too hot 0 Posted September 26, 2009 Just a thought. What about a where are they now thread ? Put up your old Corrado details,see if the new owners are on here, or if the car is still on the road. I know you can check through the DVLA and it gives an idea of when the car was last taxed or sorn. It might be interesting to see where your old car is now and how it looks. :? Heres a couple for starters: Mysic Blue Storm N106 VBD Classic Gren Storm N772 RDU Green VR6 K41PHT Burgundy G60 J5 JWA Also as an aside where is A20 LEE ??

CazzaVR 0 Posted September 27, 2009 Good idea ;) K41 PHT is still going strong in Winterbourne, Bristol. One of my workmates saw it a few months back and thought it was me, then remembered I'd sold it. The owner is called Dave and said he'd registered on here, but don't think he's ever posted. Checked out all of mine the other day on the DVLA site. J18 ACC - Aqua Blue G60- still going 8) J328 BDT - Metallic Black 2.0 16v - GONE :( M15 VWX - Blackberry VR6 - Still going K837APD - Classic Green 2.0 16v - GONE :( Surprised about this as it was pretty damn immaculate, engine rebuild etc K653 LCA - Black VR6 - GONE Not surprised, as the mileage was over 250K last time I heard! K385 FHV - Aqua Blue 2.0 16v - Still going K41 PHT - Still going Here's alink to some of them... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted September 27, 2009 L539 GVH - 1994 Blackberry 2.0 16v J141 PFD - 1992 Pearl Green G60 I know the G60 changed hands a few times and is on here somewhere, but the 2.0 16v I just have no idea where it went. I part exchanged it on a 2nd hand car at a garage in Birmingham back in about 2002/2003 and I saw it go up for sale at a garage some time later on Autotrader.. despite leaving information about the forum in the folder of paperwork in the car, I never heard from it again :( Would love to know what happened to it!

Critical_Mass 10 Posted September 27, 2009 M639 FNL - Flash Red 2.0 8v. My first Corrado which was sadly written off in March 2005. As far as i know it was bought at auction - hopefully to get it fixed and back on the road. Can anyone tell me if that was the case? Oh and i still have a spare set of keys along with alarm fob :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Critical_Mass 10 Posted September 27, 2009 aaaah looking on the DVLA website its unlicensed. So i guess its been bought for pennies and broken for profit. Better then it sat rusting in a scrap yard i suppose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leonard 0 Posted September 27, 2009 Worth taking into account that it wont show ur old car on the dvla if put on a private plate. Doesnt mean that it has been scrapped.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullfinch 0 Posted September 28, 2009 Wow my Blackberry VR6 I part ex'd in 1999 at 70,000 miles is still going strong. Reg No. L678 VRL. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullfinch 0 Posted September 28, 2009 Forgot to add that my 16v J67 ODU last tax due date was 1997...not surprised considering it was stolen outside my house in Putney. I kept the drivers door handle as a momento for ages :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarlet_vr6 0 Posted September 29, 2009 they weren't Corrados but neither of my previous cars are still on the road... well, I knew about the Polo cos I put an end to that one but I am sad, although not really surprised, that my Scirocco is no more :( (I am assuming it is no more anyway, as the reg number isn't found - don't think it was ever on a private plate and can't imagine that anyone has put one on it now.)

Don't think we ever met in person, seem to remember being on holiday with the girlfriend when you came to buy it and leaving my dad to show you round. I do remember you saying you were buying it for the mrs. How is it running? Hope its been a good car for you and you've enjoyed owning it? Couple of upto date photos would be good?

Critical_Mass 10 Posted January 3, 2010 immobiliser button? I have one, you press it to deactivate the immobiliser, so if your keys get nicked the car still cant be started without pressing the button... normally they're better hidden though. Mine can be turned off, so that maybe the case with yours if it doesnt do anything. Just a thought. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
