Yep, its the one thing i brag about to my mates with newer cars. Not only is it reeeealy toasty in there, but it gets that way pretty quick aswell! Does not take long to warm up at all!

... Have a little think ;)

If you managed to order one then you will get one :) however to confirm - yes recieved :)

Ok update time! All going well I should be in a position to get all orders posted out on monday! So any orders placed through the web page before monday morning around 10am ish will be posted out no later than monday afternoon!!! There are not many left now, the paypal button on the webpage is set up to not allow any purchases when they run out. So if your payment goes through - you will get one :) However when they are gone - they are gone. So make sure you order yours before they all go!

I may aswell through my 2p in here, as its all for a good cause. I signed up for the CCGB in what, 2010? As I thought that by doing so, I would be part of a club for the car I love, part of a community I was very excited about, and may also get some exciting benefits like detailed how-to guides, information that I couldnt get elsewhere, access to databases of registration info, something to track down my car or something, I dont realy know - but basically I was hoping to gain something more than what is available on this forum, as I was paying for it. In reality, what I have actually acheived is 3/4 sprinter mags, a card that never leaves my wallet pocket, and a sticker. Now luckily, these mags are simply fantastic and more than make up for my annual membership, however without these - there doesnt appear to me, to be anything worth subscribing for. The forum is pretty much inactive, anything of use is posted on here. The gallery, for sale, group buys, etc are all on here - the regular meets and the place to arrange events appears to be on here, if you need information on how to do something... you check here. I think in reality the only way to make the CCGB a better community and to increase its members is to integrate it with this forum. Most forums have nothing to do with owners clubs as there are normally lots of forums for each car. However in the UK there is ONE Corrado owners club, and ONE Corrado forum. The moderators of each site know each other and have done for a long time. I see no reason why the two could not merge together and add an extra section to the forum for paid up members. Technically its easy to sort out, logistically for users its perfect as everything is on one website, and the CCGB can advertise the fact that they exist very easily when they are on the same forum! Anyway, thats my take on things. I think my membership has lapsed actually, so if someone from the CCGB could confirm this then I am happy to pay up again as you guys need supporting for the effort you put in, however I honestly cannot remember my login for the website as I havent visited for almost a year I reckon. Oh - and I assume there is an email address on the CCGB website to send article submissions to? I am in the process of writing 2/3 right now with a few jobs I have done to mine recently that may be of interest. Hope this hasnt been too negative, and can be read in the positive critique it is intended... Cheers, Meth.

Here's the first copy!

Ive just had a demo back from the printers to check for errors - and it looks great!!!! :cheers: A few small changes to be made and then I will place the order! If you havent ordered yours allready - check out Here to get your order placed!

The calendar pictures were selected from the photo's that were sent by their owners... if people with WIP's dont send in any pictures, then there wont be any in the calendar. My intention for next year is to keep the web page up, and add a submission section to it for people to upload their photo's throughout the year. I will also set up a voting section around october time for people to vote for the photos available and then everyone will have the opportunity to vote on their favourite pics. But thats all for later on. I am sorry you feel left out, however there are only 12 slots available, and I can only work with what I have. Personally I have no problems with an October picture of a Corrado up on axel stands and the engine in a hoist - infact i'd quite like that! But like I said, can only work with what I have. I genuinely hope people are happy with what we have managed to create in a very short space of time. Edit: Also for the record, two years in a row now I have left out my own Corrado to allow space for someone else. So I also feel a little left out ;) But then again I see mine every day, so maybe its not a bad thing to have a break from it. Dont know whether I could cope seeing it outside, and then having to be reminded of it when im inside aswell! :lol:

Ok Sam, ill make sure its clear :)

:scratch: Dont be silly chap, the photo's didnt do your car justice. I have PM'd you anyway, as I dont want hard feelings. Sam - All the reg plates have been removed, I did that earlier today. They are there in the little demo pic, but all removed for the calendar itself. Secondly - yours doesnt have a plate on it anyway in the photo you sent ;)

Me and Mrs Meth spent the afternoon taking bits and bobs apart, hoovering, cleaning, and repairing - before refitting :) It now makes all the same clunks and rattles it used to, but now it smells of vanilla :)

Your not the only one! :thumbleft:

Pretty sure I sent one to Norway last year... was it you? Either way - PM'd with details!

No problems - Thats the easy bit! Its the logistical nightmare that follows that will be the hard bit! Right, after some messing around I have made a payment button for all of this - its going to cost me a bit more with the fee's from it but I think its worth it for anyone that purchases :) It also looks a lot nicer in my eyes than just an email address to paypal money across blindly too. I think you even get a nice invoice and everything :) Primarily though it will help me keep track of the orders and make sure it all goes smoothly for everyone! So you can pre-order your copy now by visiting Here and clicking the familiar BuyItNow button. An order will be placed on Monday 28/11/2011 @ 9am if not before. This order will be placed to match the number of pre-orders I have recieved, I dont want to be left with any left overs :) If however the order reaches 20 before this date, I will order a run of 20 there and then. The plan once again is to have everyones on their doorstep by Christmas Day. Hence why we need to get a move on with it all :)

Im sorry to those who I havent managed to include - the influx on Sunday night was huuuge and I went from having not enough, to having to make some very tough choices! I hope I have not upset anyone! I am in the process of setting up a paypal purchase button which I will host, which will allow me to keep a better track of every order that is placed, and also give more security to the ones who wish to purchase :) This will hopefully be up and running tonight. I am to hoping to get the first run ordered up by the end of this week, in the aim to have it arrive at your doorstep before christmas day! I have also entered in dates for most of the VW Shows planned for 2012 - Which should help a lot of people like me out! So, Here We Go! [ATTACH=CONFIG]50240[/ATTACH]

Ok got quite a few sent across last night, will be flicking through it all tonight, see if we have what we need, then i can start sorting out print options and confirm a price with posting and packing included etc. see if i can get it cheaper than last year :)

Righto, well I said I would be closing entries tonight however I am still short of 4 months! If the interest is not there then I will have to leave it, as there is not going to be enough time :( I will leave the email addy up until the end of the day tomorow I guess, but if there isnt enough interest then that will be that :) So dont be shy! I wont be just including any old photo though, if the calendar is to go ahead, then it will go ahead properly and not bodged together with low res photos just to get something - its gotta be good :) So get sending those pics, you never know - it might be miles better than you thought!

Bump for the weekend :)

Calendar is starting to take shape now! Some awsome photos this year again! Something for everyone, from heavily modded, OEM + , almost completely original, and almost completely covered in snow!! Still have space for a few more months though, so get those photos taken and mailed as ill be wanting to get it all finished early next week! :)

Will be closing entries for pictures at the end of the day on sunday. Could do with some snowy pics for winter months too! Will need to close entries by next week to have any chance of getting it all sorted by xmas for everyone, so if you havent allready, and would like you C featured, mail any pics to the email in the first post :)

If I ever find the next installment I will be sure to post up! lol

Some real, real nice photo's coming in guys! Really looking forward to this now!

I suggest doing a good search before deciding on one. I fitted one to mine just after RTTS this year after my original one jammed open and I snapped it forcing it down because it was raining :lol: However it took me a while to find one that would fit, so I would just make sure first. Each of the roofs are slightly different in their shape, and as a result fit with different effects. Mine gives me a slight increase in windnoise due to the curve of the screen and the fact that the front sits slightly higher than the roof - this is an easy fix I admit, just depends how much you want to play around with it to get it perfect. From what I can remember B4 Passats fit, estate is the one to go for I think, seat cordoba's, toledo's aswell I think? some Ibiza's, I think its the MK2 golf ones that dont, supprisingly, but I could be wrong.

So, just got an email with this in - which made me chuckle :)

Bump! Getting there with the photo's now, so thanks for the entries! Still need some more guys, so if you want your 'Rado featured then email your best photo's to [email protected] ! Entries will have to close very soon to allow enough time to publish etc - so get them in quick :)
