  2. And what a wonderful sponsor they are. May I add also a wonderful insurance company. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. This killed me hahaha. Also. Main point everyone's missing. Is regardless of the outcome. It's only a vote for them to get an idea of what we want. They are not legally obligated to adhere to the votes outcome. So it's all a big distraction from something if you ask me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. haha i know man i was messing haha
  5. Going to try get it going this weekend or next so ill update when i do!
  6. Your number plate legal? :scratch:
  7. haha shes a thing of beauty. Been off the road now for a few years now poor old thing, the old man promised me since we got it we will be putting me on the insurance when im 25, next year! He doesn't really have the spare time or money to maintain it so cant wait to get my hands on it properly. Basically, my dads a coach builder, specializes in Porsches, and old Bugatti's, type 30's and so on, also anything really, Website: http://www.chestertoncoachworks.co.uk/ so about 7/8 or so years ago, a guy who he builds allot of porches for, a collector, invited him to his house to look at his full collection, walking about there was this huge thing with a cover on, dad asked to have a look at it, pullled cover off and behold it was the 411, he won it in an auction years before. Dad liked it, he didnt really care what happened to it, so said he could have it for what it owes him, about 3k. Me and the old man got the money together and behold, it was ours!!!! being a 6.5ltr, i was never able to get insured on it (despite still having the odd cheeky drive). but he assured me, when i was 25, i would be. Thats now next year!!!!! With regards to the value, little did the seller know when he sold it, it would go on to be one of the most desired Bristols there is, Bristol contacting all 411 owners wanting to buy them back and re sell them with modern electronics etc for over £100k. It went on to beat the classic DB5 Aston as classic car of the year at the footman james classic car show a year or so back and has gone from strength to strength, ones in a similar condition to ours going for anywhere around the 40k mark. and going up and up and up. for a car from the 70's its mental, 350bhp, 6.5ltr V8, top speed just shy of 150mph, all electric windows, in its day was an absolute monster, and the noise the engine makes has to be heard! Like i said, cant wait to be insured on it, the corrado being a 2 seater, that will be the 5 seater of choice for any lifts or events that need a few passengers!!!!
  8. Seats are really tatty but going to get them re-trimmed as a Christmas present from the other half [emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  12. He's only gone and done it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Starting a EU Ref Thread, dear lord
  13. didnt all go to plan, was meant to have all the food stands and show and shine in that bottom field, but the day before setting up everything was getting stuck and all the ground was completely water logged so they had to improvise and have food stands up the top in the car park and show and shine in the wrong area. but yes, i agree will get better with time, being friends with the organizers had a good chat with them yesterday and they said the same, pressures off now the first ones done so hopefully up and onward for the foreseeable future.
  14. [ATTACH=CONFIG]84040[/ATTACH] SOOOOOOOOOOOO much time for that rear defuser!!!! Cars incredible mate! Really nice to see it all being done so thorough. do you have any pictures of the rear end with that defuser from a bit further back? and Would you make another one? haha
  15. Picked it up from OBD-works last night. Frustratingly running really well. Although still under powered due to the cylinders low compression but starting and idling and so forth like new. Running superb. Also seating position in the RECAROS is freeKing awesome. Feels so nice. Managed to get them to sit a lower than the factor Corrado ones which anyone who's fitted after market seats will know isn't easy. With the harnesses and stuff though and how supportive they are feel so secure in the car gives you waaaay to much confidence haha. Such a shame the head or gaskets gone and it's now got to go off for another month or so. Just want to drive the bloody thing. Did have a little blap in it yesterday although I know I shouldn't of. Couldn't resist. Will get some better pics of the seats and stuff when I give it a clean before stealth. Took the little pit bike for a blast aswell. I got to many toys haha.

  16. 192, thats a bitta me that!
  17. Same Jim, miss it like mad, been of the road since september, really gets you down. Thats sh it about it needing another re-build! Bloody things. After all that work though should be running amazing. with the fact theyve had it since January in mind, i might need to start thinking about cancelling mine and the misseseseses holiday to Leiden to MIVW. This years just been one disappointment after another. still, better the head went or gasket, now and i got it nice and early rather than half way across holland. Fingers crossed for you mate!!!!!
  18. Yer let us know which ones so we dont waste our money entering the show and shine. haha Awesome work, and i second what Jim said, doing the Corrado and enthusiasts proud!!!
  19. Mines going over there Saturday morning. Hopefully going to be finished by August as it needs to take me across Europe haha. Poor Vince. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
