VRev6 0 Posted November 17, 2003 I thought it was a bit poor to be honest. not really much there for the C. the car park was better than the show. did like the C VR :D with the momo steering wheel and gorgeous leather interior though!! :D :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted November 17, 2003 Utter sh1te, where were all the cars!?!?? although it was worth going to see the corrado campaign. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bally 0 Posted November 17, 2003 I thought it was crap!! total waste of £££, but did pickup a few bits.. but as you guys said nothing for our rados :( did anyone see the totally slammed yellow G plate rado? I got chatting to the owner as he drove past, it was dropped 110mm on the standard 15" BBS's.. it looked so sweet!! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dave0280 0 Posted November 17, 2003 I must agree. The show was a bit poor, not as good as last years which seemed to be more popular. My motor made its first show outing with new two tone leather which got a few admirers, its was the black 2.0 16V on the stand. Jez's Campaign is always a star of the stand, and Jim's white 16V was looking good too. Must admit that on the whole a pretty dismal show, no stunning Club GTi cars there either. Oh well, roll on the summer! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted November 17, 2003 110mm?!? :shock: Sheeesh, I thought mine was low when she dropped 80mm when I first fitted my coilovers... :? I'm almost glad I didn't make the trip over now... :? 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bally 0 Posted November 17, 2003 Dave, I was admiring your re-trim.. very good quality.. did hang about to have a chat with yah, but you wasnt about, oh well next time maybe.. nice car matey :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dave0280 0 Posted November 17, 2003 Cheers guys. You will be shocked to know that the door cards and parcel shelf were .......... vinyl! The bits you sit on were leather but the seat backs were vinyl. You really can't tell even when i had the car open and people felt it. I made sure they used a good quality soft vinyl which matched 100% with the leather. They also did the mat edges, gear gaitor and handbrake gaitor all in for £700! Done at Tappers in B'ham just off the Pershore road. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevemac 0 Posted November 17, 2003 Show was pretty much what I expected for this time of year. Wasn't really looking to buy anything but I agree there wasn't very much Corrado stuff there. It was good to meet up with some of you guys there - maybe at the next show we'll have to organise a place & time so we can all meet. Near one of the food trailers perhaps........... :lol: :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tattie 0 Posted November 17, 2003 Lets just say the show was a hell of a lot better than the GTI Festival at Stoneleigh but wasn't as good as VW Action in September, although there were more C's at Donnington. I still managed to buy some Synta Silver Oil, Side repeaters with crystal bulbs and some M3 style smoked rear lights! Ah well, lets see what happens next year!

bishthefish 0 Posted November 17, 2003 I was there, the fat bloke leaning on a caddy van, (which i have managed to dent within 5 weeks of ownership :( ) selling corrado/gti bits in the middle of the mess outside. I was either freezing cold or had bright sunlight in my eyes, and jesus, what a lot of odd people there :shock: I didnt see u there Bally ? You should have popped over (could have got me a nice warm cuppa :D ) I managed 1 pee and had 1 drink from 6.50am to 4 pm.... I was up at 3am, arrived there 6.45am....got home 8pm... and fell asleep 4 times on the motorway... which is not good... My toes are just beginning to get circulation back! I saw Darren (G werk), but that was it? I assume every one else was inside keeping warm.. :x as was my mate with his trade stand.. I have to say when i saw the C's driving past, I was mega impressed with the quality.. Maybe a meet up at GTi international is a good idea then ??

beavis 0 Posted November 18, 2003 Good show, but too much emphersis on trade with very little on the cars. More of a social gathering and stocking up on spares though the winter show. Very enjoyable none the less. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Jet 1 Posted November 18, 2003 It wasn't too bad, Got a cheap set of brake pads, (did arrive early though), Saw stevemac, dave0280, and Jim, Had a good chat before realising the time and vanishing to my grandparents for dinner :mad: What mad me laugh was the old camper van outside the show entrance that was for sale at £6000, now the thing was rusty as hell, and one step away from the scrappies!!

Tattie 0 Posted November 18, 2003 So why not set up a Corrado Forum stand an Inters? Maybe Next to the CCGB stand, that way there are loads of fantastic Corrados for Jo Public to gawp at. Or at least get a 'club' camping area arranged. Get pissed and party!!! We've only got 6 months to organise it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
