Walesy 0 Posted December 23, 2005 It has to be said I moved last Saturday, which was the reason that I had to sell my raddo. I'm loving my new place...but I assumed that I would stop missing my raddo when I had new surroundings etc...but bloody hell...I need a raddo badly....the roads around here were made for it ...I hadn't realised how restricted I had been for the whole 2 years that I owned various raddo's by living in a City. If anyone fancies swapping their raddo for 60bhp of raw boat handling power..then drop me a pm :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
logicaltuning 0 Posted December 23, 2005 im missing mine too, although its just sat in the garage, it will be back though!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted December 23, 2005 i know how you feel matey, rightly or wrongly I used the VR as a way of letting off steam, plant the right foot, let the K&N roar and hang on for dear life... worked every time. the GTI I have now is nice and that, but its like driving a sponge, no feedback from the road or the car, no where near the same level of communication through the steering wheel... its like going with danni minogue after being with kylie ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
veeDuB_Rado 0 Posted December 23, 2005 Christ, I aint drove mine in about 2 months, I fucking hat seing it sat there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trig 0 Posted December 23, 2005 16v, 2 months and all that insurance!! Walesy, Once I get mine back on the road i'll take you for a good spin around some nice Caarnish roads :) If you haven't bought one by then... get one soon though cos the prices are very good! Would it be a VR this time? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest 0 Posted December 23, 2005 Erm, know the feeling. Initially I was loathed to the idea of having to take my Rado on a business trip from Tuesday till Thursday this week (well, more so, so that I could take it to G-Werks on the way back to get some new injectors), but boy, did I enjoy every mile even though it was all for business. Today I had to drive the normal company van again, what a difference. Van: thumbs-down big time :lol: Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

veeDuB_Rado 0 Posted December 23, 2005 Bloody thing wont run properly, its got about 40bhp, and there is a wierd noise, like a farting noise, when I accelerate, It was fine tilll i pulled upto a junction, and it decided to go wrong from then on. Might be the aitbox, i dunno. Feels like its runnin on 3 cylinders Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trig 0 Posted December 23, 2005 He can't reach the pedals.. :-P I miss mine everytime i'm not driving it, but if you leave it a week and (especialy driving other cars in between) then get back in it you appreciate it more! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walesy 0 Posted December 23, 2005 16v, have you had the timing checked matey? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
veeDuB_Rado 0 Posted December 23, 2005 Timing is fine as far as I know,i just the wierd tihng, it was running lovely, pulled upto a junction, and went to pull of and the car stated to make farting noise (from the front), and was almost dead basically. /offtopic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted December 23, 2005 /on topic. It seems silly for you to be paying your insurance etc and for you to be missing driving it when it's just a running problem stopping you. Have you taken it anywhere to see if you can get it sorted? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
veeDuB_Rado 0 Posted December 23, 2005 Im taking insurance off asap, I could get it looked at, but the nearest places are quite a bit away really ( thats at reasonable pricing anyway ) and Im not sure if the car will make it all the way there without stalling cos i gotta keeps revs quite high or it chokes and dies., and getting a truck out to get it will cost a bit of money too.

dinkus 10 Posted December 24, 2005 I've been driving my C to work every day for the last 2 weeks - nice twisty B-roads that are an absolute hoot in the VR :D :D The drive would be so tedious in anything else. I seem to be getting through petrol rather quickly tho... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I seem to be getting through petrol rather quickly tho... I only drive my c once or twice a week and now my missus has got a new job she is going to be commuting 50 miles a day on nice twisty fun roads in her until we can afford a 2nd motor. At least she will be paying out the national debt in fuel :lol: .And I am soooooooooooooooooooooo Jealous :mad: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
