8vMatt 1 Posted September 25, 2010 There's prob about 95% of people on here that would love to have your car Andy :) I'm not bored with mine, its been at the bodyshop for the best part of a month now (bodyshop got busy with Dealer cars, so mine got pushed back). I'm itching to get it back :brickwall: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
big ben 10 Posted September 25, 2010 nope, love mine thanks and havent once thought about getting rid.... think its time yours got a turbo :norty: :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abdul 0 Posted September 25, 2010 I haven't actually seriously thought about getting rid just yet either but im pretty sure once ive saved up enough to do what i want to do with the rado ill end up selling up to buy something else lol. Modding is begining to make less sense to me these days.... :? :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'll feel so much better about it then. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mic_VR 3 Posted September 25, 2010 Wouldn't say I was bored with mine but I do have a massive urge to get back into motorbikes. My main problem is storage where I live. I'd love to get mine 100% sorted but keeping it out on the street all the time means it gets a new blemish on a seemingly weekly basis. At least I could get a motorbike into the back garden.

Slimg60 0 Posted September 25, 2010 I'm far from bored of my car, but my sensible head is starting to take over and say that it may be time to give up the Corrado for something a little more practical and comfortable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C5 OEM 0 Posted September 25, 2010 i drive 500 miles per week and teach people to drive so it is nice to get into the corrado, maybe more performance is what i need...? but dont want to deviate greatly from standard... cams would be a good upgrade if i could find some..!! Might try and garage it for couple of months :shrug: then come back with fresh ideas/energy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 25, 2010 Kip gets fed up of his car at the end of every summer. Sticks it in the garage and does something else all winter. Come March / April it's all change again and he loves it. Maybe as you say, you need a bit of a break from it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vornwend 0 Posted September 25, 2010 Take the car out for a good spin on a nice twisty road, you'll enjoy it. Agreed! Not had much to do with mine recently but took it out for a good blast today and really felt the love return - especially on good roads and when being able to wind the window down before a short, sharp, full throttle overtaking maneuvre :D So, so much better than the works daily (Golf 2.0 TDI Blue motion). Just wanna keep driving around looking for more fun 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIPVW 0 Posted September 25, 2010 My VR hasn't been started up since getting home from BVF in the fist weekend in July :shock: still covered in flies and now covered in nearly 3 months of garage dust. I currently F'king hate it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KIPVW 0 Posted September 25, 2010 I even wrote HATE in the dust on it the other day! :( dont ask me why i really just lost it and with the issues it has too are no help whatsoever. Cant be bothered to clean it and cover it up but i guess i'd better sort it before winter sets in. :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted September 25, 2010 What's wrong with it Paul, beyond the bit of rust on the tailgate? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joby 0 Posted September 25, 2010 Mines the same kip covered in dust in the garage , I usually have a cover over it but can`t even be bothered to do that :( and have just bought a TT that needs a cambelt and a full service so the corrado is going to have to take second fiddle and sit around the back of the house untill i have sorted the TT ! Hopefully i will feel better when i get to the classic car show :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIPVW 0 Posted September 25, 2010 What's wrong with it Paul, beyond the bit of rust on the tailgate? :lol: Got it in one my friend. yeah its a minor setback but to sort it right means a new tailgate painting and feeding all the wires in and all that hassle and with my eye operation it just knocked me back 3 months, i know for certain it'll be fine but i just cant get my head round it at the mo! Joby, will have to share a few beers and discuss it at the NEC :drinking: :lol: good luck with the TT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted September 25, 2010 I asked in that sort of way to try and suggest that it's pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things :) You have one of, if not THE best Corrado's in the country Paul. Yes, to put that right will be a shit - time consuming and expensive. But the car is virtually flawless in every other aspect and you should be proud of what you've achieved with it. Put it on ice, forget about it and tackle it when the love comes back. You've got two other Corrado's to enjoy in the mean time and that little blemish isn't exactly going to spiral out of control in the winter months with it all locked away in your garage! I'm guessing it's the nugget coming down for the Classic Car Show and not the VR in November? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIPVW 0 Posted September 25, 2010 I Know mate I know, it just gets me at this time of year and it happens every year and it gets worse as i get older Lol! Yes it'll be Sunflower at the NEC :flower: be nice to see if it'll compare with the attention it grabbed at harewood. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackrado1 0 Posted September 25, 2010 Your'e right Kip, you do get well fed up with them, its the constant striving for that perfection, but it being a car it wears and get scratched or paint chips when you take em out each time, so its bound to have an effect such as you have at the moment, you just cant achieve what you are trying to do, so use it a tad more and enjoy the driving as apposed to the striving mate.!
