Kempy 0 Posted January 26, 2010 I got a chufty today at a cheapo DIY store. an older indian/asian gentleman tapped me on the shoulder and said my corrado still sounds good (valver :D ) asked me how old it was and stuff. It was nice, even in its current state :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Josh Waddi 0 Posted February 8, 2010 Funily enough i only had a good read of this post last friday. finished work and was on my way home, sat in very heavy traffic. Put the windows down so i could get some fresh air and not fall asleep and i some guy in the passenger seat of a van shouts over "how long have u had that then" and then generally asks me a few questions about the C and gives me some praise about mine. He says he has 2 mint MK2 golfs if i fancied a swap. My response was how mint are they?? swapping a mint MK2 golf for a average KR Valver. His excuse for the swap is that he couldnt get hold of a C anymore, i advised he was looking in the wrong places. Then i was fueling up later friday night and a guy waiting for the pump i was using told me that my C looked to be in good nick and was nice to see, Then he explained this his dad passed away recently and he has a mint G60 sat in his garage but didnt know weather to keep it or sell it. I akwardly gave him my number and advised under no pressure to give me a call if he comes to sell. i could either get the info and post on here or if i had the money be greedy and have 2 C's :grin: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4eyes2wheels 0 Posted February 21, 2010 Was round my folks yesterday with my VR6 parked next to my brothers 58 plate Scirocco when their former Porsche 911 airline pilot neighbour came over and started heaping praise on the C. He was well impressed with the 190 bhp from the 2.9 lump and confessed he had always wanted one. He said cars hadn't moved on much in the last 20 years when looking at my brothers rocco - which to be fair makes 200 bhp from it's mere two litres . . .

WigsVR6 0 Posted February 21, 2010 I was filling up at the garage on Friday morning and I saw this older guy clocking the C. After he paid he came over and said "Thats still the best looking car that VW ever made" I said thanks I've had it over two years and I still get a kick out of the looks. Made my day after a 24 hour shift then a 250 mile drive upto Scotland. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4eyes2wheels 0 Posted February 23, 2010 Mrs 4eyes is deputy head at a girls school and was using the C when her BMW failed to cope with the snow. The maintenance manager at the school has said if I'm ever looking to sell it to let him have first refusal! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Sands 0 Posted February 24, 2010 Continuing the school related theme, a colleague who was new to us last September but who'd clearly never arrived or left at the same time as me until yesterday, said this morning "Is the Corrado yours?"; says I "Yes! That's my baby..."; says he "Niiiiiccceeeeee" (in full on Jazz Club style). Loving it. :clap: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foster 0 Posted March 1, 2010 Literally just had my mot failure sheet handed to me when someone in a 7series pulled up and started asking if it was for sale, if I would swap etc. Still didn't make up for the shitty test though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Sands 0 Posted March 16, 2010 Called in at Tesco this evening after work. As we came back to the 'rado, a gent was sitting in the passenger seat of a convertible MR2 with the top down (but wearing an England rugby hat to reassert his masculinity!). He was eyeing up the VR appreciatively and as we pulled away through the space, he mouthed "That's nice that is!" through the window! He got a friendly beep of the horn and a wave as we left the car park. Nice one mate! :clap: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can do a remake of the Human League video for "Don't you want me" - substitute the Corrado for the Rover and away you go :luvlove: . Mind you could be a bit odd on a first date :shrug: .
