Has your 'rado been mistaken for anything?

[Jim Bowen 1]

Corrocco, Scirraado...

 

most of my mates that have never seen it haven't got a clue what it is when i tell them :lol:

[colinstubbs 0]

I had an arguement with a chap at work who was convinced the new(at the time) Ford Focus shape was based on a Corrado because it had the same/similar silouette!! :shock:

 

Yeah like a front, a rear, wheels and a roof! :nono: :lol: :lol:

[Critical_Mass 10]

Had the 'Its a Scirocco isnt it?' comment this morning. :bad-words:

 

Its funny, because even a person with VERY VERY Little interest in cars can tell 2 shapes apart. How does a corrado look like an old vectra, Beemer or Focus. I mean you wouldnt get a circle, square or triangle mixed up even if you didnt know what they were called :lol: Its almost as if they have absolutely no concept of different car designs.

Got pulled by the police a couple of years ago and on the slip to produce my documents he wrote Sciroco, when I sai it was a Corrado he muttered a bit and changed it to a Curdado. When I pointed it out at the station the next day the guy on the desk looked at the number on the form and said"Oh him, dickhead, I always liked them calibras." Being the soull of diplomacy I smiled, nodded and left."

An old housemate of mine once stood next to a Rover 220 waiting for me to open the door. I got into my Corrado and considered making her walk :D

^^^ ROFL

 

same as everyone else - Scirocco. More people call it that than Corrado, even before the new one came out. Sigh.

 

Also had Corolla a fair few times and a friend of mine insists of calling it the Corroda but I know he only does it to wind me up. It also gets called a Jetta from time to time by another friend who gets my 2 mixed up. Oh well, at least I haven't had Calibra. Yet...

Corolla

[Supercharged Junkie 0]

I`ve had loads of "nice scirocco" and even a "nice golf" :shrug:

Best one was, waiting in a VW Dealers for the parts i`d ordered, when a sales rep comes up and says "Is that your Scirocco parked outside?" when i said "if by Scirocco, you mean Corrado then YES it is!" :censored:

He then asked if he could have the keys because it was blocking a customer car, which normally i would of said "NOT A CHANCE" but feeling evil :twisted: i said yeah here you go, when i went out 5mins later he was still trying to figure out now to start it :epicfail:

[The_Dude 0]

One of my uncles who is into cars insists on calling it a Currada, but he is contender for world's biggest prat and is currently wooing potential wife number 5.

scirroco

I was down my alotment one (dont laugh) when I shouted over to a women (she was about 50) and asked her to move her car so I could get by, and to my ammacement she shouted back "ok you wouldn't want to get your corrado dirty" I was shocked. Then she said I love the vr6 engine I used to have a golf. I was well shocked lol.

 

yeh, 50, sounds old doesnt it. Then I remember my mus over that age and she used to have a scirocco and a Mk1 Gti. The rocco often got called a Delorean - pah!

 

Whats this about handing over the keys? Whats so difficult about starting one? Presume you've got one of those imobiliser fobs.

[Rob_G60 0]

yep, scirocco about 3 times a week

[cardboard 0]
