    I'm in Tillicoultry just east of Stirling. I have seen a few Corrados about since may last year but still in the single figures. I know of a cracking one for sale, a 1991 G60 with 28000 miles, in Alloa. I have seen it and it is exceptional however I am hung on my VR6. I have heard of a VW festival which is held somewhere north of Dundee during the summer months but other than that I don't know any more. My first car was a 1970 VW Beetle which I bought in 1981 and I used to go to the annual VW meet at Doune motor museum which was a great and well attended event. This ceased years ago when the museum closed.

    I acquired a 1993 Corrado VR6 in May last year 6 months prior to retiring from the Police. It is a 2 owner, 72000 miles (full service history and all MOTs). Interior is mint as are the speedlines. The paintwork (metallic Dragon Green)is good but is 21 years old. I took a punt on this car and travelled 400 miles to view it (funnily it was originally supplied by a VW main dealer only 25 miles from where I stay). It was sold to me within the first 500 yards of the test drive. Pulled like a train on steroids and what a sound track from that engine. Luckily the usual culprits (sunroof and spoiler)were working fine however a few items weren't so. Electric windows switch was inoperative, the fan only occasionally worked on setting 4 and the direction dial was tough to rotate, the ABS light was on and the engine fan(s) seem somewhat lethargic and take some time to cut in. I have done a few things to the car i.e. new arial, new battery, new plates and new front tyres. Covered some 1500 dry miles during the summer, what a car! Would have covered more but Scotland and the term 'rain free' are not the best bed fellows. The car is now in my local garage whom have been given a blank cheque to go through it including the usual work to the timing chain seeing. Once finished it is going for a windows out respray to bring it back to factory condition. Looking to find out whether there are any shows in Scotland or N England this year??? The car is going to be used, not shown however would like to see other owners cars and catch up with the local scene.
