veeDuB_Rado 0 Posted October 21, 2005 Sitting with the gf at a "pub party" an announcement comes out "Could the owner of the red (a little pause..thinking it could be having corrado shouted out lol) car, a Scirooco please move because he is blocking somebody else" :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: Annoyed me lol, then I went to move out and then a woman said to me "oh is that your scirooco outside" Grr, i kindly explained to her & her hubby that it wasnt a scirroco, but a corrado. Then when i moved t somewhere else i got a bloke said "ah right so it was your scirrocco in the way then haha" i went "nope, it a C O R R A D O mate!" he went oooh we were close... i nearly burst into tears!!!

vr6storm 0 Posted October 21, 2005 of course they could have been wanting to see if you'll "bite"...........i know it took me a few times to realise thats what the guys i work with were doing to me in the first days of C ownership everytime they asked me about my "Scirocco" :twisted: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yandards 0 Posted October 22, 2005 I'd have made them wait untill the figured it out Yeah the downside of that is when you get clamped by some overzealous git.. :wink: Even with a badge on they probably would have got it wrong, although you may have enjoyed the many different attempts at pronounciation of the word 'Corrado' :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swfblade 0 Posted October 22, 2005 mine was called a Polo once :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StormVR6 0 Posted October 22, 2005 mine was called a Polo once :? I assume you replied with a swift "feck off, twat!" My mate with his RX-8 (which I now call a XK8, just to p*ss him off) has always called my C a "Karrada", although to be fair this is the same man who calls a stopcock a "cockstop" sometimes a "copstock" and once a "stockcop", but never a stopcock. :lol: Yes he has a way with words ol' Danny whos' best feck up was "who's that bird singing, Larnis Marmoset init?" :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mistrall 0 Posted October 23, 2005 this is why i carry my "pocket tyson" always handy at pub brawls and such anoying intervalls - for the biting of the ear when annoyed!! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest 0 Posted October 23, 2005 I still don't get why you guys are sooooo annoyed when someone calls your Rado (in effect a Mk3 Rocco, I have proof for this fact) a Scirocco? Be grateful they don't call it a Golf or something else that came from Wolfsburg (remember: our babies came from Karmann in Osnabrück, NOT VW!)

veeDuB_Rado 0 Posted October 23, 2005 I think it's because the Scirocco just isn't a Corrado (No offence mate I know it's biased) The name Corrado sounds cool too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarlett 0 Posted October 23, 2005 I'm with Tempest on this one, I have no probs with my Rado being refered to as a Rocco as it has been done on a few occasions, without the Rocco there would be no Rado.... however, the idiot that called it an Ibiza, then an Escort one night deserved to be called the horrible names that I called him... twunt....!!! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
