  1. Had my sub 2k VR6 for a year now and has run faultlessly no heartache whatsoever........must admit though mine is one of the ones on Pistonheads at the mo but just got too many cars hence the sale.
  2. You could go completely mad with this - http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2552432.htm
  3. Pass arrived this morning, looking forward to meeting you all on Sunday. Fingers crossed that the weather is as good as last year.. Aiming to get there for 9ish.

    Hi

    Hello and welcome, very nice looking car you got yourself hopefully well worth the wait....Are you over in NI or on the mainland????
  7. Try Need to insure Tel: 01623 720207 I had a quote of them last year for the Corrado a very reasonable £280.
  8. Just be aware of this before parting with any cash:- Taken from the Parkers website (Please note: All cars registered between March 2001 and March 2006 that produce more than 225g/km CO2, will temporarily join Band K in 2009 and 2010.) The 530i with a CO2 of 229g/km is £260 a year to tax at the mo......but if they go into there correct tax bracket then your looking at Band 'L' which is £445 a year !!!!
  9. Originally from the small village of Glan Conwy now lurking around Conwy........and you?
  10. Hello and welcome to Corrado ownership from one North Walien to another........I'll keep my eyes open for you.
  11. Not a valver good old VR6 power... ---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 PM ---------- Just down the road in Conwy
  12. Had to use the Corrado to go to work the other day. So a 200mile commute from North Wales to Swindon, mixed bag of roads, dual carriageway, a-roads and the M5. Thinking the worse I was expecting to have to fill up in Swindon for the return - not to be and the old girl has now got 420 miles on the trip and still going !!!!! Begining to wonder if the Audi Tdi is needed!!!!
  13. Blue J reg 16v parked on the prom in Rhos-on-Sea this afternoon. Looked very nice and standard.
  14. Just seen these on e-bay, and in your area. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-VR6-Engine-Plastics-Covers-Full-Set-/290569636826?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item43a74ccbda
  15. Hats off to you. Had a look round your car on Sunday and it's looking very good. Massive improvement to what it was when on sale. Just goes to show what a bit/lot of TLC can do. Hopefully get the chance to say hello in the summer shows.
  16. Have a go with Need To Insure very helpful staff and offered me a very good quote.
  17. Just out of idol curiosity how complicated is it to convert a 2.0 16v to a VR6. Is it as simple as a straight engine, running gear swap?
  18. To be fair he has got it up for £2495 or make an offer..........Problem is I can't find a way of offering to take it off his hands if he gives me £2495.
  19. Next year we will have to look at sorting out a Corrado stand !!!!!
  20. Don't know if its any help but I have one stored in the boot of my Golf GTi (side on)...
  21. This has got to be the steal of the year......Didn't stay up for sale long (couple of hours !!!!!!!!!!) Anyone on here the VERY LUCKY BUYER. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2765092.htm
  22. Thanks all for a great day. Good company, amazing pastie (thanks again Swompy's mum), sunshine and cars, what more could you want. 385 mile round trip (ish after the mini diversion on the way home) and still a little bit left in the tank !!!! I've spoken to Oz and he got home fine and it is now nicely tucked up on the drive after his missus and neighbour pushed it on whilst he steered!!!! Thanks again and see you all again soon. Cazza shame about the VR as it looks half decent in the pics.
  23. Cheers Jake, Will speak to Oz tonight and meet up with him somewhere.....(and try and keep up with the VRT)
  24. Any spaces left. Big bro (ozowen) has been asking if I fancy coming. Don't thing I have anything planned for Monday so the Corrado could have a nice run from N.Wales!!!!!! Cheers Baz
