elliott 10 Posted January 27, 2012 This is a great one also, sad but great! I like when he says "the corrado, like any car, has it's faults." [video=youtube_share;2YR5HvPGsGQ] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 20 Posted January 27, 2012 Why does that corrado that Hammond drives look so good on standard suspension!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joebloggsVR69 0 Posted January 27, 2012 Why does that corrado that Hammond drives look so good on standard suspension!! Could be on earlier (slightly lower) springs, the later car's were ridiculously high Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gurby28 10 Posted January 28, 2012 I also like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6bD1aoXHkw And, I like the standard suspension. It's just good. :cheers: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joebloggsVR69 0 Posted January 28, 2012 Funny how Clarkson says the Prelude is gorgeous... :lol: Wonder what he'd think about it now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted January 28, 2012 Never seen the second vid before. Thanks for posting it. THough he does say the PG engine was unreliable, which is BS as they're bullet proof, i think he meant the charger could be unreliable and then it would generally be when the charger hasnt been serviced.

Wompa 0 Posted January 28, 2012 Im going to buy a original one and keep in a sheed!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toohottotrot 10 Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) Funny how Clarkson says the Prelude is gorgeous... :lol: Wonder what he'd think about it now Yep that Prelude is bland at best, bordering on quite ugly, and I have heard Clarkson say the Probe was crap and sounded like something the doctor inserted into your anus!

Yeah, could have been a bit more accurate. The ride height of those last cars does look a bit leisurely ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 20 Posted January 28, 2012 Never seen this video before: Never seen a corrado with the early style gauge pod fitted to the silver G60 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elliott 10 Posted January 29, 2012 Never seen this video before: Never seen a corrado with the early style gauge pod fitted to the silver G60 Lovely video, almost pornographic. Noticed it was uploaded by a mr yandards.... :wave: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abdul 0 Posted January 29, 2012 That second vid with the storm makes me want a standard storm so bad (maybe lowered a little lol). It's actually kinda sad almost, makes it sound as though vw just neglected the poor rado... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorradoWannabe 1 Posted January 29, 2012 elliott - where did you find that one? I've not seen it before either! As said, it is sad - but good to watch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elliott 10 Posted January 30, 2012 elliott - where did you find that one? I've not seen it before either! As said, it is sad - but good to watch. Spent too many hours on youtube watching old top gear vids :) The favourites folder is full of car porn here :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toohottotrot 10 Posted January 30, 2012 elliott - where did you find that one? I've not seen it before either! As said, it is sad - but good to watch. Amazes me how few people on here have looked at this vid that I uploaded last autumn, lots was said on here at the time. Looking at my youtube stats, the vast majority of people that viewed were in Spain followed by the USA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It sounds like my cup of tea as they say. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elliott 10 Posted January 30, 2012 I've seen mk1 sciroccos before but a 20v supercharged? Can't be many of them on the go? :) Hardly any mk1 sciroccos full stop come to think of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toohottotrot 10 Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) [ATTACH=CONFIG]51334[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]51335[/ATTACH] I have video of the Mk1. A few people on here have seen the car at various meets last year. It was a ground up restoration on an 81 GLS with documented 67k miles from new. I bought it from the person that built the car. A Mclaren engineer named Neil. The car was fitted with a G60 supercharged Audi 20 valve four cylinder, minus the turbo. Many other mods too. Very light and very quick! :) I like the shape, to me it looks like a mk 0 Corrado! True there are very few mk1 Sciroccos left......and this is without doubt the finest there is. :) Edited January 30, 2012 by Toohottotrot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Portent 0 Posted January 30, 2012 Back in the 80's and early 90's my brother had a mk1 Scirocco Storm and then later a mk2 Scirocco Storm. They are the reasons I later had a succession of Golfs, Sciroccos and now a Corrado :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elliott 10 Posted January 31, 2012 I do love the mk1, very rare and without the vw badges a complete mystery to most people. Loving the pictures :) thanks. Interestingly did you know Clarkson had a mk1 scirocco? [video=youtube_share;Dq3zEihXk6c]http://youtu.be/Dq3zEihXk6c Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
