delfinis38 1 Posted March 12, 2007 Just out of interest really.. How long have you owned your Rado? Is there anybody here who bought there rado new from the vee dub dealer back in the mid 90's and are the orig owner ? I'm the second owner of my VR bought her when she was 15 months old. And is there always going to be a rado on your drive or in the garage, if not what do ya fancy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John-M 0 Posted March 13, 2007 I bought mine in '96, it's '94 ('M') registered. I'm the second owner. The guy I bought it from said 'When you come to sell it, let me know and I'll buy it back.' Little did he know ! 35k miles on the clock when I got it, now it's on 168K. Longest by far I ever owned a car and the highest mileage. Can't see me changing now - though I need to be spending some serious money before too long :( DELFINIS38 - I thought I'd be the oldest owner here - but you got a few years on me !

delfinis38 1 Posted March 13, 2007 DELFINIS38 - I thought I'd be the oldest owner here - but you got a few years on me ! I do have a orange badge in mine :lol: I'm on my second rado too had a J plate 1.8 16v when she was two years old had 20K on the clock. at the time. had two rado's in the garage for some time. but the valver had to go to make way for the V6 sold it for about 10K many years ago. there always be a rado in my garage.... I'm on limited mileage too although i only cover about 150 miles a year in mine at the moment. hence the low mileage Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DEL VR6 0 Posted March 13, 2007 I bought my VR6 in August 2003 so coming on 4 years. thats probably the longest i have kept any 1 car, and as much as i want a 911, i cant ever imagine selling the Corrado. I had a 2.0 16v Corrado for a year before that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
