CorradoDriver 0 Posted September 3, 2006 The thing that takes the P!ss is when some one asks you what car you drive, you tell them a corrado and their like what?? it must be old, havent heard of it, happen to anyone?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted September 3, 2006 Well whenever i've gone to the bank to withdraw a large sum of cash to buy a Corrado (and its happened every single time i've bought one now) the lady behind the counter always asks if i'm doing anything nice with the money and I say that i'm buying a new car.. and then they always ask what sort of car.. and I sigh because as soon as I say "Volkswagen Corrado" they get a blank look and say "Oh, i've never heard of one of those!" - happens every time!

vwdeviant 0 Posted September 3, 2006 From one of my friends... (when I had the 'rocco) Hairdresser! (now I have the 'Rado) been promoted to Salon Manager! When you get a VR6 it'll mean you open a chain then? :bad-words: This from some-one who drives a Fabia! (OK it's an rs!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted September 3, 2006 Hmmm, I would hardly call either the Rocco or Corrado a hairdresser's car! Don't even come close imho. Fab vRS is a great car... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Storm Warning 0 Posted September 3, 2006 I often get "old banger" comments from my wife to wind me up. gurrr Plenty of always wanted one of those rocco comments too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cralstc 0 Posted September 3, 2006 No one here in Dubai knows what a C is. One of my mates calls mine a golf coupe!!! Does it on purpose to try to annoy me. I mean he is just jealous I beat him from a standing start while he was in his new mustang GT! Had the scirocco comment a couple of times as well. Before the rebuild it was called the heap by my mum. Dad calls it the bone shaker-think he is getting old now! Funny when the Police ask what it is, obviously surprised when you say VW! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

.Rich. 0 Posted September 4, 2006 Friends and family constantly take the piss out of it because they know I love it! They call it a scirocco, golf, collorado and the current jokes are about the "active wing". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 4, 2006 Parking spaces really are at a preimium at work and my clearly marked space was taken. A guy comes up to my office and asked 'does someone own a golf?' i replied no mate not sure about that and he then spent the next 15 mins going round all the offices to ask about this golf. He then returned to my office asking as anyone got a VW, I said lets have a look and said 'thats mine corrado why didn't you say I'll move it for you. A bit awkward I know but he has never taken my space again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kerrinmay 0 Posted September 4, 2006 A lady at work said "I looked at buying one of those", so I presumed that she appreciated what it was, until some weeks later she refered to it as a "Golf"! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

.A.N.T. 0 Posted September 4, 2006 "when are you going to get a proper car" is a common one... An old chap who walks by each morning to get his paper has asked me if there is anything left on it that I've not taken off... Whenever I ring up mirroredone literally the first thing I say is 'what have you broken now/what's gone wrong this week?' that though is just born of experience!!
