Hi, do you still have the drivers door? Just need the door, not the card. If so, how much for that?

Oh that would be blinding! Yeah, mine is a 1.8, so they sound mega useful! I'll pm you my address and details, just let me know how much you want for them. xxx

Yeah, 16v'er - yeah, I'm inclined to head myself over to that motorsport place that makes the pretty hoses over at faversham, but then again, I don't really want to slip down the path of 'modifications' and would rather keep her standard, all things considered. So, any suggestions on where I can get my little paws on a used one? Anyone know of a Corrado that's being broken? Ali

Hi All, I'm looking for a rad hose, part no. is 535121101A Is anyone breaking a corrado that can supply me this part, or can anyone suggest where I can get one please? I've got a quote through Europarts of £81, seems somewhat steep to me, but if that's about right from your experience, then I'll guess I'll go with that! I'm happy with a temporary used one for the time being, as I'll spend more dollah on my baby girl in the Spring time! Please let me know if anyone has one as I need it quite soon! Thanks, Ali

Oh the drifting is Amazing... if you get up close when they are doing their thing, it's very impressive the angles that they get with the cars. For me, it's a real 'take your breath away' motorsport, but for spectators as well as participants... But then I do usually blag the best seats- in the judging box! The Subaru teams are on good form at the mo... loving the work of John Mathers and Pro-R.

They haven't looked too closely yet, but they are also gonna give it a winter check.

Hi Jim, I'm not too sure... I haven't got masses of cash to throw at it, so will do the best I can on a limited budget. First thing is remote central locking... cant be dealing with actual keys in locks! It seems harsh, but I may get a new head unit. The original Blaupunkt cassette player is in there at the moment, but I think I want one with Bluetooth. Possibly want nicer alloys as well at some point - the original ones are still on there, but would prefer something a bit dished... It's a struggle, as I don't want to 'modify' it ideally. Ooooh, and it may need a new exhaust at some point soon-ish, I think the current one is on it's way out...

Yes, that is it - Prept... an old old friend told me about them. I'll try to find out more and maybe head down there. As for the jobs - I'm responsible for all the marketing activity for a multi-site franchise group, looking after Nissan, Vauxhall, Chevy, Fiat, Alfa Romeo & Daf Trucks. It's a great job, I love it. I used to do car sales for Skoda & Nissan too. As for the VIP stuff - I look after VIP's and corporate guests (and lots of other stuff as well really) at Time Attack when it's at circuits all over the UK. As a result, I have great relationships with the racing drivers and sponsors etc. It's a lot of fun!

Gerry Atkinson's Time Attack car - Sneaking a 5 minute break! It's a Civic iirc... although I wait to be corrected! ---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 PM ---------- Nope, it's a Seat Leon... observation not my strong point clearly!

Brill, thanks for that, I'll PM him yeah? I will get some pics up soon (although I am rubbish at pictures!) If any of you happen to go to any of the Time Attack / European Drift Championship / Modified Live events, then it will likely be there with me!

Hi All, I'm Ali! A couple of weeks ago I bought my third Corrado - a Black 16v'er, '89, with two little old lady owners from new (quite literally a little old lady - she bought it as an ex-demo, then when she passed away in 2002, it was left to her elderly daughter, whom I bought it from.) As such, it's totally factory standard, which is so nice! It's got a gorgeous book full of stamps, every 6months from new. I love it, especially the heated seats! It's not immaculate - as the previous owner lived by the sea, there is a bit of corrosion on the bottom of the drivers door, and the drivers door handle is broken (anybody got any suggestions for a replacement or a repair kit?) As for me, I work as Head of Marketing for a dealership group (tragically not VW) down in Kent. I also work in Motorsport hospitality doing VIP tours. I've heard that there is a group that meet at Brands Hatch once a month? Any other people? Would be great to hear from anyone! I want to get her up to gorgeous condition, maybe invest in new alloys and tidy the bodywork up, but it won't be a daily runner, as I want to keep the mileage down. Hope to hear from you soon! Alison
