chimo 0 Posted May 1, 2004 hello everybody Nice forums here. I've been lurking around here for a while, so I figured that I'd introduce myself. I'm Andrew, I drive a 93 Corrado VR6, and I'm in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada hope to give some Canadian content in here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinkus 10 Posted May 1, 2004 Welcome to the forum :D Obviously, this is the best Corrado forum, but make sure you check out the Corrado Club of Canada site and their forum for events in Canada as well. They have a big meet in Toronto coming up on the 29th May (bit of a trek from PEI tho..) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vr6storm 0 Posted May 2, 2004 those last posts made me very confused.... :?: whay not go via Groats, and right down the west cost via landsend? what???? andycowluk is trying to say that my route to this years GTi-International is a longer route than he would take down from my area........basically groats is John O groats the most northerly tip of mainland UK and landsend is the most southerly :wink: ......hope that clears up yer confusion :wink: its all just friendly banter :-P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andycowuk 0 Posted May 2, 2004 I feel a Roddy-ism coming on....... John O Groats is commonly believed to be the most northerly point of mainland UK, actually it is Dunnet Head. :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted May 2, 2004 I'm going to the season opener, 18 hour drive... I live in Toronto, but I don't have a car :cry: I need someone to adopt me for the day. I've been trying to post on the Candian forum, but the board emails never arrive telling me what my preset password is, so I can't post. Ho hum, roll on June when I can come back to England and get myself a nice VR6 :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chimo 0 Posted May 2, 2004 Thanks for clearing that up guys... I had no idea.... I'm going to have to take a trip over there and learn to understand you guys, and learn to drive on that side of the road. Dinkus, there's a rather lengthy post on vortex about the CCC season opener. I'm sure somone will adopt you at the car show. Get a hold of "Zarman" he's likely able to hook you up with somebody, he's likely the one to contact. I'd offer, but the gilrfriend will be there, and I'm likely not going to have any rear seats (I'm picking up a set of Recaros in Toronto, I'm leaving my rear leathers behind to save space). one question to you guys... Are Zender body kits difficult to come by over there? I scored an original kit (front and rear bumpers, side skirts and wing) and an Oettinger grille for $300 canadian / about 125 pounds. I think I got a really good deal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted May 2, 2004 Thanks chimo, I'll see if I can get hold of zarman. It does mean braving the vortex forum tho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
