  1. If it's the G60 I think it is, it's being advertised by a trader who bought it for about half that price - I don't think he has any real chance of getting his asking price to be honest!
  2. Some great progress mate :) Really can't wait to see the car all painted and back together.. it'll look terrific!
  3. Think a night meet would be a no go for me to be honest.. it's the better part of two hours for me to get to Peterborough from Coventry and can't get too enthused about that on a Sunday winters night :( I was starting to waver anyway so I think that helps make up my mind :)
  4. Check your options here: http://the-corrado.net/profile.php?do=editoptions Scroll down to "Email Notification of New Private Messages" and check what it's set to. Then if that's enabled, confirm your email address is set correctly, and the forum emails aren't going in the spam folder :)
  5. Would depend on when but I'd try and make it over mate! A weeknight is unlikely as it's quite a trek but a weekend is a possible :)
  6. Excellent - just let me know what you want for it mate and I will paypal you :) Will PM you my address now.
  7. Came out to my car this morning to find a centre cap missing. I know one was missing a clip, not sure if it's that one which has pinged off whilst driving, or whether some scrote has stolen one. Either way - does anyone have one for sale? Thanks.
  8. Not sure on that one mate.. don't watch a great deal of TV these days! But I wouldn't say the Fiat was THAT bad.. it was just extremely flat and when you're duking it out with modern turbo diesel's and so forth, they all get impatient and aggressive as they think you're dawdling when you're really not! *edit* Looks like you're right! http://www.motoringresearch.com/car-news/fiat-500-powerful-enough-hills-says-bbcs-watchdog-1107954951 As they say in the feature though they've done something and retuned the engine which has made it dangerous. Previously (mine was a 60 reg) there were no such problems.
  9. I had a Fiat 500 with the 1.2 engine - it was just too slow. Drove me crazy in the end so sold it after less than a year.
  10. The Up is an interesting little car, but the thing that drew me to the Fiesta and specifically the ST is that it's no slouch - 180BHP from the 1.6 turbo motor. I don't think they do an Up with anything like that kind of performance and if I'm to make do with a 'small car' it's got to at least be entertaining - I think the Up would get pretty tiresome pretty quickly because of the small engine :(
  11. In all my years on here, i've only ever seen one other khaki Corrado, and that was a VR which was stolen and never seen again :(
  12. You can rent a lock-up garage for not too much money - I only pay £25/month for one here in Coventry! Whatever you do, don't sell it - you'll never find another Corrado for sale in the same colour.. it's extremely rare!

    Tidy VR6 on Ebay

    They're supposed to be selling a friends MK1 Scirocco imminently - so be interesting to see that when it goes up for sale :)

    Trying..? As in... it's not going to pass? :)
  15. I believe Tempest / Eric managed to replace his window regulator with a nut / bolt solution rather than riveting - might be worth dropping him an email :)
  16. If you could stomach the cost (shipping, import duty) the TechTonics one is the one that everyone raves about. Otherwise I guess you can't really go too wrong with a custom stainless job from one of those places that offers a lifetime warranty.. it's one part you'd never need to worry about again!
  17. Annoyingly no, there was never a pollen filter as standard. You could buy them aftermarket (Jetex I think used to make them) but think they've discontinued them now :(
  18. Very good of you :) I will update your profile accordingly!
  19. That's very good of you. You can either donate as a one off here: http://the-corrado.net/misc.php?do=donate Or become a forum subscriber with a recurring donation here: http://the-corrado.net/payments.php Cheers.
  20. The other is the spoiler module I think :)
  21. Moved to Off-Topic Chat..
