Shaggy's Old G60 Rado

Recommended Posts

Well this is the replacement... hopefully if all goes to plan i should own it soon... Cant wait..May change the wheels for some "WORK" wheels not sure yet tho...

 

Its mint ED1 Spec Mk2 Golf G60! has a brand new engine, running approx 210bhp... so will mate nicely together with my lysholm when it arrives!!

I have owned a mint Edition One G60 in Dark Burgundy Pearl back in 1999, however I must say good as they are I prefer your Corrado, its one of the best! I'm not convinced you are making the right move

Yeah i can understand where you are coming from tbh... its not that i dont like my rado anymore, I luv it! but i feel the need to have a change.... i am sure i will own another rado again some day.. i am still only 23 and still gotta years left in me yet..

 

Just cant wait to see the reaction the GF will have when i bring this golf home... she doesnt like lhd cars at all...lol :D

Sorry to see your selling / sold-up mike, on the plus side looks like a minty replacement though ! Who bought the rado then ?

 

Also, going by what you have mentioned previously above, I may have some "special" wheels (going to be refurbed first and adapters sourced) you would probably be interested in for sale in next few months, 7.5+8x16" too.........;-)

The splitter scrapes pretty much all the time tbh but as they say "if you aint rubbin you aint dubbin" ;) lol

 

Yeh the exhaust catches on speed bumps which doesnt sound nice at all and get people looking at me in disgust but I just laugh :lol:
