4 hours, a bath, 2 layers of wax, and an interior clean later.... .... and she's looking like she just rolled out of the factory again. lovely car. got to go back next week to do his brothers vanquish :mad: ...... bummer! ;)

nice how much was that then?? im currently wondering if i should get another vr6..... hmm

AMAZING photos. and the car is ok too

did anyone feel a bit short changed though?? just one decent car report and tons of cocking about! quite funny but i think they are loosing the plot a little

its a funny feeling selling a C isnt it! much like selling a child or a parent (not that i have sold a family member myself... honest gov) hope all works out well for you with the new car

back when i had mine and just before i sold it when it was looking mint i had it parked up on the vw forecort (as there we no spaces in visitors parking) it was next to a nice R32.. after i came back out from the parts dept there were 2 guys looking at it thinking it was for sale and the sales guy had to tell them it wasnt. all 3 then stood around saying what a great car it was for 10 mins or so before i had to head back to work. the salesmans words were 'best looking car vw ever made' think that sums it up

oh and your indicated 150 on the speedo was probably about 135ish in real figures. i never got my vr over 140 and i tried a few times. plus the speedo on them is out by the usual 10% (unless you have altered it of course)

the v8 s4's go on and on and on.. was lucky enough to have a go in one when they came out. 340 bhp and about 300 torque i think. Not as easy to tune as the old s4 though so probably about 360ish if its been fettled with by AMD. still pretty good though. I think they hit 170 derestrited. Had the s3 up to 155 (on sat nav) after it was chipped. got there easy and felt so smooth. modern cars really dont notice speed atall. RAISE THE SPEED LIMIT!

more than likely the earth. i had the same problem when i installed my sub / amp combo and was told to find a better earthing point. that solved my problem also though the ignition thing you got the remote feed from is wrong i think. ignition in on the HU is so the HU only works when the ignition is on. if you have got a feed from that then the amp will be turning on as soon as you switch the ignition on even if the HU is off. your HU will have a dedicated IGN feed and you should use that instead!

phone adrian flux. there your best bet for your situation by the sound of it.

i guess thats the result of living in manchester?? more to the point.... how the F did you get to 25 and not have a car???

well i can forget the m3 idea for now... insurance quotes around £2k still!!!

well i needed a longer test drive really. maybe if i had had it for a whole morning and taken it for a decent thrash i would have appreciated some of the handling. i tried to throw it into some corners and roundabouts but the roads were too busy really. yeah someone else said stick to the 3.0 M3. i've never really been taken with the 200sx to be honest. not sure i really see myself owning one. back to the drawing board i guess... i'll just have to keep plodding round in the pug till i decide! :(

right well i just been over to newmarket for a drive in one... it was a 182 cup so it was very basic... no xenon, no digi climate, no half leather seats, no cruise control. Drove nicely. quite bumpy but thats ok... just reminded me of the crx. didnt really get to throw it round too many corners but the ones i did it felt nice and planted. I thought the interior was ok actually. One of the reasons i sold the corrado is because i was fed up of the rattles and crap way it all went together and i didnt think the clio was any worse. The driving position was nice aswell.... no room in the back though. Im not really any further forwards though after driving one. I think i need to take it on a longer drive before i will know. I definately know that i would want a normal 182 with cup suspension though.. then i would get some of the toys back. Also i got to thinking of all the cars i could actually get for £10k .... i will now start looking at some old m3's i think and maybe some golf tdi 150's as for the gay car comment billinjahg60, i'll ignore that you little fucker. ;) oh and i decided i dont like the orange after seeing it in the flesh.

i dont really want an old car at the moment. something under 3 or 4 years old im looking for now. I have done the whole buying an old car and making it mint twice now and it costs a fortune... fancie something easier for a while.... but still fun. may return to 10 yr old cars in the future... but not yet

yeah ... still like the idea of the clio... i imagine it would be very similar to the crx i had which was an absolute blast!!! out handeled most things! I wonder if i have become to used to comfy driving though?? we will see... test drive in clio tomorrow

seen this... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... %3AIT&rd=1

hate the civic type r!!! hate it hate it hate it... ugly mother fucker! anyway now that is off my chest :) i will look into the golf tdi150 i think... but i'll still go to test drive the clio i think just to see ;)

common as muck golf.... i see 20 of them a day.... but... oh ...wait.... not so many mk V gtis which is what makes em cool.... just like the 182... out of all the clio's you see... how many are 182's

s3 crash details http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic. ... ight=crash the renault 5 is quite old now and alot of improvements have been made over the years. im sure the clio isnt as bad as a 5. i will drive it and see what i think.. and report back. renault do have a good track record for safety though... so i wouldnt have expected it to be much worse than the s3

i appreciate all my previous cars... otherwise they wouldnt have been kapt as long as they were and had so much money spent on them. again a car for the future... but i woulf want a 993 if i was to get any 911 and that takes me into the £20k league

haha been there my friend... had a stunner 20 yr old but she was a bit of a pain in the arse.... most other girls look boring and plain compared to her though :( (good job the current GF doesnt read this board ;) ) BACK TO CARS... cool carss come and go. it doesnt mean you need to keep getting a better car as eventually you will be driving a veyron and thinking... shit.. what next... there are enough good cars out there to provide a steady stream of 1 per year and if you go up and down a bit ...so what true.. fantastic car... but a bit older than i would have liked. if i see a mint one though i wouldnt say no.

im a car enthusiast with an appreciation for the corrado.

oh i get yah... yeah the new shape (clio 3 i think they call it) is just out and is a very good car.. but not hot hatch version yet Jim, indeed... compared to the s3 the corrado was certainly a bit 'trolly esq' i still think its people being too scared to try something new

when you say get a newer one??? the one im looking at is a 2005 54 plate ... cant get much newer... they stoped making them in sept 05
