Do they still do the mag? It may be worth contacting them direct. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted March 10, 2009 I haven't got that particular mag but I do have a book which is basically a collection of road test etc that involve a Corrado so I'll have a look in that later if you like. Might even be able to scan it in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adz The Rat 0 Posted March 10, 2009 Yea the guy has a copy and is going to send me a colour copy of it but Im inpatient and want to see it now lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corozin 0 Posted March 10, 2009 Well if you're car is on the cover of VW/Audi Driver then you'll be in rare company, as my own car was on the cover of the same magazine back in 1993 when it was Nothelle tuning's UK press car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted March 10, 2009 Sorry mate but it's not in my little book of reviews. Hopefully someone else on here knows something about it. :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corozin 0 Posted March 10, 2009 Here you go - proof. The car in the article below is the one I've now owned for 3 years. It's on a different registration these days, and is thankfully no longer on those appalling Zender wheels. It's also a lot more dented than it was...

KIPVW 0 Posted March 11, 2009 I have this magazine so i'll take a look and try and post up some pics. I think the article is a great read and is kind of a homage to the VR6 and basically concludes by saying that they wont be available much longer so go and buy a piece of motoring history :grin: or something like that.

Adz The Rat 0 Posted March 11, 2009 Its just arrived!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well impressed, I feel like a proud parent haha Will post up pics for you all to see when I get home tonight. Quick quote from the article: "The test example is a particularly quick one, even faster from a standing start than the modified Nothelle Corrado we tested in 1993" My actual car was timed at 6.3 to 60, not bad that!!

Adz The Rat 0 Posted March 11, 2009 Corozin sorry if that sounded as a dig at you, it wasnt! Just re-read what I put and thought it sounded off, sorry! Just was very impressed by that line in the article Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIPVW 0 Posted March 11, 2009 :lol: Thats a strike Munyard! but in all fairness Adz i'm sure Corozin wouldn't mind as its a completely different baby to what it was then. :wave: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corozin 0 Posted March 11, 2009 Corozin sorry if that sounded as a dig at you, it wasnt! Just re-read what I put and thought it sounded off, sorry! Just was very impressed by that line in the article No offence taken at all. My "Nothelle" has long since been so heavily modified that the interior and the flowed head are about the only parts left from the car they tested in 1993. Indeed the observant amongst you who read the Nothelle Road test will have spotted one of the secrets of the car's performance : running 40 section tyres on 16 inch wheels... no wonder it accelerated well. Today the car is a beaten up road/track day warrior. All the good stuff is hidden beneath the dented & mucky exterior :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did promise BiggerBigBen to write it up for his Coupehaus site a while back but I still havn't gotton around to doing the words & pictures. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
