Danger Mouse 0 Posted September 17, 2003 your car looks amazing just one question... with 18" alloys and an 80mm drop where the hell can you drive it? Do you have to take de-tours to avoid speed bumps and potholes? It really does look amazing and I bet it handles amazing too. DM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex darcy 0 Posted September 17, 2003 just one question... with 18" alloys and an 80mm drop where the hell can you drive it? normal drivin is ok, can just about get over speed bumps with a small scrape, parkin is a pain due to the lack of steering lock :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morpheus20170 0 Posted September 23, 2003 Please tell me more about the Fridge, I want one :0) Looks well nice, shame you are in Wales, we could do with your car in Guildford for the Wednesday meet, more Corrados the better, anyone from Sussex that is up for the trip on 8th let me know, cheers.
