CazzaVR 0 Posted August 11, 2009 'OMG! It's like a new car!' One of the mechanics at my local VW specialist the other day :) Also, my wife overheard one of the guys landscaping our garden saying to one of his work mates 'That car is stunning!' Female British Gas engineer serviced our fire + boiler the other day and said 'Your Corrado is mint' - turns out her boyfriend is restoring an old Beemer at the mo 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted August 13, 2009 A group of lads walking down the pavement towards me as I was driving along. I promptly saw one of them continue to stare at the car as he walked into a lamp post as I went past! Made my day anyway! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted August 17, 2009 Not sure you could class it as a chuftie as such, but - Was on the way home today and saw a bloke stood at the of his drive with a camera, which had the biggest lens i have ever seen :norty: Im guess he'd just got it and was just outside giving it a test, as he was snapping pics of random things like trees etc as i passed he swang the camera my way and took some shots i passed. Enjoy the pics sir :salute: :clap: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wazza 0 Posted August 18, 2009 Filled the car up earlier, went to pay and the guy on the till decided to hold up the queue of people waiting to pay while he chatted corrados and attempted to show me a clip of his mate's R32 at santa pod... I was impressed but his slow internet connection didn't do much for the other customer's satisfaction :nono: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kempy 0 Posted August 18, 2009 sometimes I drive further to go to petrol stations that have fluorescent flood lit forecourts. 8) cause when its clean it looks awesome under those lights Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was impressed but his slow internet connection didn't do much for the other customer's satisfaction :nono: I also stopped to get petrol today and a guy started asking me about my C. He asked if it was standard (a bit of a dig at the ride height I think!) and then said he thought it was in quite good condition. Cue standard reply of 'don't look too closely'... Thinking about it, he was talking about his mate's R32 at Santa Pod too - it's not the same guy cruising round petrol stations is it?! :lol: A petrol tanker was there too and even that guy was having a good look at the car. Made me smile esp as I was thinking how typical it is that the car is filthy at the moment :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Critical_Mass 10 Posted September 13, 2009 Sat in traffic in the town centre, a guy in a new jag pulled out from an underground parking garage and turned to head the opposite way. He pulled along side me and said he loved the corrado and always wanted one. I told him he should get rid of the Jag to get one :lol: Also had a guy comment on my car that had just got out of a really nice T5 at Vanfest on saturday.

ozowen 2 Posted September 17, 2009 Got my first today. :D Postman knocked on door to deliver parcel and asked how I'd managed to find two cars in the same colour and that he'd always loved Corrado's. Had quick chat with him about the VRT 4x4 as the original is in garage having water pump fitted and ISV cleaned. As he left I heard him say "BEAUTIFUL" :grin: Parcel delivered TALEX speed detector !!!!!!...............Now of to meet Tim at the Phirm and talk Brakes :clap: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
