Danny B 0 Posted September 10, 2012 Well the time has come and the rado is up for sale as some of you may or may not have noticed. Having Uhm and Arr'd it is now my time to bow out. I will still be posting and keeping an eye out on the forum, but ultimately once she's gone that will be it I'm affraid :( so ........ Auf Wiedersehen, Arrivederci, Au Revoir, Shalom, Zai Jian, Alvida, 再见 (my personal favourite), Adios, Sayonara, Ahoj, Hejdå, Aloha (for all the Hawaiian's on the forum), Farvel, Do zobaczenia ........ thanks everyone, its been brilliant being part of the best car forum around :notworthy: Danny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted September 10, 2012 When you have made the decision then it is fair enough and I'm sure you just want a smooth sale.. All the best with future ventures.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Billzeebub 1 Posted September 10, 2012 I have ultimately regretted selling every Corrado that I have owned. In future I only intend to sell one after buying another!..you will be back!!.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corrado_sunderland 0 Posted September 11, 2012 If i had the job i have now when i had mine i would never of sold mine and ive probably have 10,000 bhp 1.8t :lol: good luck with the sale though bud :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danny B 0 Posted September 11, 2012 I love the Rado and the Forum, and to be honest it was the forum which has stopped me from selling sooner. But ultimately things never stay the same and I have just lost interest in her...... sad but true. Perhaps in years to come when I become as rich as Sunderland I will 're-invest' !!!

Danny B 0 Posted September 12, 2012 Good luck with the sale,you were always on here when I first joined,(always loved your avatar then ! ) Not all come back,but most ! My original avatar was even better mate ...... it was a bulldog looking backwards with most of his arse in the picture :lol: - always made me chuckle. When the forum changed format I lost the image and cannot find it anymore. I only actually recognise people from their avatars rather than names so its a bit worrying that most people probably think of me as a large, smelly, dribbley fury four legged animal !!

Danny B 0 Posted September 15, 2012 Well having only had her up for sale for 6 days a nice chap called Will, who does use the forum, came to see her tonight and, rather annoyingly, drove away in her :( If you happen to read this Will ....... hope you made it home ok, keep in touch fella, hope it all goes well for you. Its a bit wierd not having a rado, but I will hang around here for sure. :salute: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danny B 0 Posted September 18, 2012 Thanks mate ...... funny thing is since she went on Saturday I have logged on more in the last couple of days than I have over the past 6 months. Got the Corrado bug again :bonk: Seriously though it has reminded me how much more friendly the CF is compared to other forums :notworthy: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy 0 Posted September 19, 2012 Serioulsy ? 'Drove it away' with No MOT, TAX or Insurance ? Hope I don't meet him on the roads.

Have had several friends who have had TVR's. After selling due to the very high maintenance costs, they are always breaking down and spend more time in garages then being driven. Strangely they never gone back for a second try, unlike most Corrado folk. I say Hire one for when you want to drive one - considerably cheaper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If any of ya friends have had a cerbera 4.2 id appreciate some input haha,a pretty well sorted one should be ok if used in the dry and kept in a garage :lol: but straight 6 ones are cheaper but problematic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wendy 0 Posted September 21, 2012 Yeap !! They are very tempermental from my understanding. I am not often in touch with the people I know who did own them, will see if I can find out anything. Thinks you must do your homework though before committing to one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
