Cross between scirroco, corrado and lotus esprit

You can tell there are many shared design elements that have somehow been passed along James.. I always loved the back of the Corrado because it reminded me so much of the DeLorean :) -
Oh, and by the way, feel free to take the avatar if you like it! I'll find myself another from Futurama :)

Well basically if I haven't sold the Saxo then I will come down in that. If I have managed to sell the Saxo, then i'll either try and get a lift with a mate and see if I can get them to come along for the day, or I will try and borrow a car off one of them. One mate of mine has bought a great little 1.4 16v Corsa for his wife, but she can't actually drive yet (still learning) so its just sitting on their drive.. if I ask nicely and offer to fill it with petrol and wash it or something, he might let me borrow it. We'll see.. but I will definately be there one way or another :)

Knowing that Darren does G-Lader rebuilds at such sensible prices means that I think I can include G60's in my Corrado hunt whenever it is I get on the case. Darren - what is your current waiting list / turnover like? I heard stories of places like Jabbasport with huge queues to try and get G-Laders rebuilt?

Its quite fiddly unless you really know what you are doing - you need to have a video capture card installed in your PC, or in fact a TV card would probably have the connections you need to do it. Then you need some decent software like Adobe Premiere or similar to capture the bits you want, and to trim off the bits you dont.

lol.. he's a bit of a distance away mate :)
-
I think you misread my post Chris.. I just reworded it, so have another butchers :)
-
No Chris.. i'm saving my CF stickers for when I get a Corrado mate :) As for Woburn.. still not sure how I am going to get there IF I manage to sell the car... no interest in the car as yet, but it goes into the Autotrader mag on Thursday. So we'll see.. i'd like to sell the Saxo ASAP. If I do sell the car, then I might go begging to a few friends to either come to the show with me, or to loan me a car or something. I'll be sure to post to let people know what car to look out for though as I am going to try my very best to get there regardless of whether I own a car or not at the time :)

Ew my gawd!! Not my cuppa tea! :( -
To which fluid do you refer? Brake fluid, coolant?
-
I'll be taking my digital camera chaps so I will get a whole bunch of pictures for the forum :) I'd get some for the CCGB as well, but with Jeremy Bromley & John Munyard there, i'm sure the picture side will be totally covered :D
-
Yeah.. think long and hard before you do it insurance wise. It'll cost you dear in the long run! It might be better to just save up for a month or so and then get it sorted.
-
I take it the other guy was cool about the crash then as he was a VW driver :D Sucks though.. gonna cost you a few hundred to put straight! :(
-
Noooo... wut happened dude? :(
-
15,400! Blimey.. it hasn't even been run in yet!! :D
-
Yeah... though its kinda rare to not get one with a sunroof.
-
Yeah.. looking really sweet there :) I take it that it will eventually have a bonnet / hood? :D
-
The campaign interior kicks ass :)
-
Chris... well the problem is if I do sell the Saxo, then I wont be going to the CCGB day! I only just realised this after putting the ad up on their website. My folks are away on holiday for two weeks in a week or so's time, so i'll have no other car to borrow nor will I have transport to get myself out and looking for a Corrado in time. I'd love to convince my Clio 172 owning mate go with me if I do manage to sell my car but I doubt he'd be interested.. i'll let you all know nearer the day whats going on though.
-
Yeah.. Oichan is a member here :)
-
Well if you make it to the CCGB day then you'll get your chance at scarin me! :D
-
Well this is the thing.. I wouldn't mind a chance to try out the other C's to see where I wanna go. Always wanted to go in a G60 to see if you really can hear the supercharger whistling away over the top of the engine - and to see how much power they offer over the 16v's! I'll have to ask a few people nicely at the CCGB day at the end of the month ;)
-
Wonder how easy it'd be / how expensive it'd be to get a trim shop to clone it? :) I like the campaign interior because of the fact its a bit too much for some people, but that it gains instant recognition with most Corrado enthusiasts..
