So i was expecting it to fail on baldy tyres and knackered top mounts but alas, it failed only on the top mounts (conveniently sourced from VW yesterday :))

 

Time to give a scrub and wring the last bit of life out of those crappy everlasting tyres!

[Jon_vr6 1]

You love them tyres i hope they last ages hehe X

 

Oh and congrats on it passing

lovely car and colour (must be something about the colour i only owned mine a short while before it needed a headgasket but now love it)

 

that headlight loom made a good difference (got me thinking now lol)

[scarlet_vr6 0]

Boot chair is brilliant too - I def need one for this summer!

That'll be me i live around the corner. I've had a rough 9 months or so in terms of cars/driving but a full fix and respray is on the cards. I'm sick of the car looking the way it does,it looks neglected when it is anything but.

After driving around all embarassed about the dents and mis-matching panels i've finally had some of the bodywork sorted. There are still some scabs and bits of rust but from a short distance its now looking sweet. I'm happy again.

[Jon_vr6 1]

Looking good, Kate!

 

...Do you think it's looking good enough for a group photo shoot down at Brooklands? I do! :D

 

There's a little group of us East Midlands folk convoying down to the CCGB National Day on Sunday. Meeting in sunny stabo area at 07:30, arriving in Weybridge for 10:00am ish.

 

If you don't know Brooklands, I can assure you it's ace! Expect about 50+ Corrados getting lined up on the historic banked track (subject to good weather) plus a load of bikes and aeroplanes to look at in the museum. The only minor niggle is that you need to sign up / renew membership for CCGB via the website in advance (http://www.corradoclub.org/ccgb16/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=89&Itemid=163), however if you do then the photoshoot is paid for by the club (a tenner, paid for. Bargain!). You will have to pay a tenner to get into the museum, but all told it's still a good deal, I think :)

 

If you fancy it, take a look at this thread for convoy details: http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?70805-National-Day-M1-Convoy-South

 

If you do sign up and want to join in, just pipe up on this thread to tell the guys you're new but that you'd like to join in: http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?59944-National-Day-2012-Sunday-20-May-Brooklands

 

(The people to tell are Tempest, KipVW, Butterfly or CazzaVR)

 

(please excuse the thread highjack!!!) ;)
