Nice, bodywork looks good, wouldn't know it had done the high mileage without looking at the odo.

A worthy, interesting purchase.

Look forward to hearing that the high mileage has been no problem.

Nice minimalist alloys!

Car looks good apart from the pedals.....

[CorradoWannabe 1]

Thanks for the comments guys - the car is a lot tidier than the advert suggested (how rare is that!) and the millage doesnt show either, even the leather interior is almost spotless.

Oh yeh - i dont like the pedals at all - the brake pedal is HUGE and i can only just get my foot past it to get to the accelerator!

looks clean mate.. defo a bargain..

the cream leather looks mint, bodywork looks tidy too looks like a good buy there mate

[Stormin Dave 0]

Looks excellent inside and out regardless of milage and air conditioning too. I reckon you've got a good deal there mate.

Rear Storm badge alignment looks a bit strange. Blimey, aren't we a set of nit pickers.

looks awesome - I really really want one

[JimSTORM 0]

is it just me or is the rear storm badge positioned wrongly?

[RW1 0]

Yeah in the wrong place but that's dealers for you not reading the instructions.

Fitted a K&N 57i kit to the car this weekend - car feels like it has a new lease of life now - sounds fantastic too! I need to get some updated pics on here - i think im all done regarding modifications now - all i've done is:

 

- New front and rear numberplate

- Inpro style clear rear lights.

- Induction kit

- Painted brake callipers

 

And that should be that 8)

Gotta add this picture to this thread..

cool pic.. were was that taken?? hows it running??

[CorradoWannabe 1]

My brother took some pics of the car in the car park at Ikea tonight, they are not that great but show some of the additions to the car - also a couple of short video clips - both fairly pointless but the car is sounding good!

 

The car is running great - in the last month i've taken it to both Cambrdige and back (150 round trip) and Milton Keynes and back (150 round trip also) and both journeys the car was a joy to drive.

 

Despite the millage it runs beautifully, starts first time and the heated seats and extras are a dream in this cold weather at the mo - i am missing not being able to use the sunroof though..

 

Also so far everything still works on the car - lets hope and pray it stays that way :)

 

228,250 miles and counting.. 8)

Very very smart looking Corrado mate. ( Ahh was you the one with the Lambo and others? )

 

Looks like it's being looked after very well, nice to see :)

[Bally 0]

LOL were did you go in MK??

 

good to hear its running well..

A friend of mine won some x5 alloy wheels for his Audi A3 on ebay - managed to get 5 wheels with good tread on 4 of the wheels for £16! I drove him down there and then him and wheels back - the guy lived very close to the centre of milton keynes and it was really easy to find the place - plenty of roundabouts with directions + all the roads running parallel to each other helps :)

 

Videos didnt post as i get a complaint about them being 'mp4' files - i'll upload them somewhere and link em in!

Bargain!! MK's not bad to get around..

[CorradoWannabe 1]

Got up to the 230,000 mile mark now - still running very nice and smooth, the smoothness of the idle is fantastic, cant wait for summer when i can enjoy driving the car fully.

 

Performance is there too - got 135 out of it the other day (downhill though) but its a great drive.

 

Dont think the car needs any more mods - welcome suggestions tho!

Got any more interior pics CW?

[CorradoWannabe 1]

I went for a track day and got to blast around in a Ferrari 360 - i'll get those photos up in another thread - but it was also a great chance to take photos of my Storm and some video footage as well.

 

So here's some photos - im looking to enter some in the May competition for the calender so i'll appreciate any feedback about which picture to sumbit [is it only one photo per person per car per month?]
