Jim 2 Posted July 17, 2006 Blimey.. 21 years old! Good luck to him trying to insure it! I had a nightmare insuring my first Corrado even at 21 and the prices were insane.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vdubCorrado 0 Posted July 17, 2006 haha... curious as to what is done to this car besides the 24v swap? cause he claims nicest world wide... i mean it's possible but i know of some bad ass Corrados here in the states... i know bill schimmel built a mid engine, rear wheel drive, fully built 24v VR6 twin turbo, and dog box transmission... that may be as of now the nicest i know of... see more here... http://www.schimmelperformance.com/main ... orrado.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mave 0 Posted July 17, 2006 Think you'd have to see it in the flesh to appreciate it. (as in the pics don't do it justice..) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted July 17, 2006 I don't see anyone claiming it is the best Corrado in the World? - that's always going to be a matter of personal taste anyway. Have a read through Jays thread if you want to know what's been done other than the 24v engine , it's not about the power AFAIK, it's about the factory finish.

gradeAfailure 0 Posted July 17, 2006 curious as to what is done to this car besides the 24v swap? cause he claims nicest world wide... have a looooong read of jay's member's gallery thread! It's basically a complete MkIV Golf in a Corrado bodyshell... as for nicest, well, that'll always be open to debate, but the point about jay's was that everything done to it looked as though VW had built it that way, it was so unbelievably factory... trust me, you have to see it to appreciate it!

You should probably do a little research really on Jays car before you're so quick to shoot it down. It aint all about just having the most powerful motor.. its all the other stuff thats gone into it that makes it so special IMHO! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue_Joe 0 Posted July 17, 2006 Walesy has got it spot on with Jay's old car!!! To Jay it wasn't about performance. It was how he could 'improve' the car so as to take a 14 year old car and make it as if it had just been built by VW - achieving 'factory finish or better' in all aspects of the car Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted July 17, 2006 http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?p=&t=5413 ^^ Have a read through that, i'm not sure if someone knows what pages are worth skipping to? Again, i'm certainly not speaking for Jay ( i've never met the guy ) but i've never heard him claim that his car is better than anyone elses, let alone the best in the World - It's the people that look around it at shows and PVW etc that claim that.

OSV 0 Posted July 17, 2006 Its the new owner who claimed its the best in the UK or even the world, but he shouldn't be criticised for that its a tremendous car and he clearly loves it already. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

24V Renshaw 0 Posted July 17, 2006 I don't have a Corrado any more so can't comment :( Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bristolbaron 10 Posted July 17, 2006 I don't have a Corrado any more so can't comment :( Jay ah bless :( Jay would never admit to his car being one of the best in a car park let alone one of the best in the world, and thats what really made the car for me.. The frustrating iritatingness of someone with that modesty to build a car to that standard. :lol: :mad: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
double-6s 0 Posted July 17, 2006 Congrats on selling it Jay :) From the sound of it you got a price that was fair to you too? And there's one happy mo fo of a 21 year old driving round thinking he's got the biggest balls in the world right now! All good then. Everyone's happy :) Suuuurrrrweeet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gradeAfailure 0 Posted July 17, 2006 I want to know what all these kids do to be able to afford cars like this?! Seems like every under-25 is driving around in S3s, or £10k (just guessing Jay, no offence intended if it was more or less!) Corrados, or sh*t like that... Or do they just have rich parents/still live at home?! Jealousy subsides... ;) :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DUB 0 Posted July 18, 2006 So it seems to have gone a little off key/point now - why int the new owner on here? Jay did you not mention us? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NottsCounty 0 Posted July 18, 2006 - why int the new owner on here? Jay did you not mention us? I thought that - and if he's been on the dub scene for four years then how come he's only ever notched up two posts on a forum??? (Jealous) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted July 18, 2006 I mentioned the Corrado forum, but he does not work with a Computer so will not be like us work shy bu99ers who spend all day on here. :) He only got on the E38 forum to mail me about the car, but now he is on there he has started posting. To be part of the dub scene you don't "have" to post on forums all day, but it helps ;) Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
