GVK 0 Posted January 10, 2010 Dont you just love the number of old VW's that are still pounding around the tracks in Europe. Do Vaux or Ford have the same thing? You do get all sorts, especially at the 'ring.... the German cars (Golfs,E30/E36 BMWs etc. are very popular out there) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Request to join, mention the-corrado.net and I'll add you, unless you appear to be a weirdo, serial killer or rapist. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
