Oh good god I wish I had 600 quid knocking around.....

Beautiful.

Thanks for all your replies guys!!! I love it on here. You are all so helpful!! I can get used to this!!! X

Thank you Scarlet, I have looked at a few but gave up, I have another car so it's not like it was essential to insure. My parents have insured him so that I can keep him going and they will use it as a weekend car for now until I can get the money together to get the work done :) Gracie x ---------- Post added at 9:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 9:23 PM ---------- That's not bad, most companies won't even look at me because I am 23 with a modified 2.9 V6! Most wanted at least 1000 which when I have another car with an engine half the size for half the insurance! I also don't want to use it as a daily :( x

These are a few pictures from IG (@gracieloutdi) ( anyone else have IG???? ) You wanted pics so here they are!!! They are not fantastic granted, but I don't have a huge amount of snaps for some reason!! Isn't he a beauty!!! Do we all approve??? Gracie x

I will get some pictures up when I get in :) at work at the moment :( I can't wait until I can insure him again!! All sorts of bits to on him but it really will be worth it! We have some sunroof issues as well but that is last on the list!!! It's good to know there are Corrado lovers in my area!! Gracie x

The drivers side door handle on my VR6 has broken. I am aware it can be a common problem on Dubs of this age! Does anyone know where I can get a replacement unit? Costings etc? I have had a look on eBay but its slim pickings :( Thanks guys!!! Gracie x

For some reason the insurance was ok added on to the end of my 1.4 TDI 6N2 Polo insurance, and then when I went to insure again they wanted over a grand. Can't justify that considering I spend over 160 a month on fuel and I only work in Portsmouth. Now the car is sat on the drive and will be a once a week for my parents!! Until I can insure again! Shame but I am not getting rid of the beast for beans! I love Corrados and am prepared to punch anyone on the nose that doesn't know what one is :)). The whole family loves the car so he will be a little project for us all!! Gracie x

Hey Guys, I have had my Corrado VR6 for nearly 8 months I think and I have not done a newbie post which is most rude! I bought mine off a lovely chap near Brighton who could barely bear to part with it but I promised I would look after it and I have. Now, I chose it because I have, for a long time, wanted a Mk2 Scirocco, or a Corrado. I ended up selecting the VR6 model after a bit of research and landed myself a seriously sexy, 20 year old Moonlight Blue little monster! I drove it around for 6 months but for some reason am now unable to insure it and it is sat on the drive. My dad wanted me to sell, but I can't bring myself to. Then, as luck would have it, my mother turned round yesterday and said that we should keep it, do what needs to be done (respray, brakes, wheel refurb etc) drive it a bit and mostly show it!! So now we have to get going with the little project!! My mum and dad will drive him for me once a week to keep him ticking over while I wait to start the work. I am so excited and my mum is too! We are all VW nuts and now have 4 in the family and are slowly convincing dad to get a Passatt! Sorry for the ramblings but I felt the need to explain the story so far!! Love love!!! Gracie x also FYI, I do actually mean careful lady owner. I mean who can afford to rag a 2.9 VR6 around all the time. He does get a good blast once a week though!
