KIPVW 0 Posted October 12, 2006 Well as the title suggests, On mon the 9th oct me and my C did a photo shoot for classic cars magazine, the shoot basically looked at the pros and cons with both the corrado and the porsche Not really a whats best kinda battle more like a which model you may purchase. No contest really! Lol! The article will probably be used within the next few months so keep an eye out! And i'd just like to say a huge thank you to steve mac for the opportunity of this feature :notworthy: So i guess the least i can do is a little article for the ccgb sprinter magazine in return to let you know more about the day rather than the finished product Regards to everyone!

vr6storm 0 Posted October 12, 2006 good choice of car...........spied it an Lutterworth Travel-Inn or lodge in June and was well impressed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted October 13, 2006 Yeah - to be fair there really aren't many cleaner Corrado VR's out there. If they wanted a virtually showroom fresh Corrado, they picked the right one! Let us know when its out and i'll be sure to go pick up a copy! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DEL VR6 0 Posted October 13, 2006 Well done Paul! Cant think of a Corrado thats more magazine worthy than yours in terms of originality & "mintness" (if there is such a thing!) Always look forward to seeing it at shows. Look forward to reading all about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DasWiesel 0 Posted October 13, 2006 I´ve just taken a look at your gallery and :shock: your Corrado looks better than new! Please tell us when the right magazine is out, so i can order one directly, as i won´t find it here :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DaveStorm 0 Posted October 13, 2006 It was on Sky Men and Motors Top 100 cars list a while back, it was only a short feature but the good old C made it to the mid 70's IIRC :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KIPVW 0 Posted November 12, 2006 Hello folks! Well just in case anyone is interested the feature i was talking about last month. Its due to go out on the first of december so keep an eye out for it. Just hope they do the corrado the justice that it deserves. :? Kip. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted November 12, 2006 By strange coincidence a recent article in a classic car mag my dad has was all about the Corrado. When he mentioned he had it I assumed it was your feature Kip, but when I had a look the one in the picture was bodykitted but admittedly very clean and tidy. Just reiterated the usual stuff about it being a cracking car, and getting increasingly rare.. advised buying a G60 or VR6 to put away. Clearly all the valvers might as well just be scrapped :| Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mave 0 Posted November 12, 2006 I'll go throw mine in the bin then :'( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIPVW 0 Posted November 12, 2006 Hi jim, yeah to be fair it does always seem to come up trumps with the i like it squad, whichever model you have. Well mav regards throwing it in the bin i really wouldnt! lol! I used to have a 1.8 16v and i,ll tell you now it was a cracking car and dare i say it but it handled much better than my VR6. :wink: kip Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Campaign 0 Posted November 12, 2006 I'll keep a look out for that then :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted November 12, 2006 There's one thing the G60 and VR6 can't match though...the running costs of the 16v. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A1 VR6 0 Posted November 12, 2006 Top man Paul and top car, I'll be buying the mag. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
