    Wonder if it's gone to a trader and we'll see it for sale at like 13k in a few weeks time?

    37,000 miles! Can't be many left lower than that now. Get it bought Andy :)
  3. World is your oyster at that sort of price range :) It does really depend what you need from the car despite the limited mileage - do you need some kind of practicality? Do you have a family?
  4. Just a run on the rollers. It's still worth the price but not really if it'll cost you a tank of fuel to get there and back!
  5. Been on it for some of the morning and it all seems to be working pretty normal (fast!) to me.
  6. Jim - Fiesta ST (if I have to run at the end as my car won't be the VR6, then no worries).
  7. Up for popping along in the ST and happy to roller it if they struggle to make up the numbers. Be interested to see what a bone stock ST is putting out :)
  8. Nice spot! Like those.. can't say I've ever seen them before?
  9. Likewise Andi - I don't run into this issue at all, and I use just about every browser going on both MacOS and Windows on a daily basis. It's really weird how it seems to be affecting a small number of users.
  10. Love Ice Grey Violet - one of my all time favourite Corrado colours :)
  11. It's a real mystery and doesn't seem to be an uncommon issue. My VR does it!
  12. Again I just want to say I entirely agree here and am sympathetic to those who are going to be affected.. redundancies are never a nice thing to have to go through, especially if in a particular region where it's the primary type of job and it'll just dry up overnight leaving you with very few options :(
  13. I'm extremely sympathetic for the people who are going to lose their jobs here as it's not their fault, and as you say it's political. But it's hard to feel sorry for the companies involved, and I'll be frank.. where was the sympathy for the motorist or the average joe from UK based oil producers when the prices were through the roofs? I don't think it's any secret that the oil industry has enjoyed extremely healthy incomes over the last few years with extremely high prices at the pumps, and they just sat back and raked it in. 6 months of cheap fuel and the entire industry is on it's backside already? That's the nature of business when you work in such an industry - when times are great, they're great. And when times are bad, they're bad. People involved in the industry earn extremely well but the trade off is that markets can change, and things can dry up overnight. Surely anyone who goes to work in such an industry must understand that it's never guaranteed to be a secure, high paying job for life?
  14. Already at that price in a few places. Even saw 97.9 mentioned online somewhere in the UK today. What a time to be alive!
  15. So 1pm at The White Horse (LE15 8PS) on the 1st of Feb..? :)
  16. It really does say a lot for the Corrado that it brings you back even with an E46 M3 - a car that I always assumed would leave cars such as the Corrado nothing more than a distant memory, rather than something you wanted to come back to. Welcome back anyway and good to know this has gone to a good home!
  17. Mystic Blue? Aqua Blue surely as Mystic Blue was only used on Storms, when it came to the Corrado.
  18. They also re-revised road tax again in 2006, so if you happen to have an R32 Golf registered during or after 2006, you'll be paying £485 or €620 per year. For reference the road tax on a Lamborghini Murcielago of the same age or an Audi R8 5.2 V10 is only £500... so running an R32 of that era seems quite unattractive purely from a road tax point of view!
  19. Good work :) I'm utterly crap with the spanners but once I got stuck in, even I found it fairly straight forward. The hardest bit was getting the bumper back over the wheel arch liners... a finger destroying experience!
  20. It looks like Pasta or something?! What the hell?
  21. Check these guys out - they can re-coat headlight reflectors: http://www.dual-metallising.co.uk
  22. That's exactly why I removed it. Didn't think posting your advert in other general discussion threads was cricket.
  23. I really would love to have a go at selling cars.. not sure but I just found both environments in the programme really interesting. Naturally the supercars appeal more, but I thought both were really appealing for some reason!
  24. I dunno.. guess as you're not actually selling them, general car chat is ok. They're pretty cool!
  25. I see Mr Cheesewire has stepped in to give some un-sugar coated appraisals of someones opinions :) lol :)
