Looks like Dark Burgundy Pearl to me. LC3U

U really need tuition do understand what to do with that amount of power - if you read the BMW drivers comments on the forum - it's clear he's unsure of what to do and had never driven a manual car - so was unsure about exactly what to do with the sequential shift. Do you remember Clarkson - testing the Koeneggsegggggg's top speed on the runway - he had to have huge BRAKE signs put up as your perception of the speed you are doing is changed due to the size of the runway. This probably played a part too.

aye and Nick Hogan had a racing licence - so should know a fair amount of car control.

Here here, I think you should be able to drive fast cars but you need to be responsible and advanced driving courses would help - but no son of mine would be in a 500bhp car aged 18!! :shock:

About the driver on the forum:- Another member expressed concern about Ammirato's maturity. "t's just disturbing to know, if you're for real, that an 18 year old who is asking these questions about a 500hp car is driving the same streets I am. I don't have anything against young guys driving nice cars, but an 18 year old behind the wheel of an M5 is what accidents are made of," he wrote. Ammirato responded at 5:33 p.m. Friday that he was responsible. "I completely understand where you are coming from assuming that I am irresponsible ... that is definitely understandable. I do sometimes make bad decisions but I am young and I do drive safe and I will not endanger the lives of others." A member from Australia again cautioned Ammirato to be careful. "My only bit of advice matey -- If you crash in a big way expect to be on the news," he wrote. "Enjoy and resist the temptation to drag others at the lights." Ammirato responded, in his last post, at 9:02 p.m. Friday. "Thanks guys, don't get me wrong I never said I didn't respect your wisdom," he wrote. "[T]hanks for the welcome and I am looking forward to getting to know you guys better ... Josh."

I think we need these reminders to slow down - there's a lot of bravado and talk about - "how fast have you gone" and "what have you beaten in your car" threads - which I have always steered clear of - these threads can give ideas to the "invincible" young teens with fast cars. Most car forums could end up with a repeat of this incident.

18yr old, 2008 M5, after a party - goes to an airfield with his mates and flies off the runway and crashes into a tree! He was posting on the M5 forum before accident about how to go faster - name American M5:- Before accident:- http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/showth ... p?t=111454 Forum's reaction to accident:- http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/showth ... 454&page=2 Video of police at site - NSFW links on page http://www.totallycrap.com/magazine/com ... bmw_crash/

I still use those guys! :lol:

Mine sounds like a Harrier jumpjet - it's so bad that I was having a cup of tea in the house and a neighbour knocked the door and said my car had just started running by itself outside! :lol:

great - colour is fantastic!

Scumbags - badluck mate!

Rodders is your man!

pm Vr6paul. He had the 2.7 biturbo quattro a few years back.

try a bit of white grease-that's not a euphemism! :lol:

Really does look fantastic - been meaning to do my engine bay for ages. This might spur me into doing it! How long you had your Corrado matts? I've had mine for a year or so - it's fun trying to keep the white Corrado script clean! :roll:

Nice pics - Corrado looks cool. Bling on the wheels!

Midnight Blue maybe? Any photos?

top one for me too!

Sorry - I thought it said £146k! DOH! That does change things a bit!

Personally I'd wait. Corrado prices are at an all time low and will hopefully pick back up a bit nearer spring. Selling it now would mean £1500 if you're lucky.

Jesus - that's terrible. Had to be aqua blue didn't it!

Are they? I thought Sherry and Bordeaux were different?

Well it's happened to us all at some point :roll:

Any interior shots?

It's pretty crazy - the Corrado was the most modern car that I ever had when I bought it but now I've had it for 4yrs - it's the oldest too! Mine is 15yrs old - can imagine still having it in it's 20s though!
