  1. Corrado not back on the road so will be in the Octavia. Boo :(
  2. Stunning. Absolute Corrado perfection.
  3. Mine has been a weekend warrior for a while now but debating returning it to service as a semi-daily and supplementing it with a 125cc bike for tooling to work, etc. Not sure yet though!
  4. Given the relatively little effort involved in draining and refilling not sure I'd bother mixing the coolant anyway and just replace the lot.
  5. It's annoying they said that. Revell don't make them though :( They made them... as in past tense and trying to get hold of them now is really difficult and expensive!
  6. Not sure on G13.. Not seen that myself yet but can't go wrong with G12++ :)
  7. Hey Asim.. long time no see. Hope you're well :) Still plenty of saddo's around who never got over / moved on from Corrado ownership!
  8. Indeed. Temperature is supposed to climb quite significantly overnight Wendy and be up to about 8 degrees by tomorrow. No chance of any snow being left on the ground by Saturday!

    Cheap VR6 storm just appeared in the classifieds..

    Bargain?

    Who the hell would have paid £1,100 for that!! It'd need new EVERYTHING on the drivetrain side.. the interior is probably a mouldy swimming pool, god knows if the engine would ever even turn over again. Insane.

    G60's have the rarity factor though... they're older, they made less and more have been destroyed through poorly executed attempts at modification meaning good unmolested ones are really not a common sight!
  12. Nice to meet some new faces and the regulars. Good venue I thought too Wendy but glad you booked! Look forward to seeing this beast of a Corrado if you make it up to another meet sometime one step!

    Is this the one that's basically not got tax or an MOT so a road test will be impossible? It does sound worth a look but, as I say, only if you can get it for a very good price... but impossible to say whether it'll be any good until I go look at it.

    I live very near to Hinckley but am a little short on time at the moment - though may be able to fit in a visit on Sunday to have a look at it if that'd be any good for you?
  15. It's the same as any pre-2001 car with an engine over 1549cc - currently £121 for 6 months, £220 for 12 months. This information took me 20 seconds to find on the DVLA website.
  16. Welcome to the forum! Seems to be a hell of a lot of new users signing up at the moment... the Corrado market must be picking up!

    Originality can count for a lot and as I say if you can haggle a decent price then it's still worth looking at.

    Agreed with David.. there are potentially a few bills there and I'd be surprised if there is history for something like the G-Lader (but I guess you never can tell) - either way I'd certainly not offering anything over three figures for it.
