527 miles and not a single Rado

Recommended Posts

Took 'Stormy' on an epic road trip, up to Nottingham to look round the uni and home again.

527 miles and not a single Corrado spotted, the only decent thing I saw was a white mk2 Golf, got a nice thumbs up so not all lost.

 

So, where are they all hiding?

At stealth, The local garage failing an MOT due to dodgy rear bearings or on someone's driveway having the heater matrix replaced (with the dash still fitted I'd hazard a guess).

 

Just my guess.

Yeah I don't think it's QUITE that time of year where they all come out of hibernation yet. That said, there were 4 in Collingwood last week. My 2 in the car club, a red G60 parked behind the car club, and an Aqua VR6 I saw outside the pass office, then again the following day parked outside the gym. Largest gathering of Corrados I've ever seen outside of an organised meet!

Often find the same. Often do long trips for various things (off to see family, football matches, etc) and basically never see a Corrado. But then sometimes you spot one just round the corner from where you live. They're really not very common any more at all.

It's one of the reasons why I bought the wife one . She just said she wanted something different . She loves vw so I thought why not . Should of bought her one ages ago tbh as it's the only car she has owned that she actually washes . (Lazy cow lol )

When my friend used to travel a lot with work he would text me occasionally when he had a rado spot - he would always laugh & tell people 'they are rarer than a ferrari you know, ive seen loads of them today but zero rado's' lol

 

BUT Rog feel free to drop in at mine when you pass this way again, ive 3 on the drive so you can have a multiple spot in one go ;)

Ha-ha - I just googled the same for a look - also says there are only 11 Storms although I suppose most of them could be registered just as VR6s as total number sound about right

I don't usually see many Corrado's when I'm on my trips but last Friday went out with brother-in-law and well I never. Sometime between 8-9 am travelling on the A429 towards Chippenham. We had just gone past Malmesbury and a Red (tidy) Corrado went past, could catch flavour then about 1/2 dozen cars later a Blue one. Later on in the day near Failand, Brisol another blue (sure that was a VR). Then to cap it all going through Melsham towards Chippenham on the A350 one of the last houses on the right had a Corrado in the drive next to a Black Golf MK1 (very, very tidy). I recognised the number plate from shows I'd been too. 4 in one day - result.

I've done 10,000 miles in my G60 over the last year and never passed another corrado.

 

One day though, one day.
