Shame about the Porsche Jay,it looked awesome, i really want one aswell, but i couldn't ever sell my C to help pay for it !! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted August 8, 2006 at least you can say you've owned a 911, even if it was breif! bit of a bummer i'm sure but i bet theres not many people who can say they 'downgraded' to a mint VR ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A20 LEE 0 Posted August 8, 2006 whats the actual problem? The running costs or the purchase price? I know someone who is a wizard with maintainance on porkers and cheap. Owns his own racing porsche 964 (600+bhp if the rumours are correct) with a sequential gearbox!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OSV 0 Posted August 8, 2006 I have always wanted a Porsche 911 but with a large mortgage, a wife and 2 children I'm very lucky to indulge my hobby as far as a Corrado let alone a 911, I don't view it as second best though as Corrado's are an excellent and unusual modern classic in their own right and fellow owners/enthusiasts although a little strange are great when you get used to them :wink: At the end of the day i'm a Volkswagen guy through and through for better or worse!

24V Renshaw 0 Posted August 8, 2006 Cheers for all the nice comments guys. I just need a VW fix, porkers just don't cut it :) :) I am not sure when I will put the Porker up for sale. I have the 18's to put on it and want to give it a mega clean. As for the new Rado, I have no idea what I will do to it, but I want to start with a mint standard (ish) VR like OSV/Asims as a base.

crdo16v 0 Posted August 8, 2006 i think once you've enjoyed owning a corrado you keep them in your blood, anytime you see another you admire it & the determination & time of the owner to keep it in the cared for condition that 99.9% of them are in. :notworthy: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

24V Renshaw 0 Posted August 10, 2006 I will never regret selling the "other one" :) I had my fun with it and it allowed me to do what I have. I will have owned a Porsche 911, which I promised myself I would do and now I get to start on a new Rado project.... with hopefully a better base car :) So anyone want to sell me a mint VR and I mean MINT.

Nick 0 Posted August 10, 2006 Have you put the 18's on the porsche yet Jay? Good luck in your new venture. The old one was phenominal, so it will be interesting to see what you do to a new one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
