corozin 0 Posted November 25, 2006 Thanks for the link. I hadn't seen that one before. Interesting to see the Corrado reviewed in the context of the cars of it's day I thought, although the luggage used in the demonstration looked a little bit "rigged" by VW to make the boot look big. Interesting fact : "Tiff" obviously isn't his real name. It stuck with him as a family nickname at an early age because his brother couldn't pronounce "Timothy" apparently.

Jonny_L 0 Posted November 26, 2006 Sweet vid, i've seen it before, but good to watch it again. and again, and again, and again... :) Interesting fact : "Tiff" obviously isn't his real name. It stuck with him as a family nickname at an early age because his brother couldn't pronounce "Timothy" apparently. You know, Until now, I never questioned that Tiff isn't a real name, mind you, I wonder if there have been any kids named after him! You learn something new every day.

Critical_Mass 10 Posted November 26, 2006 You know, Until now, I never questioned that Tiff isn't a real name, Me either until i saw a re-run of top gear today. Tiff Needell was on and showed his name as Timothy "Tiff" Needell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A5 VRX 0 Posted November 26, 2006 Quality vid, you can really hear the charger on that! Why doesn't mine sound anything like that?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LJ 0 Posted November 26, 2006 Watched this back in the day (ala. '88) and the reason I always wanted the G60 :-) ... I was confused by the noise also, as engine bay shot on this prototype car also has the black silencer box on the outlet of the SC. Oh yeah, and I archived the clip, using a Firefox plugin to download and then converted to MPEG using ffmpeg under Linux :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ilovemycar 0 Posted November 26, 2006 Thanks for posting that! 19 grand in 1988? That's a lot. That's decided it, I definitely want to do a track day now, no question. Also, I don't know why, but I liked the dry tone, and the way he calls the spoiler an "aerofoil" though I guess technically that's right. Mine doesn't work though.
