Makes a nice change to see Europeans getting the better deal for once.. yay for Volkswagen :)

Hah.. ok.. I have seen that car on multiple occasions as its from Coventry :) Tinted blue glass, blue artwork on the side and white imolas.. definately know that car! Eyes are now peeled!!

Nice one, who ever just split this off the "Ugliest C's thread".. I was just digging my way through the Moderator options to try and do that myself :) moG60, Where abouts in Warwickshire are you? I am in Coventry so I will be keeping a look out for you. What reg was it, and do you have a picture?

Oooooh now you're getting me excited, that's my other hobby (apart from my Corrado...) I'm into Linux iptables/ipchains and have a smoothwall running at home on my adsl connection... 8) Don't even start me on VPNs/ipsec/pptp and all that.... I'll get my coat..... :oops: :oops: :lol: Yay.. another Linux user :) I run a bunch of Linux servers for my job, and I am currently in negotiation with my boss to get a Red Hat Certified Engineer course & certification under my belt. Which would be nice.

Too big!! By miles! I'd definately stop at 17's, get a sweet suspension setup to compliment it and leave it at that.. a decked Corrado on somethin like BBS RK's is just right imho.

Hehe... kev is speaking my language. I am currently on a CCNA course which was split up and spread over two years of twice weekly night school.. its driving me INSANE and I wish I had just gone for a fast track or similar style of course. Thankfully we are in the middle of Semester 4 so by Summer it should be all out of the way. Cisco certainly seems to be the field to get into ... a license to print money, if the consultants that come and visit us are anything to go by :)

I am a 'Senior Computer Technician' for City College Coventry (http://www.covcollege.ac.uk) in the West Midlands. I am responsible for a bunch of servers, I help manage the team (kind of *grin*) and I do all the other normal techie jobs as well.

Shaaaaaat it :)

Odd... thought the forum used to thumbnail pictures?

Heres a few photies by the way :

You know, to be honest, I wasn't paying too much attention - i'd had a few beers and was quite half baked and sleepy sitting in the sun :) I think a few ran 16's and 17's - it just looked like they really were not trying at all. Are you planning to go to the next one Ant? I wouldn't meeting ya, and checking out your quick looking G60!!! :)

chuck, A mate of mine has a 306 D-Turbo Sport.. I have to agree that it is a surprisingly quick car, and will show quite a few cars up (gave my Corrado a hard time at lower speeds, but ran out of steam when you got above 90) - I guess, even though it was a diesel, forced induction is the way to go! And as for what to do with the car.. talk about two minds :| Realistically I really should keep a hold of the Saxo.. no way in hell I can afford to put myself into more trouble with another Corrado for a good few years yet. I am umm'ing and ahh'ing on here because I am just terrible at making decisions..

Yeah.. I saw those other Corrado's as well.. took a few snaps which i'll try and post up here in a little while. That silver grey VR looked (and sounded) really nice - and the guy that owned it seemed a pretty chatty guy. Though all of the Corrado's had generally dissapointing runs and I dont know why. They are definately quick cars, so I don't understand why they did so badly. That G60 with the bonnet scoop & Azev alloys didn't really do well at all!

I think thats a good reason NOT to move to Derby :p :p Just kidding mate :)

Well I am aiming just to rent a flat or something for a while.. house prices here in Coventry are similarly ridiculous - and to be honest, Coventry is such a bloody dive, I can't understand why its so expensive!! I might look outside of the city to be honest.. I hate the hustle and bustle so to rent a place on the outskirts would do me great :)

Damnit... no... I gotta wait. I wanna just hang on a few years, get myself into a flat (can't live at home forever) and then look at getting a VR in a few years.

I'll wait and see what happens in the next few months.. I am still waiting on a reasonably large pay rise which I have been promised for ages. If it leaves me stacked with cash, I might ditch the Saxo and either pick up an older Corrado (saw a mint, CCGB member owned one for 2k the other day.. looked ace) or pick up a nice MK2 16v Golf GTI as I have a bit of a soft spot for them as well :) Damnit.. I want to be sensible and run this Saxo but I realise now that the Corrado was a hobby for me which I really enjoyed.. and now I have ditched it, I realise it. Hell, I don't go out a lot or spend money on anything else.. why shouldn't I run a nice car :)

I wondered when it'd show up... shows the wrong picture so I cant be sure, but sounds about like mine : 1994 VOLKSWAGEN CORRADO 2.0 16v, 1994, Metallic Purple with Grey Karman trim, 5 speed, PAS, e/s/r & windows, alloys, alarm, stereo, spoilers, total service history, an outstanding example at. £3,995 . terms. Moseley Rd, Highgate. exclusive Tel: (0121) 446 4656 or (07771) 881509 452 Distance: 15 miles Price: £3,995 *sob* Just seeing all the Corrado's today at the Pod made me miss mine all the more.. the temptation to sell the Saxo and just pick up a cheaper 1.8 16v already is driving me nuts! Argh!!

Well the next one is two weeks away on Sunday 30th - I should hopefully be heading up for that one as well, so maybe we can get a bit of a turn out for the forum?? :) Great day today by the way.. nice to meet & chat to you 2CC...

I'll see you there then!! About to get a lift up to the pod with a few mates, so i'll come and find you guys today! :)

Nigel, We'll have to arrange the VW equivilant of a Red Cross parcel and post you PVW over every month if you are really desperate for it :)

I was always trying to save up to get a Supersprint system for my Corrado but because of all the little problems, never managed to afford one. But they did look like very very nice systems indeed.

Well.. I don't want to slag off peoples ideas at all... but I think a pipe like that would just not suit the Corrado at all. I personally like the look of any stainless system which mimics the original oval style exhaust tip - looks just right on the Corrado. I also rather like the DTM style but no one else around here does... or do they? :)

I'll try and get some snaps of the page with my digital camera tonite (I dont have a scanner) and post em up here.. it really is rather ugly as the picture Nigel posted will testify :)

Jesus... :oops: :evil:
