Toohottotrot

Not quite, one in the garage and a carport will be built before the winter :)

Mahoosive alright! The lowest car is the Mk1 rocco, lower than the MX5! (oh and I got the belt tensioner yesterday thanks swompy :)

Just finished my driveway so I can park my toys with ease now......Who said the Lupo was a small car?:scratch: [ATTACH=CONFIG]48552[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]48553[/ATTACH]

I have a set of In-Pro rear lights for sale, the red and clear type if they are any use? Mj

I still want one. Thanks :)

That's very true lol!

http://www.trimsport.co.uk ..........£15 but no idea how good they are.

Steve it scares me to death! lol Very fast, very light and 34mpg!

How about G-Lader on a 1.8 20 valve? Here's a pic of my mk1 Scirocco [ATTACH=CONFIG]48484[/ATTACH]

Insured mine with Peter James a few weeks ago £240 fully comp VR6, wheels, exhaust and springs declared.....includes full UK and European breakdown cover on a classic policy membership of CCGB required.

Well I'm sat at home, got back in the early hours from my 1040 mile drive. Péage well and truly spanked Pete!!!! Took it steady up to Lyon cruised at around 80ish still showing nearly 32mpg! Hit lots of stationary traffic around an hour south of Lyon and through Lyon itself (as usual) which cost me around an hour and a half. Stopped for half an hour near Dijon, fueled up even though it was showing over a quater full with just over half way to go. Swift sandwich on a glorious hot summer afternoon and back into the pilots seat! Ok got confidence in the cars reliability now, so picked up the pace! Sat at 100mph with several trips past 120.....just to make the point to the odd Porsche etc! Passed a couple of stationary police cars at over 100.....bugger! Got a look but they did not chase.....phew!!! So France was conqured in 11 hours (Nice to Dunkirk) and the Corrado returned 30.2 mpg! Not my best time but then traffic was busy, have previously done Nottinghamshire to St Tropez in a shade under 14 hours non-stop driving time, on more than one occasion.....but this was the first time in a Corrado :) To your question on the Air con, Pat: Air is nice and we have used the Lupo on a couple of trips which has this. But to be honest we don't use it that much as we love the heat and it's not that hot! Leather seats look nice but boy are they sweaty! We have grey cloth :) Wendy......driving at full pelt with the windows down, don't forget to tilt the sunroof too! :) I have owned and driven many fast and expensive cars over the years since I sold my last Corrado. Porsche, Ford V8'S to name just two. But nothing feels like the 'rado! Not sure what it is "Je ne sais quoi"......possibly? ;) We looked back at the car as we ate lunch in the rest area, sat among modern Euro box's, low and mean looking it stood out! I laughed as the phrase "lower than a dachshunds donger" came to mind! lol So to sum up the Corrado ate the miles with ease and relative economy. Is it good to be back in a Corrado after 9 years away......hell yes!!!! All I have to do now is buld me a brand new one........watch this space!!! :) Mj

Just about to load up the Corrado, setting off for home in a short while. Slide into the drivers seat for a non stop 800 mile drive up to the ferry port.....usually around 9 hours!

Do your neighbours ask why you want more than one car? Mine do, they get very puzzled!

Stella is that one of them funny looking cars? Or is it now a beast that looks like its gonna eat the road and swallow small animals in it's path! ;) Oh and welcome to the club! :)

Mines never been past 120c and that was yesterday on a long steep climb on the autoroute. So not sure if 125c is ok? Perhaps others can shed some light?

I've only owned my VR for around 8 weeks, I'm on holiday in southern France with it at the moment. The daily temperatures are around 29c and the oil temp is sitting at 110c. It climbs to around 114-116 in traffic jams (of which there are many here in Nice).

Back from France.....Should be there! :)

Yep it does turn a few heads, even among the exotic stuff around here. The aftermarket exhaust helps, I love to blip the throttle in crowded areas......I'm just a hoon at heart! ;)

We got this free with Peter James insurance. Check AA or RAC through "Top Cashback" website. Some years ago I worked for the RAC for one summer, bringing cars back from Europe......It costs thousands to do this, so the cover is cheap at the price.

"a brown funny looking car !" Are you sure it was a Corrado you were looking at and not something like a Nissan Figaro? ;)

Yep, totally........you would all hate it! lol!!!! Oh and that's not me in the pic.......Some Lupo GTI driver that tagged along for the ride! ;)

Had a blast along one of my favourite roads in the world today, the N98 coast road toward St Tropez. Lots of twists and turns coupled with a few sheer drops! Spent a hot afternoon on the beach as the Corrado's ambient temperature readout confirms :) Only one drawback, these 40 series tyres coupled with French roads........I think I lost all my fillings!

Parked the Corrado by the beach today, in as much shade as I could find. Spent 3 hours on the beach got back to the car, turned on the ignition and the oil still read 50c.....hot day! :)

No it's got 73000 on now as I'm on holiday with it in the south of France at the minute!........Everything in the world is for sale! :)

My aqua blue VR6 lives in Malvern too :)
