Would be interesting to know what they drive.We,being Corradophiles,could never agree to a C being ugly.From the front is one of the best angles with which to view a Corrado..it looks ready.

Tifun 0 Posted January 11, 2007 I get the CRX comment every once in a while. My buddies dad said it looked like a better "skyrocket"...I took that as a compliment though, I couldn't believe he said it like that. Apparently he use to have one and said he loved it and misses it all the time. I then ask him if he would ever go back. "God no, I love my S4 way to much" lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 9, 2011 How weirded out would you feel if the announcement was "Would the owner of a Sherry Pearl Volkswagen Corrado please return to their car as they have left their lights on.....or at least we think they are on, it's hard to tell as it hasn't had an uprated loom fitted, oh and sort out that arch gap please, it's not the required 2 finger gap....."

Alex_G60_Fanatic 0 Posted June 9, 2011 I had a friend on face book say this the other day.... "Not trying to be negative dude, but are you sure she can be/should be fixed? Looks like extremely long, drawn-out, painful life-support..." This after I had just spent £1500 on parts... :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 9, 2011 Yep. I know a few girls like that. All they see is a really old reg plate, which in their shallow, narrow minded eyes = pikey. Now if it was an 11 plate stupid little Audi, then it would be an amazing car.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Critical_Mass 10 Posted June 9, 2011 I did get the usual, "always wanted one of those" comment today, which to be honest whether that is true or not at least they're not insulting it. Though when i told someone at my new place of work that it as a 2.9 V6, i got the response of "WHY would you want a 2.9" - this was coming from a lad who drives one of those Pug 107 things haha!

Big'G' 0 Posted June 28, 2011 I get the very common "Nice Scirocco, don't see many of them" to which I reply "It's not a Scirocco, it's a Corrado" other persons "wha's that then" Most of the time "Nice car always wanted one is it for sale?" to which I reply "I'll stick you at the bottom of a very long list" But the best has to be from my lovely other half "Your Fxxxxxg Corrado this, your Fxxxxxg Corrado that, you love that Fxxxxxg Corrado more than me!" And to be fair that's a pretty fair comment... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toohottotrot 10 Posted June 28, 2011 I purchased a 1996 Corrado a couple of weeks ago, hired a transporter to collect from near Glasgow. I was pulled in for inspection on the motorway south of Glasgow, cops and vehicle inspectors like flies around me, "what kind of Scirocco is that then?" One cop asks. "A Corrado one," I reply! "Do you realise the tax, mot and insurance have run out?" Another cop offers. The temptation to reply "no **** Sherlock" was hard to resist! Instead I pointed out that that was why I hired the transporter. Corrados are not the only ones to suffer idiot remarks, I have a mint 1981 Scirocco, supercharged 1.8 20valve conversion. Neighbour stops to look at it on my drive, asks me about it, so I explain as simple as possible that basically it's quite fast. His parting shot was "so people are surprised when an OLD BANGER Scirocco is faster than their new car!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
