly well already: - No-Rice - The Corrado Forum - The Scirocco Register - ClubPolo - The London & Thames Valley VW Club - e38 (perhaps)

There's one for sale near Northampton on Autotrader at the moment ... £3250 :) ["Spinners" though :? ]

You might also try the king of bling - rocco-jocco. :) He's based in Swindon and seems to be able to polish or chrome just about anything. He was the guy with the lovely white Rocco on BBSs parked up by the Corrados at e38. Lovely chap His mobile number's in this post selling some wheels. http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=14690

ATS Cups won't fit over G60 brakes. Obvious problems on a VR too with the extra stud :) You might stand a chance with an 8v or 16v though.

Simple (simplistic?) answer: Keep any mods to something that can be fairly easily reversed. My personal opinion is that VW got things just about right with the Corrado and with a few exceptions I've yet to see any major mods that work well without losing the essence of the car.

Well, you did ask :roll: :-P

There's also PassatWorld which conveniently turned up in my server referral logs today. :)

I'm a quiet fan of the Giugiaro-designed Mk1 You could try ukpassats.co.uk ;)

Pretty well how I summarised it on No-Rice in November... ;)

The only roundabout I'm familiar with in the US is at the end of the Arlington Memorial Bridge in Washington DC satellite view Yanks do seem somewhat spooked by them! :D

B) I like the Lancia shot in particular

070 numbers belong to 'anywhere on the planet' forwarding services ("Personal Numbering Services" in OFTEL-speak) and can cost the caller about 50p per minute. Officially, they're not 'premium rate' numbers, which are regulated by ICSTIS and can cost £s per minute. Oftel notes on acceptable usage http://www.ofcom.org.uk/telecoms/ioi/nu ... _070_guide and some proposals for future rules http://www.ofcomwatch.co.uk/2005/10/ofc ... ent-of-070 I found one in a lottery scam email the other day. I dunno if you'll be able to do much about the 70p charge as you did call the number voluntarily and it wasn't linked with any other nefarious/promotional activity that you know of. However, it might just be worth reporting in case it's part of a wider issue with the hanging up instantly thing. ISTR there's been some recent regulation about automatic pre-diallers for telesales teams that often hang up the call or leave long silences before a sales drone can take over. Many of the recipients of such calls report them as harassment cases to the police because that's exactly how some nuisance/stalker callers behave. I suspect OFTEL would take a dim view if they were identifying themselves with an 070 code on caller-id if that were case. Then again, it might just have been a genuine wrong number... Useful link: ukphoneinfo.com lookup reveals the number belongs to a block originally allocated to Cheers International Telecom Ltd. who would have been the telecom operator who issued it to the first user of that number. I doubt they'd be able to give you any other info due to the Data Protection Act as it's nominally a personal line, though. That site's dead handy for figuring out what magnitude of charges to expect when you call a phone number, however. Might help avoid problems in the future.

Please god, yes! I'm getting a crick in my neck trying to avoid being blinded by them :lol:

You'll need to be able to do that if you're planning on going to France (and a number of other countries) any time, as they're illegal, but I guess you knew that already ;)

Ooo! This might be one way for me to buy a G60! :)

See, there's this new-fangled thing called t'Internet that has all sorts of search facilities. It's like a huuuuuge library and you can check what songs sound like if you have iTunes... :lol:
