Dark Blue Corrado in Charfield this morning (8:45am) on Manor Lane. Just a glimpse of the rear so not sure what variety - M9** W**

 

A few Cs being reported around here - enough for a mini meet me thinks?

Plenty of C's in the area then, I'm around the corner in Wallingford!

 

Any local meets you attend?

 

Not really, should do tho! I sometimes go along to the Dub Club Oxford meets but I have found them quite cliquey and not always open to new faces... Some of the lads are spot on mind but quite a few won't give you the time of day I find....

That's 2 of us then!

 

In the past we've either met at the Hot Air Balloon pub near Birdlip or a pub (whose name escapes me) at Tormarton (next to Junction 18 M4). Hot air balloon is best if we are doing a Bristol/Worcester joint event but up for other venues if anybody has any ideas - a new thread is best :wink:

Yeah I joined the DCO forum but haven't made it down yet, doesn't sound that clever after reading your comments though! Maybe we should try and organise a local one?! I think the red VR6 owner comes on here but not sure of his name as my old man spoke to him randomly about the car recently when he saw it parked up but I wasn't there. He said he was a member of the Corrado Forum though...

I think he does around 400k miles a year! Must do for the size of area he covers for the spotted :D

I spotted 3 today, 2 stationary and one on the move.

 

1. Parked up near SGT garages in Taplow Berks, black 16V outside a workshop. Doesn't look like it has moved recently.

2. A red G plate one, on Waltham road, sounded like a G60, got a wave and lights flash.

3. Parked up on the edge of Larchfield, an N reg VR6 in blackberry, with grey leather, tidy looking stocker.

 

I cover about 20-25K per year, pretty anywhere in the UK and a few continental trips chucked in. Gives me plenty of opportunity to spot cars.

Spotted a Classic Green M plate Storm, on aftermarket 17's, on ASDA carpark Cannock, last night about 1900, parked well out of the way of errant trolleys, so thought it would be nice to give her some company, and left mine a couple of spaces adjacent, interior looked mint.

Spotted a red 1.8 valver (I think) parked alongside the Kenpas Highway (A46) yesterday on black 16 or 17" alloy wheels and with a personal plate. Looked nice and clean!

My regular route takes me from Altwood area of Maidenhead to White Waltham, but I also drop off a mates daughter at school in Marlow somne days. Then add my work travels, I get a good few chances to spot other Corrado's. Only seen one other forumers car out on the road, so most of the others are probably not aware of our existence....

 

I'm about to head out to Beaconsfield, I'll kep 'em peeled. :wave:
