Stevo-M 0 Posted June 17, 2009 My de-badged mk3 supra has been called a few things from an MR2 to a Ferrari, I've even been told it's not a supra! :lol: Anyway what's your Corrado been called? I usually get " a corrando.. what's that?" to which i can only reply with "It's a..... car... :shrug: " Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swiftkid 1 Posted June 17, 2009 I spent 20 minutes chatting to a guy at a pub staring directly at my the back end of my car saying how nice my scirocco was. I corrected him about 10 times but he still didn't tag on :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jack 0 Posted June 17, 2009 As my Corrado is a left hander a guy once said to me is that what the Germans got instead of a Scirroco :lol: :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carter711 0 Posted June 17, 2009 I've had the Scirrocco one a few times, more worringly when asked my a girl what car I drive and replying Corrado she says oh I know the ones, they look a bit like a 3 series compact :gag: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Purple Tom 0 Posted June 17, 2009 Not quite the same, but I once got approached by a girl outside Tesco's, saying how nice the car was, and asking what it was. I replied with the usual 'its a Corrado', expecting a blank stare in reply, but she said 'no no, what is it? A VR, G60, what?' I was gobsmacked! I then had to say it was just a 2.0 8V, to which she replied 'oh well, at least it'll be economical' :lol: Wish I'd got her number but having the (ex) missus sat next to me wasn't conducive :( Its also been called a Scirocco on a number of occasions, and also a Rover Tomcat which was swiftly corrected :brickwall: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sonicriot13 0 Posted June 17, 2009 When I lived in Stowmarket my next door neighbor asked me if my old G60 was a Scorpio.

Scirrado is one I've had more than once though. :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

g ansell 0 Posted June 17, 2009 Haha! Funny thread this one! Ive had it mistaken for a Scirocco before, my stepdad calls it the ' CORRODO ' kind of ironic seeing as it doesnt corrode at all, and mum calls it the ' CORRADA ' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
