1994/L Corrado 2.0 16v

1992/J Corrado G60

 

50% of my cars have been dubs.. though the Corrado's reliability factor hasn't made it a particularly happy history thus far.

Im 20 (21 in april)

 

so far i the corrado is the only VW i have owned. Wasn't a massive fan of the Mk2 Golf mainly becuase there are too many of them around. I prefer cars you dont see so often and that not many ppl know about so are suprised when you burn them off at the lights.

 

1. Pug 305 GL

2. Honda CRX MK2 1.6 16v

3. VW Corrado VR6

Dubs since 1992, in a previous life I had a Mini, Metro HLE 81 X, 82 Y XR3 in sunburst red with Janspeed and richard grant skirts. No, really it was nice!!!!, another Metro HLE on a B. Then I went Rice and had a Corolla GT the RWD one, That got 100Ks worth of abuse. C plate Celica. and then the Corolla again which I swapped for the first MK1. The start of my downfall???

 

80 W mk1 GT1 (rotten). Bought every repair panel going for it. ABE 777 W still got the chassis plate somewhere.

82Y 1600 GTI in black

86 C MK2 GTI in White

89 F Golf 16V. I had half of this one with a mate.

93 K Passat estate GL 2 litre in Met Black.
