Corrado Spotting Was it you [Archive March 06]

Recommended Posts

Red H reg near bar end in winchester 2.00ish friday, only just saw it as i was busy texting someone when my mate told me it was coming the other way. doubt you'll have seen me, i was in a pikey van on the way to the scrap yard (got £25 for 3 car radiators, which was nice).

saw a dark green M Plate rado in Silverlake breakers yard (in fact took the front wing off it!!) assume it used to be either a VR or a G60 has the engine and gearbox had been taken out!

 

was a sad sight indeed.

Passed a white Corrado on the bridge on the Thorne - Snaith Road in East/North Yorkshire. Didn't see any numberplate etc because we were both going so fast, waving and flashing lights.

right, i'm a bit out of touch with time, so...

 

v.low and v.dirty dark blue C last Saturday (4th), backfired as it passed me doing 60+ and accelerating... in a 40 limit :roll:

 

purple one rolling into the VIDA leisure centre, millbrook on Thurs night.

 

standard looking dark blue C in West Totton, Nugget Yellow going in the opposite direction on Totton bypass just before 5pm and a tornado red J reg, de-badged 4-slat grille in Argos/JJB car-park Southampton City Centre... all today!

not really, engine, gearbox, steering, front bumper, from N/S wing, entire loom, sunroof, badges, wheels, doors all gone.

 

Carpet and most trim still around but didnt look in too good a state tbh and had lots of parts/rubbish all over it..

 

front lights smashed, most of rear lights intact but the n/s rear cluster has been broken. looks like it had a rear ender as the bumper was badly damaged.

 

spoiler mech still looked intact though!! and a few body panels that were pretty straight.

That was me, mate, off to play 5-a-side. Do you drive a red C (M reg, I think??)- I saw one go past that day?

 

I see that dark blue one quite often - N plate valver - woman with dark hair drives it.

 

Also saw a red C (didn't get the reg) coming out of Marchwood. I was in a queue of traffic - we both flashed.

Yellow Corrado, possibly with RS front bumper. Just west of Bury St Edmunds going east on the A14. I was in black VR6 going west, I did wave but not sure if you saw me. Think I've seen you a few times before, but always been too slow and surprised to ne sure.

I was out in Salisbury on sat night, and i heard a massive roar and expected to see a corsa with 22" wheels and a 10" exhaust, but instead it was a green C. No idea what flavour, i was slightly intoxicated at the time. But im pretty sure it had alloys, and it defo had an aftermarket exhaust.

:-o - Opps, sorry buddy. Usually still asleep at that time!

 

Where were you heading? - Hardly ever see any Rado's round this way and certainly not other VR6's.............

 

Will keep a look out for you in future :)
